Songfacts®:

  • "On BS" stands for "on bulls--t." Here, Drake and 21 Savage call out lame artists. Both MCs share a disdain for less-accomplished rappers who need their help to sell records.

    I jump on your song and make you sound like you the feature

    When 21 contributes to another artist's song, he becomes the headlining act.

    I jump on your song and make a label think they need ya, for real

    When labels get wind of Drake's presence on another MC's track, they want to sign them up.
  • Ozan "Oz" Yildirim created the beat. The Swiss producer's previous collaborations with Drake include his hit single "Toosie Slide" and joint track with Future, "Life Is Good."
  • The guy on the outro is French car salesman Arthur Kar. The founder of Paris-based luxury dealership L'Art de L'Automobile, Kar has an A-list clientele that includes Tyler the Creator, and presumably, Drake and 21 Savage.
  • Drake and 21 Savage recorded "On BS" for their collaborative album Her Loss. Their spoof Saturday Night Live performance of this song was the first video they released for the record.
