Drake’s ongoing obsession with Rihanna has left many fans concerned, especially after his recent actions. He recently released unseen footage of him and Rihanna rehearsing for “Take Care,” and was spotted wearing a t-shirt with her face on it. Additionally, in a clip from his “100 Gigs Drop,” Drake revealed that the song “Too Good” featuring Rihanna from his album Views was actually about Serena Williams.
He mentioned that while Serena might hear the song, she wouldn’t be upset because it’s lighthearted. These recent actions have fans questioning Drake’s motives, with many suggesting his behavior is starting to look unhealthy and obsessive, even though there’s no romantic involvement anymore.
Drake and Rihanna have a long history, having first crossed paths during the filming of her debut music video “Pon de Replay.” Although they appeared to have an on-and-off relationship until 2016, Rihanna has consistently stated that they were just good friends. Despite this, Drake has openly expressed his desire to start a family with her, as he mentioned on LeBron James’ HBO show The Shop. He reflected on how life has taken him down a different path, acknowledging that he once wanted the “fairy tale” life with Rihanna.
One of the most memorable moments in their history was in 2016, when Drake publicly declared his love for Rihanna while presenting her with the Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Music Video Awards. However, the moment became awkward when Rihanna dodged his attempt to kiss her, and she later expressed her discomfort with the situation in an interview with Vogue, stating that they no longer have a friendship, though they’re not enemies either.
Since then, Drake has continued to reference Rihanna in his songs and public appearances, which some fans see as evidence that he’s still not over her. For instance, after Rihanna announced her pregnancy with ASAP Rocky, Drake unfollowed her on social media, a move many saw as petty. He’s also made subtle jabs at both Rihanna and ASAP Rocky in his lyrics, including lines in his recent songs that seem to take aim at their relationship.
In one track, “Fear of Heights,” Drake dismisses his past with Rihanna, even going so far as to suggest that their time together was unremarkable and dissing her relationship with ASAP Rocky. This behavior has led fans to question why Drake continues to bring up Rihanna, especially when she’s moved on and is happy with her family. While Rihanna has mostly stayed silent on the matter, there was one instance where she posted, and quickly deleted, a message saying that none of her exes are married or in happy relationships, implying that she wasn’t the problem.
The ongoing obsession has left fans wondering if Rihanna should address it directly or if Drake’s behavior is something she should be concerned about. What do you think about Drake’s actions? Should Rihanna call him out, or is it best to continue ignoring him?
