Speaking of their latest collaboration, .Paak told Fallon: “I’ve made a lot of music with Dr Dre. Like, probably two albums’ worth. Honestly, it’s music that I really feel like getting out.”

.Paak admitted the pair regularly clash in the studio, saying: “It can be frustrating at times. We butt heads – and his head is bigger than mine, too.” He joked: “He’s bigger, so it’s ‘Alright, Dre, sounds good to me.'”
