As part of DJ Khaled's upcoming 12th studio album, Khaled Khaled, he dropped the project's first two singles, "Popstar" and Greece," which both feature Drake, on July 17. The rapper is known for name-dropping celebrities in his music, so when you have a song called "Popstar," it should come as no surprise when he references some famous faces in his lyrics. From Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber to Ariana Grande, Drake's "Popstar" lyrics reference so many stars.

This isn't the first time Drake and DJ Khaled have teamed up, because their collaborations go way back. In 2010, they released "Fed Up" with Usher, Young Jeezy, and Rick Ross, and then they dropped "For Free" in 2016, and "I'm On One" in 2017.

Knowing their history, DJ Khaled just had to work with Drake again on his upcoming album Khaled Khaled. The DJ announced his album title on July 16, and the next day, he dropped its first two singles, "Popstar" and "Greece."

While Drake seemingly references Sophie Brussaux, who is the mother of his 2-year-old son, Adonis, in "Greece," he calls out pretty much everyone in the music industry in "Popstar" by name.

In the first verse, Drake mentions Scooter Braun, Grande, and Gomez, as he sings,

I'm a popstar, but this sh*t ain't bubblegum, yeah/ You would probably think my manager is Scooter Braun, yeah/ But my manager with twenty hoes in Buddakan, yeah, ayy/ Look, Ariana, Selena, my Visa/ It can take as many charges as it needs to, my girl.

In the second verse, he name-drops Canadian musician David Foster, actor Kevin Costner, and music icon Whitney Houston.

If we talkin' joints, it's just me and David Foster/ Bodyguards don't look like Kevin Costner, you tweakin'/ Just pulled up to Whitney Houston, Texas for the evenin'

He finishes the second verse by mentioning Bieber.

Crown in my hand and I'm really playin' keep-away/ Sh*t don't even usually get this big without a Bieber face
