Hey guys, it's Kel. In honor of two years of
significant lovers, we thought we'd unlock one of our Patreon
bonus episodes from the past from the vault when Drake met
Rihanna. This episode was recorded two
years ago in 2022, so anything that happened since then is not
mentioned, and I'm recording this summer 2024, but Drake and
Rihanna's story pretty much concluded before then.
Anyway, there is quite a lengthy tangent about Degrassi in the
beginning of this episode, but it's a really fun episode and I
hope you enjoy it. And thank you all for supporting
Significant Lovers for the past two years, and we'll see you
again soon with new episodes. Are your long time tonight?
Will you miss me tonight? Are you sorry?
We we're recording. Recording.
Hi, guys. Welcome to Significant Lovers.
We are your hosts. My name is Mel.
I'm Kel. And thank you so much for
joining us on the Patreon. We're really loose here.
Yes, yes. Except in the 1st 10 minutes
when the teaser is. There is a teaser, yes, my mom,
hey, mom has been very confused about the teasers to me and
frustrated about it. Yeah, I will say.
Some people, we did get a negative review, but the person
did rescind it. Thank you so much.
Yeah, sometimes, sometimes you change your mind about things.
And I really appreciate that The teaser is just a chance for
people to listen and contemplate subscribing.
And also we're gonna cover so many couples that some people
will discover us on Apple or on Spotify just searching episodes
and come across our podcast. So I know there's gonna be times
when people are like, oh, I want you to cover this.
Couple, yeah. If they're looking on Spotify,
they'll be able to see that we have an episode.
Yeah, on the Patreon. Just makes it easier to have
everything listed in one place. I agree.
Yeah. And I, I'm really proud of these
episodes. We do.
So yeah, I want them all to be seen, you know, in public.
In some ways, yeah, Yeah. But yeah, the, the Patreon
episodes, the bonus episodes, I don't know what is the pattern
for them. Like I feel like at first we
said they're maybe less, not as long relationships, but lately
I've been thinking about doing long relationships for the bonus
episodes. So you know I.
Feel like it's just a feeling. It's just a feeling, you know?
It's something makes more sense as a bonus episode.
Yeah. So, yeah, thanks for joining us.
It's your weekly dose of romance and breakups and love.
Stories. So who are we covering today?
Today we are covering Drake and Rihanna, the pop singer, R&B pop
singer, Rihanna, rapper Drake. Maybe some of you guys know
them. Did Drake and Rihanna date?
I'm not sure. I feel a little.
Yeah, this, this couple. Is confusing.
Yeah, I always felt like they contemplated dating and were
flirty and people wanted them to date, but it never totally
happened. Yeah, I know.
So that's what I'm trying to like figure out through this.
Like did they actually date? Was it just a thing?
Was there anything? Was there nothing?
Was it just PRI? Don't know, but it's funny
'cause like when you read articles and stuff some places
act like they did date and even in their Wikipedia's which I
know like in school they said not to use Wikipedia for your
sort of I. Always trust Wikipedia, but I
feel like Wikipedia. Is always pretty official, Like
if something is on Wikipedia it is legit, yeah.
Because I've been here, so many eyes on there.
Yeah, and on both of their pages it says they run an on and off
again relationship for several years.
I know. And whenever you look them up,
if they come up in like each other's dating history, it says
Drake was with Rihanna. Like I know some celebrity type
of magazines acted like they were 100% like official.
Some act like not really. It was before you came over
earlier today Googling, because I do think Drake and Rihanna
were probably not official. Yeah, but I was thinking, did
has Drake ever dated anybody? Officially, yeah, yeah, I don't
know because obviously he has a baby Mama, but I don't think
they were even dating. Yeah, I don't think so either.
And like. I feel like he had a flirty
thing with Nicki Minaj. He had something like that with
Jennifer Lopez too, apparently. He did?
Wow. I feel like he dated somebody on
Degrassi. Maybe we'll get into it.
Maybe. Well, Degrassi, but I don't
know. Actually, I don't know if he
dated someone from Degrassi. I feel like he.
Did date a cast member but I might be wrong.
Let us know guys. He can't commit, I know.
Or he can't. Like a down movie.
I don't which one is it because he has his persona, He called,
he says it, he acts like he's this like lover boy, like he
loves romance, he's sad, but he never seems to officially date
somebody. So I don't know what the deal
is. Maybe he's avoidant.
Maybe. So this couple is a little
different from the ones you've done so far.
But I just want to say, you know, even if they weren't
officially together, those relationships can still mean a
lot to people, right? Can't we all relate to that?
Like, it can be the most important person?
I think at least to one of them, this did mean a lot to them, and
it probably still does. And even though they weren't
official, it's still significant.
It is, and I think sometimes it's a disservice to yourself to
not count those relationships because they can have a big
impact. They can in your life.
They really can. So yeah, this, this episode's a
little lighter little fun, yeah. No, no.
Death in this episode, no divorce in this, Yeah, just a
little fun episode. But it is kind of like being a
detective or something, like they're trying to figure out
what happened. I'm excited, people, you know,
'cause you'll hear is like the timeline goes on.
Like sometimes you're like, Oh no, this wasn't a thing.
And then you hear something else and then it's confusing.
OK, hit me with that. OK, Oh wait, do you want to ask
me the question? Oh yeah.
Well, I was going to ask you why did you want to cover this
couple of kind of saying I. Was telling you on the train
that I wanted to do Rihanna. I just felt compelled.
I don't know actually really used to like her a lot back in
middle school. Like her good girl gone bad
days. I was really into her.
I would like, draw pictures of her with her asymmetrical
hairstyle. Yeah, yeah, short hairstyle.
I wanted to do Rihanna, but I don't know, guys.
I just she doesn't have the best taste in men in my opinion.
Yeah, Chris Brown. I don't know.
I didn't want to do no. Yeah, guys, that's the thing
about our podcast. We're not going to do couples
with abuse or like what if we what if?
We're halfway through the relationship and then we
realize. I know that I'm.
Like doing the research? I'm nervous about that.
But like, obviously Chris Brown and Rihanna, I don't ever want
to cover vibes. Yeah, you know, I don't want to
episode when Rihanna met Chris Brown with the cute little one,
Harry Met Sally Brown. That doesn't sit right with me.
And same with Amber Heard. And like Johnny Depp, we're not
going to cover those couples. Unsubscribe.
I wouldn't say never for Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, but I just
think it's been already talked about so much that I don't, I
don't know. Yeah, just.
Not that's true, but something like Rihanna and Chris Brown,
like no, yeah, not gonna happen. Chris Brown will come up today.
But then she also dated Travis Scott, which I'm not feeling him
lately, No. And she is now with A$AP Rocky,
which I don't know. I might, I probably don't know
all the details. And I used to think he was cool,
but he maybe was involved in a shooting that's pretty bad.
So I don't know. I didn't really want to so
raggy. And then she also has dated a
lot of like, businessmen, yeah, like billionaires, which could
be interesting, but I don't know, 'cause.
You know, stuffy. I don't know.
So I thought Rihanna and Drake was the most interesting.
I agree. Yeah.
I mean, I'm sure her and Chris Brown is in quotes.
Interesting, but bad vibes. Yeah, yes, yes.
So yeah, that's why I'm doing Rihanna and Drake.
And also, we used to be big Degrassi fans.
And if you didn't know, Drake used to be used to go by Aubrey
Graham. Aubrey's real.
Name and he played Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi, the Canadian teen
drama Whatever It Takes. I know I can make it through.
I love degrassi. If.
We have a review on Actually Apple Podcast from someone named
Degrassi Lover. That's cool.
We see you. We hear you, we hear.
You and we appreciate you. We love Degrassi too.
Yeah, let's talk about some Degrassi today.
I I missed that show. Me too.
Sometimes I think about rewatching it, but it would be a
huge endeavour to huge. I stopped after I think the
shark in the water season or a little bit after that boiling
point. The boiling point, yeah.
I watched after that but yeah isn't that crazy.
Degrassi at one point started doing episodes every.
Day that summer. That summer was like.
I know, it was so fun. Every single night there was a
new Degrassi episode. It's.
Such a sofa. Yeah.
Every day. No, but it was awesome, that
show, man. Yeah.
They cover everything that could happen to a team.
I know it's so hard to keep up with.
Like what storylines they've had.
I know and like the the character progression for every
single character in the show was so wild.
I know like. Claire, she's the most.
Wild even, is Claire. She was like a nerdy Yeah,
Darcy's sister, first of all, like Christian girl waiting till
marriage. Yeah, nerdy quiet dating KC.
And then with emo lover Eli. Yeah.
And then he like had all these issues and then she like gets
withdrew and then she gets cancer.
During. School and then she gets
pregnant like it was crazy. She was in high school.
No matter. Four years.
Everything happened even like Peter did crystal meth.
Oh my God, sorry like. Something was happening about
it, Like the first time you tried crystal meth, you got
addicted. Yeah.
And Jimmy did not have. Anything.
Yep, Yep, Yep. Aubrey Drake's character.
Yeah, Jimmy, he was a basketball star.
He was dating Ashley for a long time.
And the Hazel. Yeah, yeah.
Almost had sex with Ashley like in 8th grade but then they
decided not crazy. Yeah, that's so young, I know.
But yeah, he was a basketball player and he was like, pretty
popular, I say, yeah, I was a spinner.
Yeah, he had the most notable storyline, I think, in Olive
Degrassi. Yeah, he was like a star.
Yeah, he was shot. Yeah, in the school shooting and
then he was in a wheelchair, which was a whole storyline.
And he had a thing with Ellie. I forgot got.
That. Yeah.
Then he got back with Ashley. Ashley was a fucking bed.
She deleted his track. Oh yeah.
Because she was jealous. Yeah.
Like he was like getting successful with rap music.
Yeah, that was really bad. Because I forgot that Jimmy did
music on. Degrassi.
Yeah, well, like, because he couldn't do basketball anymore.
So sad, you know? Did he, what did he do?
Like he didn't end up with Ashley, right?
I can't remember. Like he ended up with like
another girl in a wheelchair. Maybe I don't remember, but they
didn't follow him when he like went to college.
Yeah. But they did follow some.
Characters. Yeah, well, 'cause Aubrey Graham
had a lot going on. Yeah, yeah, Dick has me.
But if I had to give this couple 3 words I would say unrequited,
sling and fun. OK, like I've been there before.
Yeah, OK, little backstories. I think most people know them,
but Aubrey Drake Graham, born October 24th, 1986.
So if he's 36 now, he's old. Well, cut that out.
Older than I thought. Yeah, he's older.
Yeah, 'cause we met him when he was a team.
I know he grew up. Fast, Yeah.
Grew up in Toronto and as we just said, he played Jimmy
Brooks on Degrassi The Next Generation.
His parents divorced when he was young, and he's raised by his
mother. But in the summers, he'd visit
his father, who was a drummer when he left Degrassi in 2008 to
focus on his music career. And he had some mixtapes and
music that had come out around that time.
And this is my I OK. I feel like I am one of the
first people to ever have listened to Drake's music
because of Degrassi. Yeah, because I was obsessed
with Degrassi. And I remember I used to listen
to the end podcast. Oh, yeah.
Which guys? This was a long time ago.
This was like, yeah, 2008. It wasn't even streamable.
I would download the episodes and put them on my iPod nano.
That is so crazy, I know. It was the first podcast I ever
heard of. And they would talk to the stars
on Degrassi. And I remember Aubrey Graham was
on it, and he was saying that he was trying to have a rap,
starting a rap career. I remember that, too.
Really. Yeah.
And I remember thinking, like, Oh my God, what?
Like this is stupid. He's never like, sorry.
I was. I don't know why I was being so
cynical as a 8th grader, but I was like, this isn't going to go
anywhere. And I remember it was the album,
it was called Drake, or at least it said Drake in big letters.
And he had a peacoat and he had fall leaves behind him.
And I don't know, I just didn't think he was going to go
anywhere. So it was crazy that it actually
blew up. Yeah, Is Drake his middle name?
It's his middle. Name Yeah, I think Aubrey is
still a pretty interesting name for a guy I like that name you
could have gone by just Aubrey as well.
I know Drake was confusing 'cause there was also Drake Bell
up there. I know he was really, you know,
he was with the teen community. I was trying to, I was looking
up articles from like 2013 and, you know, 2009.
And around that time it was kind of funny because I would search
Drake and Drake Bell related stuff is coming up.
Yeah. But he totally eclipsed Drake
Bell. Yeah, yeah, he he totally owns
the name Drake these days. Yeah.
So his big breakthrough hit was in 2009.
Best I ever had. Do you remember that?
Like, best time ever. OK, so then Rihanna, Robin.
Rihanna. Fenty.
My name is Robin. Yes.
Jeez, I didn't know that. I know and it's.
Very interesting that her and Drake both go by their middle
name. Yeah, and only their middle
name. That, yeah.
They're A1 name person, you know.
Forgot that her last name is even Fenty.
Yeah, that was just like randomly.
The beauty. Yeah, Robin Rihanna Fenty was
born February 20th, 1988, so she's 34 now in Saint Michael
Parish in Barbados. She grew up with her mother and
father, her Barbadian father and Guyanese mother.
She enjoyed singing. As a child, she won a high
school talent show singing Mariah Carey and she was in a
girl group. And in 2004, she created a demo
which caught the attention of Jay-Z and got her assigned to
Def Jam label. And her first hit was Pond to
Replay in 2005. I'm sure a lot of us remember
that. Really good song.
And she had so many hits since then, like SOS and Umbrella.
And I mean, it goes on. But that was like the time early
in her career. So apparently, Drake and Rihanna
first met in 2005. Oh, wow.
I know. According to Drake, he said this
in a speech that comes up later on.
But he said that they met when Rihanna was shooting the music
video for Panda Replay at a restaurant in Toronto and that
she was introduced to Drake. And he said he played background
music at the restaurant as people ate their dinner.
So I don't know. Maybe he's trying to be a DJ or
something. I don't know.
Yeah. Work at the restaurant.
I don't know, this is still during when he was on Degrassi
so I'm confused about that. But, and it's interesting
because the guy who was directing that video when he
apparently met Rihanna was Director X and he later on,
years later, directed Drake and Rihanna for her work music
video. Oh.
We were talking about that earlier.
So that was apparently when we first met.
But their first so-called date was May 2009.
This was on Page Six. That can be kind of gossiping.
Don't know if it's true, but you reported that Drake and Rihanna
were spotted at Lucky Strike in New York City.
Wow, everybody goes to Lucky Strike.
And sources told the outlet that Rihanna was making out with him
online. And then there's this other
story. It says Rihanna is officially
over. Chris Brown.
The Barbadian beauty showed up with a group of friends Monday
at Lucky Strike Lanes and Lounge on West for 2nd Street, but
spent most of the night locking lips with Canadian former child
actor turned rapper Aubrey Drake Graham.
She was drinking whiskey and apple juice and making out with
him all night, says a spy. They were really apple juice.
I know that sounds kind of good. They were really cute together.
And then apparently she left like Lucky Straight that night
with Drake at midnight. Wow.
I don't know. OK, something obviously is
happening. Yeah, but when was that?
May. So I think around this time,
yeah. So his song comes out.
He's becoming way more famous. Whatever.
She was on a radio show, Andy Martinez's radio show, to talk
about Chris Brown and Angie. Martinez brings up Drake and
asks if they were dating, and Rihanna shuts it down and says
she likes hot older men and insists that her and Drake were
still friends, and Martinez continues to ask her about it.
But Rihanna's like, no, it's kind of funny.
It's like I like hot older men. I mean, he is 2 years older,
yeah. Does she not think he's hot?
I don't know. So Rihanna basically said
nothing's going on. But June 2010, he has his song
Fireworks, which I played for you and earlier.
That was on his album Think Me Later.
And there's this lyric in it that says I could tell it wasn't
love. I just thought you'd fuck with
me. Who could have predicted Lucky
Strike would have you stuck with me?
Damn, I kept my wits about me. Luckily, what happened between
us that night it always seems to trouble me.
That's so funny because we know that they went there together.
That's so funny because Lucky Strike is like a chain.
I know. OK, I'm like, is this just for
PR And like it seems a little Taylor Swift of him.
I know. But then again, I don't know if
people were like analyzing the lyric like I didn't know.
No, I I had no. Idea that they had gone to Lucky
Strike together, but it's weird because it's like, is that your
only interaction? With each other, I know.
Like, or is that just like all we know?
And so you're playing into like, what people might know about me.
Too. I don't know.
Interesting. Interesting.
So that same month, in an interview at The New York Times,
Drake said he felt used by Rihanna.
What? He said I was a pawn.
You know what she was doing to me?
She was doing exactly what I've done to so many women throughout
my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear.
I was like, wow, this feels terrible.
But then he addressed this interview later on, again in the
interview with MTV News because he didn't want to come off
negative. I'm sorry Drake cracks me up
like I'm. Relating to him.
He said. I'm at the greatest place in my
life. I'm on top of the world.
I'm extremely confident, so it's very rare that anybody, let
alone a woman that I like, makes me feel nervous or makes me feel
small, he said, adding that Rihanna is an overwhelming an
incredible person. Overwhelming an incredible
person? What?
So he said. A woman that I like.
Yeah, so he definitely likes. He definitely got a little
crush. Yeah.
Who doesn't though? I feel like she's someone who
would be just impossible if she's your friend to not have a
crush on her. She is so cool, just so
confident. And I just gotta say, don't you
get the impression that Rihanna is just so badass?
Yeah. And tough and cool.
Yeah, she's like the most beautiful, perfect person.
And it's really awesome when you think about everything that
happened with Chris Brown to realize, like, wow, she is
actually, like, so badass. Yeah.
You know, like she really. I don't know, somehow got
through that and stayed true to herself.
Obviously, we don't know her. Yeah, exactly.
We don't know these people. We don't know what happened at
Lucky Strike, but she just seems so glad.
She's awesome. But so even if she said there
was nothing going on, I don't know.
They put their differences aside or whatever and they both I
guess I should say Drake was featured on her song What's my
name? What's my name?
Do you remember his part where
he's he's like sqrt 69 eight something right?
So I'm trying to figure it out. I.
Forgot about that. Say my name, say my name, wear
it out. Yeah, this 2010.
I was in high school at this point.
Guys, this is like, you know, music that would play at my
dances. And stuff.
What's My Name was on number one number one song, and in the
video Rihanna and Drake are like being all flirted on each other.
Romantic. Yeah, but then again, that
doesn't mean anything because it's a good video.
That was very tougher. Drake, when he liked her, has
feelings for her now. So what's my name?
February 2011? What's My Name is still the top
of the charts. They perform the song together
at the Grammys. And she was, like, seductively
dancing on him when she sang. Not everybody knows how to work.
My body knows how to make me bonnet.
But, boy, you stay up on it. But again, that doesn't really
mean anything. Yeah.
And they did it again at the MBA All Star Game.
That's my name. He wants to love Steamy.
Performance. Yeah, I know.
But then, so this is kind of in February 2011.
Now it's June 2011, kind of a few months.
I don't know what's going on in between, but Drake and Rihanna
were spotted at a nightclub in Montreal looking really close,
His arm around her and her faces are really close together.
Do you want to see the picture? Yeah.
Oh, they don't really. That's.
When she had her red hair, yeah, I don't know.
That could be something that friends just do, could be just.
Friends I don't know. Doesn't, and it could be just a
moment in time. Yeah, yeah.
So October 2011, Drake opened up to Elle magazine.
Why? I don't know.
This seems random about fireworks and he said about
Rihanna and the inspiration supposedly and he said at the
time it hurt but she didn't mean to.
I'll never put her on that. I was hurt because I started to
slowly realize what it was. I guess I thought it was more
that this was the 1st girl with any fame that paid me any mind.
You spend days reading about this person in the magazines,
all of a sudden you have this number one song and you're at
some birthday party and there she is and you're just some
naive kid from Toronto staying in some shitty ass hotel who got
invited to this party on a whim. That's just how it happened.
Wow, he's really opening up. You know, if I was a celebrity
it would be dangerous. I would accidentally like start
like running my mouth about like the person I have feelings for
or something. I wonder what I would do if I
was called or like I was out to lunch with a journalist or
something and they asked me like, tell me about your like, I
don't know. Oh my God, I was still
everywhere. Like what would I say?
It would take a lot, especially if you had a lot on your mind
that. Day.
Yeah, like let's say you ordered a drink or something at lunch.
I would just let it all out. I.
Know that's interesting. So a month after that they did
the song Take Care together. I don't know if you remember
that song, but I'll take care. Wait, Actually, maybe I'll play
it right now just so you can hear it.
Sounds familiar? That's supposed to be about.
So what did Whistler? He said like you don't say you
love me to your friends when they ask, but we both know you
do. Interesting.
I don't know, could be he does have.
Kind of a sexy voice on there. He does not bad.
Yeah, he can sing and rap. I was wondering because I
haven't really been paying attention to like really popular
music lately, is it still a thing for like a girl to sing a
song and then one verse is a rapper 'cause that was so I know
at this time like Tony 11. I don't know, like Taylor Swift
hasn't done it in a hot sock. A lot of people did that, yeah.
So basically like a female singer.
Yeah. And then a rapper comes in.
Randomly and. Then he's gone.
Yeah. Yeah, that.
That's what Drake and Rihanna did a lot of.
Yeah. So they do this song together.
And in the video, they're, like, hugging and caressing.
But again, doesn't necessarily mean anything.
So then 2012, it was reported that Drake and Chris Brown got
in a fight. Are you serious?
Yeah. At an NYC nightclub.
And apparently they began yelling at each other and a
bottle was thrown. But later, Drake denied being
involved in it. But I think he was.
Is that the WIP club? And apparently Chris Brown,
Rihanna's ex, sent Drake a bottle of champagne and Drake
rejected it to apologize. I guess.
I don't know, it was like a peace offering or something.
Wow. And then a fight started between
them. Oh, the champagne was before the
fight. Yeah, so sorry, this is what
happened. Chris Brown sent Drake evolved
champagne. Drake said.
Like. No, no I don't.
Yeah, yeah. Then I'm guessing Chris Brown
was insulted or something and they started getting in a fight
and people they were with got involved and got injured.
Oh no, I know. Chris Brown is so hostile.
You know what be. Mature.
He doesn't want the champagne. Is that why he just buys
champagne and poppy? I don't know.
That is interesting. Yeah.
I mean, he doesn't want to talk to you, dude.
I wonder if they both just happen to be at the club the
same night. Probably.
Maybe he's like, oh, Drake's here.
Oh, he's involved with my accent.
I'll. Send him a champagne, be mature.
Sure, and I don't really have any problem with him.
Oh, he doesn't want. The champagne.
But that guy I know later on to GQ, Drake talked about this, and
he said two rappers fighting over a woman.
He's not even a rapper, but still.
Oh, my God, It's the last way. You want your name out there?
It distracts from the music. But he's made me the enemy, and
that's the way it's gonna stay, I guess.
Oh. My God, he's not even a rapper.
Yeah. I love how Drake keeps opening
up. I know, I really.
Not magazine. Rihanna doesn't really
apparently though. So when was this?
This was June. Then we have the a couple months
later, September 2012 MTVVMAS. We used to watch these kind of
things a lot for Rob and Kristen, but Drake won an award
for Best Hip Hop video and everyone raptted and clapping
and applause and apparently Rihanna didn't clap.
And apparently she was whispering something to her
friend at the time. That's very telling, I know.
That's. Interesting.
And this, apparently, is when Rihanna and Chris Brown were
back together. Oh, OK, Yeah, I'm nodding my
head. So obviously there was some type
of something went down between Rihanna and Drake, probably when
she got back together with Chris, yeah.
And maybe Chris was in Rihanna ear.
Yeah. Bad mouthing Drake.
Yeah, like I saw him Champagne. Yeah.
He sent it back. I understand like because toxic
relationships are hard to get out of but I I hate that Rihanna
and Chris Brown even got back together after that it.
Was shocking. I remember when that happened
actually being like, wait, what? Yeah.
You know, we were all like on your side.
I know. I mean, it's just really sad
because I think like that's the case for a lot of toxic
relationships. They're so hard to leave and
like, she really didn't love him.
So it's like sad that like she had to make this decision to
like leave him, but remember she said something like if I go back
to him, like then other people are going to go back to like
their abusive partners. But that's a lot to put on her
as well. So I feel so bad for her.
I. Know.
I don't think they were that back together for that long.
Chris Brown and Drake's drama didn't really die down.
And Drake was asked about this with Elliot Wilson on the Keep
It Thorough podcast and he said that his issues with Chris Brown
were I could play the audio, but I might just, I might just quote
it and say he said the woman he loves fell into my life.
Life or lap life seems weird. Fell into my life.
Wait, maybe I will play this. A lot of times, like, you know,
I know Chris Brown's went around doing press and like your name
comes up and then it's just like how much of it is about the
person out there doing press and how much they're being baited
and to talk about other people. I know I just, that's part of
the process that you don't like, right?
I just feel like, man, like just just like for the media and like
for any media outlet that listens to this interview, like
don't ask me shit about that man when I come up there, you know
what I mean? Like, and leave that man alone,
you know, stop praying on his insecurities, man, because, you
know, his insecurities are the fact that I make better music
than him, that I'm more popping than him and that at one point
in life, you know what I'm saying, the woman that he loves
fell into my lap. I did what a real would do and
treated her with respect. So she doesn't, she's not up
there talking down on me, you know what I'm saying?
And all those things combined, you know, create an individual
that comes up to your radio station and, and and it's just
going to, you know, do dumb shit.
But it's like, it shouldn't be about tearing that man down.
It shouldn't be about wanting to see me and him tear each other
down like we have an issue and it's either going to drag out or
or maybe in 10 years we'll laugh about it over drinks but just
let us solve that shit. Oh my God, that's so funny.
So at the end of this interview, I actually like listen to it a
couple times to really like catch what was said.
But Elliot Wilson says we don't need no situation, Drake says,
or that girl. And Elliot says all respect to
her. Drake says.
I guess I just said I'm not thinking about either of them.
Oh, so he's heartbroken. Yeah.
But that's so funny, though. He's like, you know, leave Chris
alone. Like he's so insecure because he
makes terrible music. The stupid projects that he's
working on. I'm so much better than him.
Just leave him alone because he's a fucking pathetic loser.
Yeah, don't prey on his insecurities.
It's true. I mean, maybe some people do
like him, but who does want to hear him rap?
No, I know. No, some people do still really
love him. When I was a senior in high
school I did a hip hop and my final hip hop dance was a
tribute to Crystal. This is 2014.
I thought it was weird. Contribute.
Yeah, I still remember, like, in college, my boyfriend at the
time, his roommates were from Ireland, and I remember I asked
them what kind of music they liked, and they're like, Chris
Brown. I was like, oh, cool.
I just can't. Yeah.
And it's sad. Like, I remember we all really
liked his songs back in the day. Like don't forget.
With you. Oh yeah, I need you, Boo.
I see you, Boo. And there's hearts.
All over the world tonight, and there's hearts all over the
world tonight. Yeah, But I do think that, like,
Chris Brown before that happened, had a reputation for
being like such a nice guy. Like I just like, yeah, he did
such a gentleman, such a cutie. So I mean, he just really.
But also, I do think that the whole incident with Rihanna,
it's so heinous, I really can't forgive it.
Yeah. But I mean, if he really, really
worked on himself and, like, had a huge redemption, like, maybe I
would see it. But I feel like he's still
continued to be a huge Dick after that.
I know, I know. I think so too.
So September 2013, Drake was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
She's playing a game with him where she projected images of
girls he's been involved with. Yeah.
And he has to basically say what the deal is.
In the first picture was Rihanna, and he said, yeah,
great girl. We had our moment.
I'll always support and have love for her.
They've obviously slept together.
That's what I think, right? Come on.
Guns on my head, they've slept. Together.
Yeah. I I was gonna ask you, gun to
your head, have they slept together?
A. 100%. More than once, yeah.
Yeah, at least five now four times.
Yeah, at least four. But I thought it was so funny at
the end of this video. Maybe I'll play it for you
'cause it's just so funny. He says he's single and ready to
bring gone. Wait, I'll play it.
Are you dating anybody now? I'm not.
I'm single, really. I'm ready to mingle a lot of
people. The album's done.
I got free time. Well, not really.
I'm going to go on tour, but I have a couple months after that,
you know? So I'm, no, I'm not dating
anybody. I'm, I'm just, I'm open to OK.
Well. I'm open to so funny like.
I got some free time coming up, so I mean, I'm going on tour for
the next couple months if anyone's interested.
That's so cute. Like, cracked me up.
I think, what the heck? What celebrity does that?
It's like, yeah, I'm single. Like announcing.
Yeah, let me know. I'm open to it.
He kind of reminds me of people that like my brother Kevin is
friends with from like high school really.
Yeah. What does that mean?
I don't know, I just feel like he's the same vibe.
Cool, cool. February 2014.
This is a long time later, kind of like a year later.
Some months later, he talks to Rolling Stone and he's talks
about Rihanna again and says she's the ultimate fantasy.
I mean, I think about it like, man, that would be good.
We have fun together and she's cool and shit, but we're just
friends. That's my dog for life.
Wow that must be tough for him that he has a huge crush on her
and if they have slept together like that must.
Have been like insane. I know.
I do wonder though. Like he must be hooking up with
other people. Probably, you know, we.
Don't know the whole story. Yeah, what if he?
What if there's a reason Rihanna doesn't want to be?
There obviously probably is. But then again, I do think she
likes bad boys. I know.
Is he too nice? I don't.
Know maybe, I don't know. I mean, Drake isn't totally
innocent there. No, he's definitely not
problematic things about. It so that's why I wonder like
is it really like oh, Drake or was he being a fuck boy?
Yeah, I don't know, 2014 there were rumors that Drake and Round
were back on. He said he doesn't do do overs.
Yeah, I don't know. Apparently Rihanna is an
exception, despite her always saying they're just friends.
They were seen in London holding hands.
I'm a picture here. They're like in a car together.
That's intimate. Yeah, they were doing that.
They spent a lot of time together in Europe.
They went to Zook Restaurant and Bar in Manchester, England, and
stayed till 3:00 AM apparently. And then they went bowling at
All Star Lanes. They like bowling.
Like, wasn't the bowling? I don't know.
Yeah. When they went to Lucky Strike
did they do like the arcade part of it or did they do the bowling
part? Of it, I don't know, I guess I
assumed bowling part. But after this hand holding
European hangout thing. Rihanna denied ever dating Drake
to Vanity Fair and said her last official boyfriend was Chris
Brown. OK, not official.
So yeah. And then in 2015 they were
mentioned being associated with other people, like he was linked
to Serena Williams and she was associated with Leonardo
DiCaprio and Travis Scott. I know, but I don't think like
she actually dated Leo. I don't really know what
happened seems. Like she'd probably be too old
for him at this point, right? What?
She would be too old for him? Rihanna.
Well he only dates like 25. Years.
OK, I didn't get what you were saying.
I was like, wait, no, no, no, no.
The 2016. They have their song work
together and their dancing and videos together and such
performances. He showed up at her show in
Manchester, England, and during the concert, he addressed the
crowd about his feelings for Rihanna.
And he said, shout out to the most beautiful, talented woman
I've ever seen. She goes by the name of Rihanna.
I'm getting my heart broken. Oh my God, Drake cards on the
floor. Right.
Now. She just doesn't care.
I don't really get the dynamic. Like, how do I hang out if he's
saying stuff like this? I just don't get it.
Yeah, I don't know. I bet they have understanding.
That's just casual or just friends or well, it seems like.
I don't know they. Have an understanding, but he
forgets. It, yeah, they have an
understanding, but then publicly he's like, she's my dream girl.
Yeah, I don't. Get it?
Do you think? Behind closed doors?
Like he still wants more? Like if she said yes, we'll
date. He'd date her I.
The ink I that's just from what I'm picking up.
I mean I don't know everything but I would assume they do the
song too good for you for Drakes album and some of the lyrics
kind of sound like their relationship.
I mean, it could be a coincidence, but it's like, do
you remember the songs? Like I'm too good for you, I'm
way too good for you. You'd take my love for granted.
I just don't understand it. Oh, that's telling, yeah.
But yeah, I guess they want us to think that they have that
dynamic in real life to sell the music.
Maybe could be could be just PR then July 2016.
This could be just promotional and fake, but you know, it's one
of those things where a source confirmed to E that Drake and
Rihanna were back on. He still loves her and never
stopped. They're having fun spending time
with each other. The music got them close again.
I don't know, but apparently they were seen leaving the Tape
nightclub in London around this time and Oh my God, I went to
Tape in 2016. No way.
Yeah, in 2016, yeah. Wow, You could have seen them
there. Seen them there.
I didn't but that place is crazy.
They have like this air blowing on people and girls in like
little school dress outfits, dancing and.
I was a celebrity, I wouldn't really want to go to a
nightclub. I know.
I wouldn't want so many other people around.
Me, I'd be nervous. I'm not into nightclubs
personally but they did have a SEC like at tape they had those
areas. Like IP?
VIP yeah, like bottle service people were getting like, Oh my
God, they were getting champagne, you know, with like
the sparklers and stuff and the champagne.
Some of the bottles cost like probably $1000 or something.
That's. Crazy.
You know, it was really bougie place.
I remember the cheapest drink. I don't think I drink anything
because I think the cheapest drink was like $17.00 wow or 17
lbs, which especially then was like a lot of money.
Yeah, when you're in college, yeah.
Also, my friends and I went way too early.
Like. Stupid Americans.
We were there at like 10, which seems reasonable.
Yeah, seems reasonable. But nobody was there until like
midnight. Sleepy at 10.
Yeah, so Rihanna was torn around Europe, but she did hop on a
plane over the weekend to go to Drake's Ovo music festival in
Toronto, which some people took to mean that, like, I don't
know, she really cares about him or something that she would
leave her toward to go do that. But I don't know.
And Ovo is October's very own, which is his record label with
the producer 40 and Oliver El Khadib.
So I didn't know that, but some people might know that same
month ahead of the MTV Movie Awards, Rihanna was being
awarded the Video Vanguard Award, which I think is like
kind of a lifetime achievement type of award for this show
doesn't. Seems too young for.
That but Drake made a bill, took out a billboard to congratulate
her and in cursive it said congratulations to Rihanna from
Drake and everyone at Ovo. And she posted an image of the
Billboard on Instagram and said when he extra heart question
mark, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation
point. Wow that's a lot to unpack.
I like when he extra. I feel like by Postman, she's
kind of confirming that they're yeah and.
There's a heart. Or maybe she feels obligated to
post. Maybe.
That's quite extra. Honestly, I would get the egg if
someone did that for me. I know it's sweet, it's a great
gesture, but if someone was chasing me, posting a billboard
is like buying a billboard. And for me, it's just gonna kind
of honestly gross me out. I mean, if you loved the guy.
And by dating, I think it would be.
Cute, but if you were kind of like already rejecting him.
Yeah, if I was already in the upper hand, that's not gonna do
it. He's gotta ignore me.
Oh, no. Yeah.
So at the award show, he presented it to her, and he
really went on and on about how much he likes her.
And here, here it is. The first time, the first time I
met Robin Fenty, it was 2005. She was shooting a music video
at a restaurant called Avocado in Toronto.
The song was Panda Replay, and the director and the director of
the video was Little. XI was introduced to her as a
kid who played background music at the restaurant as people ate
their dinner. It's hard to believe that eleven
years later, all three of us would come together to create
the visual for a song called Work.
Today the world knows little X as Director X.
They know me as Drake and not the kids singing while you order
pasta. But eleven years later, they
still all know Rihanna as the one and only Rihanna.
Captivating from day one. The iconic being that is.
Rihanna was already at a place where most artists only dream of
going. For them, that's often the peak.
But for her, that was a starting point, and she has kept
ascending to an untouchable level ever since.
When it comes to music, she relentlessly takes over the
charts with every release. When it comes to performance,
they swarm in masses just to be in her presence.
Obviously. And when it comes to fashion and
style, she makes it seem so effortless.
Unless until you try and do it yourself, which is when it gets,
which is when it gets, it gets a little awkward.
What's most impressive isn't the endless list of stats, awards,
and accomplishments. What's most impressive is the
person. Some artists need to play a
character to achieve success. Some need to downplay their own
natural instincts to blend in. She succeeds by doing something
that no one in this music industry does, which is being
herself. This woman has surpassed all
competition while still being the same girl from Barbados,
surrounded by the same friends, speaking with the same accent
and and never missing a crop over.
Unless it's to come perform at Obo Fest, which we appreciate.
We love the music, which can change styles from album to
album. We love the videos which change
their artistic vision from year to year.
But most of all, we love the woman who hasn't changed since
day one. She's someone.
She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old.
She's one of my she's one of my best friends in the world.
All my adult life, I've looked up to her, even though she's
younger than me. She's a living, breathing legend
in our industry. Ladies and gentlemen, the
recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016.
Rihanna. OK, the way he paused right
before he said She's someone I've been in love with, he was
contemplating. Should I?
Say this, It kind of seems like that.
He was nervous. Yeah.
So which makes me think he really does love.
Her and then he like did you see one to kiss her?
But she kind of like, dodged it. Yeah, I think he got a little
carried away with the audience class.
And he's like, you know, but honestly, it's like it's not
about him. Yeah, it's her moment.
Yeah. And so like, I feel like him
trying to kiss her is going too far.
Yeah. But that must be really hard to
even give that speech. Like, I don't know if are are
they, like, hooking up at this point?
I don't know. But like if she's rejecting you
and then you're like. Reportedly, yeah, This summer
they were like, back together. OK, that makes sense.
Yeah. Yeah.
She's like rolling her eyes, like she's not really like
super. Yeah.
Maybe she's just uncomfortable or some I don't.
Maybe she doesn't want to put it all out there.
I don't really know what it is. She really is the one and only
Rihanna, you know, like she is I, I want to have more of that
confidence in my life. You know, me too.
I like effortlessness. Yeah.
And I feel that I don't really have, like, clips of her talking
about it. But she didn't really talk about
it besides that time she said they were just friends.
Yeah. At least on, like, video.
He. Is wearing his heart on his
sleeve. Yeah, that's a night.
Drake posted a picture of them together and it looks very
couple like. Yeah, he's like kissing her
cheek. Yeah, it's from down below.
And yeah, he's like kissing her face.
And it just looks like something a couple would do.
I don't know. Yeah.
He's really. I know.
So this is still summer 2016, same month August.
That's the end of August. August 31st, there was continued
speculation about their relationship.
Oh performance for Drake's Summer 16 tour in Miami.
They kissed on stage. And I know that's like, yeah,
just could be for the show, but it's interesting.
I mean, it's short, but it is like, on the lips.
Yeah, that. You don't do that with just
anybody. Yeah.
So it was during the song just. During the song.
OK. Yeah, it could go either way
with that one, yeah. I mean, I can maybe I'll show
you. Is that it?
Oh, yeah. It's very short.
It's very short kind. Of converse the kiss into a.
Yeah, yeah. So it tells me she's not really.
Feeling it, I know. She, I think she loves and
appreciates him, but she's not like into him.
Yeah, it seems that way. Physically.
And then later they were seen in the crowd.
They are like close together. He looks so happy.
He's smiling ear to ear. She's whispering in his ear.
And then there's another picture of him, like holding her face
and whispering in her ear, I guess.
I don't know. They're clearly close.
But yeah, she seems a little uncomfortable.
And September 2016, I think this was going on during the summer.
But articles that things came out noticing that they had
matching tattoos. It's true.
They both had like a shark tattoo.
They looked exactly the same like the design that's
confusing. But then in October these rumor
that is either over like an open relationship or something.
I don't know. But this is like when people say
they broke up October 2016 and Rihanna shared a photo with the
caption that read none of my exes are married or in happy
relationships so it's safe to say I wasn't the problem lol.
I don't know. And that same month, Rihanna
supposedly unfollowed Drake on Instagram.
That means a lot. Which?
Is like the modern way of saying something's over, you know?
Yeah. Did he still?
Follow her. He kept following her.
Yep. OK, well that makes me think
that he did something wrong. I.
Know. Because if she didn't want to
see him, yeah, then she was hurt by him, yeah.
Probably. I know, that's why.
He wouldn't leave her alone. Yeah, maybe it could be that
too. Maybe she was like, it's over
and she just didn't want to see him anymore.
I don't know. I don't know if we can totally
just be like, oh, poor Drake, Like maybe he did something.
Yeah, I don't trust him fully. Yeah.
So a couple months after that, at a concert, Drake said he's
performing. And he said it's somebody's
birthday today, somebody I have a lot of love for and a lot of
respect for. And then he said, so instead of
singing Happy Birthday, though, we're just going to do this in
Dublin. Instead of singing Happy
Birthday, we're just going to set it off like this.
And he did their song work, but without Rihanna, obviously.
So it's Rihanna's birthday I'm guessing?
Yeah, it was Rihanna's birthday. Yeah, he's kind of.
Playing into it, I know by saying that at a concert and
then he wants to press for it. He is he is.
April 2017. The romance between Drake and
Rihanna was seemingly died down so much that it was like awkward
to be together because they were at a kids birthday party
together. And there's a video of it where
like Rihanna's playing with the kids and he's kind of like in
the corner. I don't know, it's really
awkward. I'm not sure.
Just somebody's birthday party. And then later in 2017, this is
when Drake had a child with model slash painter Sophie
Brousseau. Apparently, Drake had only met
Sophie two times before this. So that was definitely like a
hookup. Yeah.
You know, there was, like, a lot of drama about this.
I mean it really has nothing to do with Rihanna but first he
like didn't really acknowledge his son.
Yeah and Pusha T had a diss track about it.
But then he did acknowledge his son publicly and it seems like
he is in the kids life today. But him and Sophie were never
really in a relationship. Yeah, it does seem like, based
on his Instagram, that he does spend a lot of time with the
son. Yeah, it does.
It does. Yeah.
And so this would have been like a year after it was supposedly
over with Rihanna. So I don't think it had anything
to do with that. But now they're just, like, in
different places, I would say. Yeah.
Wasn't she dating like a billionaire around this time?
Yeah, Yeah, she was. And then this is the same year
that Drake was apparently friends with Millie and Bobby
Brown, who was 18 years younger than him.
Yeah. And this has nothing to do with
ground into, but I mean, it's just interesting and really,
Bobby Brown said. I love him.
He's honestly a great friend and a great role model.
You know, we text, we just texted each other the other day
and he was like, I miss you so much.
And I was like, I miss you more. OK, that is weird.
I know. That is weird because I was
going to give Drake the benefit of the doubt about this
friendship and be like, OK, he was a child actor, maybe.
Yeah, to be like a mentor. I know, but I miss.
You, I miss you is creepy. I know.
Don't do that, Drake. I know what the.
Fuck, I don't know. Yeah.
Was Drake always kind of shady like this, or did he become more
shady? May 2018, Rihanna, you know,
she's been in different relationships and stuff, was
asked about Drake in an interview with Vogue, and she
said wading through that speech. So the one where he says they've
been in love with her? Yeah, We didn't see that speech
was probably the most uncomfortable part.
I don't like too many compliments.
I don't like to be put on blast. And she was asked about the
status of their friendship and she said we don't have a
friendship now, but we're not friend.
We're not enemies either. It is what it is.
And after this interview came out, Drake unfollowed Rihanna on
Instagram. Wow, I love that people know
that I. Know.
Yeah. So something happened.
Yeah. I don't know.
I don't like that she called the speech uncomfortable.
I know that. Like, sometimes it can be.
But yeah, I don't think she should say that.
I know. Actually, you know what?
I could see it though. Actually, I don't know, 2021,
June 2021, It appeared that Rihanna had covered up the shark
tattoo that matched Drake's. It's like above her foot is on
her ankle. Yeah, it used to be a shark.
And now I can't really tell what it is, but it almost looks like
a skyline or, I don't know, it's like some kind of shape.
She turned. It into.
I don't know. So it's definitely over.
Yeah. And I mean, they still got asked
about it in 2021. He talked about her on the talk
show The Shop. And he said is life takes shape
and teaches you your own lessons.
I end up in this situation where I don't have the fairy tale of
Drake started a family with Rihanna.
It's so perfect. It looks so good on paper.
And I wanted it to at one time. He wanted it badly.
I can't. Believe he would say that.
I know. Like what?
Why is he? I mean, I could say he's saying
it to your friends, but saying it to the whole world, Rachel,
Why? Why?
He really can't filter himself. I don't know but.
In a way, I commend him for it. Yeah, me too, maybe.
He just had a lot of love in his heart.
Honestly, maybe, maybe that's a whole Millie Bobby Brown's like
so innocent that he just. Has a lot.
Of I don't like it because I'm not saying I like it, but maybe
he's just like it says, I don't know.
Yeah. It's very complimentary.
Maybe it's getting dark in here. So February 2022, Rihanna
announced her pregnancy with A$AP Rocky and Drake unfollowed
him. Oh my God, so he's still torn
off about this? He's upset, he's upset and.
I'm upset. I'm upset.
Yeah. What is that?
Song. Yeah, it is by him.
Good job, Mel. What is that about?
That's a good question. I'm upset.
Song by Drake when it come out. Ohh 2018 OK.
Well, that could have been about that.
What? Was going on around then.
Ohh. That's when she said the speech
was uncomfortable. Yeah.
And he unfollowed her. That could be it.
I mean, we have to assume that, yeah, we have all these public
stories and interviews and stuff, but there's all this
stuff going on, yeah, in the background that we don't know.
Yeah, I tend to think that he probably did something that made
her be like, no, I'm not gonna be with you.
Yeah. And he can't accept that.
Yeah, probably. I know.
So recently, Rihanna has given birth to his son.
I don't think the world knows his name yet, but she's a mom
now and he's a dad now, I guess. And they're just, we're moved on
in different places. And that's basically it.
That's the story of Drake and Rihanna.
Wow. Yeah.
Yeah, I think that they definitely have.
I'm going to raise the number from four, I think like at least
11 times. Yeah, because I forgot there.
Then there was later on more stuff going on in the tattoo and
yeah. And I think that he, but you
know what, maybe he came on too strong maybe as well, and that
kind of turned her off. Yeah, I do think there was
something there. I don't think it's like totally
made-up. I don't think so.
But I don't think they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
No, I think he wanted to be. Yeah, I think she thought about
it. Yeah, maybe she said yes for a
couple days. Yeah.
Yeah, sometimes I haven't. I think that he probably meant a
lot to her, and obviously she meant a lot to him, but I don't
think she wanted to be, you know, serious with him.
And a lot of this stuff, too, was kind of like in the
aftermath of Chris Brown and whatever.
And I don't know if you can understand like this guy's
coming on so strong. Yeah, I feel like that could
actually be kind of scary. Yeah.
You worry about possessiveness of somebody and so.
We don't know. Yeah.
Only a drinking Rihanna. Really.
No. Only we could be a family on the
wall. I know.
But in a way, it feels unfinished.
It does feel unfinished. I know, right?
Like there's more that could happen, I know.
What the heck? I mean, I don't know, like how
her relationship with A$AP Rocky is, so I don't want to like diss
that. It doesn't seem great, yeah,
based off little things that I've heard about it.
So what do we think is the likelihood that they can get
back together? I think they'll try again,
probably 60% honestly, that's my highest rating.
I would. I could see that too.
I think they will. Maybe they'll say 50.
Speaking from experience, some of those unofficial
relationships are really hard to break because if they're, if
they never like get to the point of being official, it feels like
they never really ended. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whereas when you have a real relationship where you're
officially together and the whole world knows it, and then
you break up like that's you broke up like it's over if it
never really took off in the 1st place and it.
Yeah, they're always like, in the back of their minds,
probably in the shadows, You know, she's dating someone else,
but Drake's still into her. He's like, OK, he.
Obviously still really has feelings for her if he can't
handle but honestly this hypocritical of him to unfollow
him. A$AP Rocky, like you, had
another kid too. Yeah, but maybe him.
And can I call him Rocky? I don't know, maybe they, like
hung out. I don't really know.
I don't know a ton about his personal life.
Like maybe he kind of considered him a friend or something.
Yeah. And then was like.
I thought Rihanna doesn't even remember meeting him in 2005 at
that restaurant. Also, I could see that he was.
Worked on the TV show. I know we had a like good income
from that. I don't know why he was trying
to act like I was just a kid playing music while people ate
their pasta like you're on Degrassi.
Yeah, you're pretty famous for a Canadian.
Yeah, I don't get it. I don't get.
It I think those Degrassi kids, like kind of had regular lives.
So like, I think they still went to regular school, if I'm not
mistaken. Yeah.
But it's like, where did you get the time to also work in a
restaurant? I don't know.
I don't know if I don't think he worked at the restaurant.
I think he like did music at the restaurant.
Oh, OK, He's making it sound like he's just like playing
music in the background. Just some kid.
Yeah, Come on. He's definitely a Toronto
celebrity. Yeah, definitely.
I did. Another Canadian.
What the heck? Yeah, true.
I wanted to ask you just as a fun thing, since I feel like we
have time. Yeah, we have time.
What's the most random couples we could possibly do?
Oh. Random couple Carrie Underwood
and Chase Crawford. They dated.
They dated like a year or something.
No way. Ryan Seacrest and Julian, I
would do it. I was saying to you, I already
said this to you. So like recycling, but like,
it'd be so weird to do like Jeff Bezos.
Yeah. Damonda gains.
Yeah, yeah. Or like.
Like Bill Gates, man. That like I was saying, like
like Randy Jackson and his wife, he's married.
I don't even know. Who he is?
Like the voice of SpongeBob. Oh my God that's very random.
Play Aiken and. I think he's been single.
Oh, he's never been on. Like no maybe.
He has but. Everyone has some story, right?
Yeah, I'm sure you have because I know you.
But like, I've been so invested in some couples that are so
random. Oh yeah, you.
Know like not even famous. Whatsoever.
Yeah. Well, it's really people from
real life. Oh yeah.
Well, and busted in. I think it'd be so funny to
cover people from real life that nobody would care.
I was thinking like if anybody knows any really like beautiful
or awesome or just interesting love stories from real life,
like, you know, keep it to a paragraph or whatever.
But like, if you told us it'd be cool to hear some real life.
I mean, obviously these are all real life, but like some normal
yeah, love stories, you know, especially.
Just some heartwarming stories for the episodes that are a
little bit more sad. Yeah.
That would be nice to end on a
positive note. Now that love is positive.
It's real, it's real. So many and guys you can always.
If you have any suggestions or things you'd like to be covered,
let us know. Yeah, let us know.
And also as we said in our last episode, send us a voice message
about any couples that you're really interested in.
And when we cover them, we would love to play the voice message
that would be. Cool, that would be cool.
I don't know. There's so many infinite,
there's so many people we could cover.
Oh yeah, Jeff Probst. Oh my.
Yes. And that Survivor contestant
that he dated, I would love to do that.
Is anybody interested in this guy's Jeff Probst, Toast of
Survivor? He dated a girl from Survivor.
Yeah. Contestant for like 4 years.
Yeah, apparently he emailed her. Really.
Yeah. Oh, that's interesting.
After this, after the season was over.
Wow, can you? Imagine.
I wonder if there's more to the story.
If that's it, wait. I would.
Love to cover that. It's like no one would care.
Hey, would anyone be interested? I know I was thinking because
this relationship that I covered today was pretty like brief and
like kind of a fling kind of thing.
But I was thinking, wouldn't it be hilarious if we started years
from now or something doing people that went on one date
literally the night they met? Yeah, they do.
The whole back story leading up to it, like grew up with this,
had struggles in high school, but finally they went on a date.
So you went to Lucky Strike. That's it.
That's. It and it it just didn't work
out. It fizzled up Well, I'm sure
there's probably so many one dates as like E listers have
been on with each other and it just fizzled out like they just
didn't have a connection. There was no spark.
Yeah. Drake was making it sound like
he's been on a lot of first dates that didn't go anymore.
But I don't know if I buy it. I don't get it.
I know. There's something fishy here.
It's also like Reza Charles and he kept getting rejected.
It's like what's? Going on, I know I'm because
Jake's a good looking guy. Like I said, I think he's a sexy
voice. Maybe he's more of a player.
I mean, I definitely consider him that way now, but like, even
back then maybe he was just kind of a player and he's just making
it sound like, yeah, he's so innocent.
I don't know, but maybe, you know, maybe he's like kind of
desperate though, yeah. Cuz what was it, the I'm single
thing? Yeah.
Is he too desperate? Well, you know what I will say,
like there's some guys who are very nice and will give you a
lot of attention, but you can tell it's just because they want
attention from anybody. And so it's hard to like, really
get like caught up in their chivalry because you're like, I
like, I don't feel special. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When I was sophomore in high school, I was going, I really
feel about sharing this, right. But I was asked to the dance by
a guy and I said yes. And then in my dance class
later, I like told the other girls and I found out that I was
like maybe the 5th girl that he had asked for the dance.
And. And I feel bad because, you
know, it's so much brother. And it's nice that he kept
trying to get a date, but I ended up, like, really being
turned off by that. Yeah.
Because I felt like, oh, it doesn't really have anything to
do with me. Like yeah, just understand
wanted any date you know? Yeah, it's not special.
Yeah, I could see there being some of that.
Maybe. I don't know.
It's it's like a little mysterious to me, but I'm not
like a Drake expert, obviously. So if anybody knows let us know.
But it was really fun learning about this and it gave me some
laughs. Yeah, I like it.
We needed something light. I was also randomly thinking of
what? I was just thinking that like,
like we needed something light for drinkers, probably like
crying at home. About.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. This is the biggest struggle of
my. Life, yeah.
I'm heartbroken one of. The hardest things he's ever
been through. And when we were like, that was
a nice, funny episode. Give me a laugh.
Yeah, well. Spoiler our next episode.
This is a couple that did break up, and I would say if you were
around in the late 2000s, this was a couple that was on your
radar. It was kind of a teen dream and
I would say. Teenage Dream tonight.
This couple was like the major couple.
I like the start of social media and everything too and probably
stopped being as big of a deal when Robert Pattinson and Chris
and Sierra got together. I can see that.
Wow.
OK, Excited. I'm really excited.
I love being in the listening. It will be a.
Long, long problem. Cool.
Well, thank you guys so so, so so much for listening and for
supporting the show. We love you.
We. Love you and we'll get back
together next week. We'll get back together next
week. Is your heart filled with pain?
Shall I come back again? Tell me dear.
