Drake Regrets Naming His Ex-Girlfriends In His Music

Published

Drake regrets namechecking his exes in his music.

The ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker admitted he has two regrets when it comes to his back catalogue, one being “disrupting somebody’s life” by mentioning them by name or making clear references to them, and the second being mocking older rappers.

Discussing his song ‘Weston Road Flows’, in which he raps about retiring at 35, he told Lil Yachty on ‘Moody Conversations’: “I hate hearing that s***. I think that, and sometimes when I’ve said girls’ names in songs, maybe those are the two things that I look back on and I’m like, ‘Maybe I could’ve done without, like, s* on people for age or disrupting somebody’s life.’ “

The 36-year-old rapper stressed that “the lyrics are never with ill intent” but admitted one of his former partner’s had called him out about it once and bluntly told him about the impact his words could have.

But though Drake has tried his “best to stop doing that”, he admitted it isn’t always easy because sometimes he just needs an outlet for his feelings.

During his carer, Drake has recorded several songs fans believed to be about his relationship with Rihanna, and in 2021, he claimed he briefly dated SZA in his track ‘Mr. Right Now’.

He rapped of the ‘Kill Bill’ singer: “Yeah, said she wanna f*** to some SZA, wait / ‘Cause I used to date SZA back in ’08.”

The same year, he referenced a relationship with Jennifer Lopez in ‘Diplomatic Immunity’.

The track features the lyric: “2010 was when I lost my halo/2017, I lost a J.”

On one side is his legitimate family, the city-dwelling wealthy Gatehis, led by the matriarch Evangeline. Measured, calculating, classy but ruthless when crossed, Evangeline is played by Dora Nyaboke (Single Kiasi, Crime and Justice) in her first ever lead role.

On the other side, tucked away in their decent Uasin Gishu home are the Lang’ats, Leo’s second family from whom the young Sinde (newcomer Vanessa Okeyo) rises to challenge Evangeline as they both fight for the control of Leo’s empire.

Second Family is the first Showmax Original telenovela in Kenya, and the streamer’s third Original telenovela in Africa, building on the success of South Africa’s award-winning, record-breaking The Wife – inspired by Dudu Busani-Dube’s bestselling novels Hlomu The Wife (Season 1), Zandile the Resolute (Season 2) and Naledi, His Love; and Nigeria’s Wura.

Intruder Who Wanted To Propose To Rihanna Apprehended

Published

Police were called to Rihanna’s home on Thursday (23.03.23) after a man arrived at the house with the intention of proposing to the singer.

The unnamed guy had travelled from South Carolina to Los Angeles and walked up the ‘Diamonds’ hitmaker’s house but was almost immediately stopped by her security team.

After telling them of his intentions, the staff called cops and the officers handcuffed the man, put hi in a squad car and had a “serious chat about his intentions”, TMZ reports.

It was determined the man hadn’t broken any laws but he was asked to leave and told not to return.

It is unclear if pregnant Rihanna – who has a 10-month-old son with partner A$AP Rocky – was at home at the time.

This isn’t the first time an unwanted visitor has been to her house.

In 2018, a guy named Eduardo Leon spent 12 hours inside Rihanna’s house last May before he was found by the 35-year-old singer’s assistant.

When he was arrested by police, he claimed he intended on having sex with Rihanna – who was not home at the time – though he insisted he would not have done it without her consent.

He later pleaded guilty to stalking, vandalism and resisting arrest and was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to participate in a Office of Diversion and Re-entry (ODR) programme, which is designed for offenders who have “mental health and/or substance use disorders, including persons who are homeless”.

Rihanna was also granted a criminal protection order against him.

Meanwhile, in 2015, investigators questioned a man who had sent the ‘Umbrella’ singer death threats and taken selfies outside her mansion, whilst in 2014, police in New York arrested a man after he showed up at her SoHo home to deliver notes to the star, after having already sent multiple letters to her Los Angeles address.
