iLoveMakonnen

Makonnen Kamali Sheran (born April 12, 1989), better known by his stage name iLoveMakonnen (often stylized in all caps), is an American rapper and singer. He is best known for his 2014 single "Tuesday", which gained recognition following its remix with Canadian rapper Drake. After its release in August of that year, he signed with Drake's record label OVO Sound, an imprint of Warner Records that same month; the song was re-released by the label shortly after and subsequently peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Tuesday" was also nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, and served as the lead single for his likewise re-issued self-titled debut extended play (2014), which peaked at number 72 on the Billboard 200. He would later release a sequel, alongside two mixtapes (one with Rich the Kid), on the label, before parting ways with OVO in 2016.

Since leaving OVO, less of his releases have garnered similar success. After setting priorities with Warner Records, he release the mixtape Drink More Water 6, which gained decent chart success, peaking at number 25 on the Top Rap Albums chart. He would later go on to write "Falling Down", a collaboration between frequent collaborator Lil Peep and XXXTentacion, with the song peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming a worldwide success. The original version with Makonnen, "Sunlight On Your Skin", was also released, with another collaboration, "I've Been Waiting" (with Fall Out Boy), peaking at number 62 on the Billboard Hot 100. He would eventually release the album Diamonds with Peep in 2023. He has also collaborated with artists such as 21 Savage, Post Malone, Juice Wrld, Lil Yachty, Ty Dolla Sign, Gucci Mane, Wiz Khalifa, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Rae Sremmurd, Mike Will Made It, Metro Boomin, Mustard, Sonny Digital, Skepta, Santigold, Steve Aoki, and Yung Lean.
