Sexyy Red has addressed speculation that she and Drake are dating, telling Hot 107.9’s DJ Holiday that she was not surprised by the rumours but did not confirm a romantic relationship, per hiphopwired.com.
The rapper described Drake as a close confidant and said she regularly seeks his advice.
Speaking in a recent interview with DJ Holiday, Sexyy Red said she understood why fans had linked her and the Canadian rapper romantically, given their frequent collaborations and public appearances together. “Of course he gonna fall for me,” she said, before adding that, viewed objectively, the pairing would be “a crazy little combo”.
The St Louis rapper said their relationship had developed substantially since she broke through with “Pound Town”. She said she had been surprised by how close the two had become and credited Drake with helping her navigate the music industry.
“I learned a lot from him,” Sexyy Red said. “I be asking him for advice a lot. If something going on and I don’t know what to do, I’ll ask him, ‘What does this mean?’ He’ll give me the real, raw and uncut.”
Their professional connection includes “Rich Baby Daddy”, Drake’s track featuring Sexyy Red and SZA. The song was among their earliest major collaborations and helped fuel ongoing interest in their relationship.
Drake and Sexyy Red have worked together on several records and have been seen together on multiple occasions, sustaining fan interest in their relationship.
