Drake, the talented Canadian singer and rapper, is one of the most famous and popular people in the music business. Four Grammy Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, and a string of number-one songs are just a few of his many accomplishments.
His personal life, which includes relationships with famous people like Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Nicki Minaj, has been in the news a lot. But there has been a lot of talk about his sexuality, even though he is known to have had relationships with straight people. This makes me wonder: Is Drake gay? Let’s look at the proof.
What is Drake?
Drake is the stage name of Canadian rapper, singer, and songwriter Aubrey Drake Graham. On October 24, 1986, he was born. Drake became famous for his role as Jimmy Brooks on the CTV teen soap series Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2008). He also started a music career and put out his first mixtape, Room for Improvement, in 2006.
Drake is known as a pop rap artist, and he is charged with making singing and R&B sounds more popular in hip-hop. Drake’s music used to mostly be hip hop and R&B, but since the albums Nothing Was the Same (2013) and Views (2016), it has become more pop and trap.
His music has also been influenced by scenes from around the world, such as Jamaican dance hall and UK drill.
Drake is one of the most popular musicians in the world. He has sold over 170 million songs. He has more certified digital songs than any other artist in the US. His 34 Billboard Music Awards are a record. He also has five Grammys, six American Music Awards, two Brit Awards, and three Juno Awards.
The Billboard Hot 100 has had 11 number-one hits by Drake (12 if you count “Sicko Mode”). Drake also holds several Hot 100 records, such as the most top 10 singles (68), the most charted songs (294), the most songs charted at the same time in one week (27), the most Hot 100 debuts in one week (22), and the longest time on the Hot 100 (431 weeks). He also has the most number one songs on the Rhythmic Airplay, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Hot Rap Songs lists.
Is Drake Gay?
A lot of the rumors about Drake’s sexuality come from the vague or suggestive language in some of his songs. He raps in “Marvin’s Room,” which came out in 2011, “I’m just saying you could do better/Tell me have you heard that lately/I’m just saying you could do better/And I’ll start hating only if you make me.”
For some fans, these words could mean that the singer loves a man who is in a straight relationship.
Another issue is his 2021 song “Girls Want Girls,” which he wrote with Lil Baby and is from his album “Certified Lover Boy.” He raps, “Looking at your dress because it’s see-through/Talking about all the crap you’ve been through/Yeah, say you’re a lesbian, girl, me too.”
Many fans don’t understand this lyric, and some are wondering if it’s a joke or an admittance of being gay or bisexual.
Drake has been linked to a number of guys over the years, either as friends or in a way that makes it seem like they might be dating. One example that stands out is his friendship with Canadian singer and songwriter The Weeknd.
Even though they’ve worked together and said they respect each other, rumors of a deeper link have stuck around, especially after a video from 2010 showed them kissing on stage, which Drake later played off as a joke.
There have also been rumors spread because Drake is friends with Bobbi Althoff, who is an influencer and show host.
People were surprised by how close they were, especially after Althoff went to Drake’s show in Los Angeles and wrote on Instagram, “Sometimes people aren’t who we think they are.” This vague post led to guesses about feelings that weren’t reciprocated or a possible rejection.
Who is Drake Dated?
Drake wasn’t joking when he put out the record Certified Lover Boy. The rap artist was referring to himself. When we looked into Drake’s past relationships and stories, we were shocked to find that, despite gay rumors, he has been linked to several famous people.
A lot of famous people, like Rihanna, Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, and many more, have been tied to him. See below for a list of all the women and dates Drake had.
Rihanna
Drake and Rihanna were together for almost 10 years. The two have been dating since 2009 and have been in and out of a romance since then. During their relationship, the two were seen together at many events, and Drake gave Rihanna many compliments in interviews with well-known news sites.
Their friendship, on the other hand, burned as they got closer. As of now, the couple hasn’t said anything about why they broke up, but they both said nice things about each other afterward. The couple is thought to have split up in early 2018.
Kylie Jenner
There were rumors that Kylie and Drake were dating after the two were seen hanging out together a lot. The couple was said to have been sexually involved with each other, even though they were close family friends.
That being said, there was no proof that the two were dating.
Sophie Brussaux
Drake and Sophie were together for a short time. On the other hand, the two famous people have been related to their son Adonis. In 2018, Drake said in a song that he was a dad. The line “The Kid is Mine” proved what Brussaux said to be true.
It’s likely that they started dating in early 2017 and got pregnant after that. After arguing, though, they agreed to split up amicably so that one could take care of the child. So far, they have been able to raise Adonis together without any problems.
