Drake's latest single Marvin's Room has triggered a number of celebrities to create their own remix of the chart topper. Among the singers who remixed the single are Chris Brown, Romeo, Jojo, Teyana Taylor, Sammie, Kim Morrell and a really good "Youtube celebrity" Skye Townsend.

All the versions stay true to the essence of what the original version is about - a drunk, nostalgic individual trying to convince his/her ex to come back to them. Chris Brown gets dirty in his remix with the line "If lick that spot then you wont act like that", it's one of the most favored remix.

There has been speculations that it's a Drake diss. Funny how the song drops two days after the BET slip up where Drake accepts the award for rumoured girlfriend Rihanna, just to find out that it was a mixtake and had to give it to her ex, Chris Brown. awkwaardd.

Jojo shows how much she's grown with her remix telling 'Marvin' to F**K the girl he's with because she cant sex him like she (jojo) can. It's the most favored version by many and they're buzzing about how raunchy it is, JOJO girl we love the grown you!

RnB singer Sammie dropped his piece, taking it up a notch by suggesting that he's prepared to fight 'Marvin' to win his girl back. He also gave us a preview of his rapping skills and Sammie we're impressed!
#SideBar: why are people saying that he's trying to sound like Trey Songs? Sammie has been in the business from he was a child, thats how he sings.

Teyana Taylor shows us how amazing her voice is when she belted out the final few lines of the songs. She WORKED those vocals!

These are just the few that stood out for me. The other artistes did a very good job with their renditions. I love 'em all. You guys should check them out!

'Marvin's Room' is the name of Marvin Gaye's studio. Drake recorded the song there and named it after the studio.
