Drake has suggested that Rihanna and Nicki Minaj are iconic artists.
The rapper praised the pair for their vibrancy and culture, insisting that they are leading stars who make the largest contribution to the modern music scene.
Speaking about his new Rihanna collaboration 'Take Care', Drake told Google Music: "I really wanted to bring her into our world, but still allow her to be herself.
"I think she really shines bright. She comes from a place that's so rich in culture, so rich in music, but being the most iconic female period right now - next to Nicki Minaj, of course… [Nicki is] just doing incredible, she's my favourite person."
The star also said that in five years' time, he would like the public to view his new album Take Care as "another point of consistency" in his work.
The 25-year-old recently revealed that he tried to get Justin Timberlake to feature on his new record, but he was unavailable due to his busy acting schedule.
Drake's Take Care reached number one on the US Billboard 200 and five on the UK album chart upon its release earlier this month.
