Drake Raps About Controversy Around Relationship With Millie Bobby Brown
Drake was once criticized for what some called an inappropriate relationship with actor Millie Bobby Brown. Now, he's incorporated the criticism into a new song.
Back in 2018, Drake came under fire after Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown spoke about the friendship she had with the Grammy-winning rapper nearly double her age. Drake faced criticism at the time for what some called an inappropriate relationship when she was only 14 years old. Now, he's finally responded to the controversy on his new album For All the Dogs.
On the Canadian MC's new song, "Another Late Night," he references the controvery surrounding his friendship with the now-19-year-old actor. He also taunted those critics into mentioning it again and seeing what happens.
"My bank account is magnolia, Milly rockin', ayy / Weirdos in my comments talkin' 'bout some Millie Bobby, look / Bring them jokes up to the gang, we get to really flockin' / Or send a finger to your mama in some FedEx boxes."
It all stems from comments Brown made on the red carpet at the 2018 Emmy Awards. The teenager talked about how Drake was "a great friend and a great role model" to her, and revealed just how frequently they spoke to each other.
"We just texted each other the other day. He was like, 'I miss you so much,' I was like, 'I miss you more,'" she said. Brown also explained that he gave her relationship advice for dealing with boys and how to navigate the entertainment industry as an up-and-coming star. Drake was also a child star, appearing on the Canadian TV show Degrassi before his rap career took off.
Critics of his relationship with Millie Bobby Brown are hardly the only people Drake takes aim at on For All the Dogs. Fans are already speculating about potential shots at Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, Kanye West, NBA YoungBoy, and more.
One thing's for sure: if Drake has ever crossed paths with you at some point, it's likely you could end up part of one of his songs.
