Are Drake and Rick Ross secretly working on a joint album?

Retired NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco's tweet per day count far exceeds his 69.6 receptions per season average. One tweet from last week, however, stuck out in his crowded timeline:

The joint album they’re doing together with unseat all projects they’ve done to date https://t.co/GJDlW2gpmb

Drake and Rick Ross have 17 collaborations since 2009, including "No New Friends," "Aston Martin Music," "I'm On One" and "Lord Knows." Most recently, Drizzy dropped three-track EP Scary Hours 2 last Friday, which featured Rick Ross on "Lemon Pepper Freestyle" and recharged fans' clamoring for a full-length joint-project.

Ochocinco may not be an obvious source for breaking music news, but his love for Ross dates back to his playing days. Rozay also stopped by Ochocinco's popular YouTube series I AM ATHLETE—hosted alongside Brandon Marshall, Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder—in late December, so it's very possible that Ocho knows something the rest of us don't.
