Drake chatted to Ninja while playing the game, a player versus player battle in a world where a global storm has caused 98% of the world's population to disappear. He gave his opinion on eating pineapple with pizza (he's a fan) and revealed that he likes to play the game with his friends in between recording sessions at his studio.
