Cash Cobain is speaking up about the artists who imitate his formula in its entirety. The rapper, known for inventing the sexy drill style, was with Onsite! During the weekend when he complained about the new trend. He acknowledged that it was okay for other artists to follow his style. However, Cobain shared that he takes exception to them imitating him without making changes.
Cash Cobain Speaks On Sexy Drill Formula
Cash Cobain was at Hot 97’s Summer Jam 2025, where he was billed to perform. Onsite! caught him for a quick interview about his music. The Bronx native obliged and shared his feelings about the sexy drill wave spreading across the nation. Cash Cobain revealed that he was apprehensive about the development because many artists simply copied his formula in their music.
He said, “I feel like when you do something, you’ve got to do it in your own way. I feel like a lot of people really try to just copy, not just the music, but like my whole formula, like being around a lot of girls.”Cobain pointed out that few, if any, artists made drill music with a lot of girls around them before him. “Now, everybody wants to do the same thing,” he said, adding, “It’s cool, but it’s not cool. Do your own thing.”I took drill, and I made sexy drill. I ain’t make drill, but I made sexy drill. I took drill and made it sexy.”
Cash Cobain Glad That Sexy Drill is Making Waves
Cash Cobain is not entirely against having other artists hop onto the sexy drill wave; he is just against them copying his formula. In a November interview with Mixmag last year, the Fisherrr rapper discussed why he creates sexy drill music.
“Drill music, but imagine it being about sex. Instead of [rapping] about killing each other, mine is about having a good time, having sex, meeting somebody you like, and saying to them in all so many words what you want to do to them. It’s a groove where you can dance and move your body,” he said.
Cobain revealed that he was glad several artists, including those he looked up to, like Playboi Carti and Drake, are warming up to it. Notably, Drake worked on the album art for the Play Cash Cobain album, as confirmed by Cobain’s Instagram post.
The Nobody artist also revealed that he never wanted to be a rapper and wants other artists to “shine and take the spotlight.” He said:”Rapping comes with a whole set of problems and responsibilities. I got in the door and made that bridge for everything else. Producing is my love. Being a creative, I just love making beats, and I can’t stop. I still want to be on top, but I want my other artists to shine and take the spotlight.”
Cobain added that he wants “everyone else to have the spotlight” while he oversees everything. However, he admitted that he wants to do all he can to become a star in the music scene.
Cash Cobain’s remarks about having his entire formula make sense. Hopefully, those imitating his entire style will start adding creative twists to their music.
