Soca artiste Denise ‘Saucy Wow’ Belfon says she feels “wonderful, elated and excited” after Canadian rapper Drake sampled her hit song ‘Work’ on his latest album.

The five-time Grammy Award winner released three albums on Friday: Maid of Honor, Iceman and Habibti. Belfon’s iconic “Put yuh back in it” line appears near the end of track seven, BBW, on Maid of Honor.

Fans in T&T quickly took to social media after the albums dropped, expressing shock and excitement at hearing the 1998 soca hit featured on the project.
