Rapper Drake is dropping his debut album Thank Me Later next week and has revealed some interesting information about the opening track and a certain Bajan pop beauty.
The Young Money rapper spoke to the New York Times about his new album, and spoke for the first time about his quickie relationship with pop star Rihanna. Last year, the pair were spotted kissing at the Lucky Strike bowling alley in Manhattan, sparking rumors that he was her first boyfriend after her assault by Chris Brown. According to Drake, though, it was hardly a relationship.
"I was a pawn," Drake told NYT. "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.' "
The rapper also speaks about the relationship in the song "Fireworks", his collaboration with Alicia Keys. On the song, Drake raps: "I could tell it wasn't love, I just thought you'd fuck with me. Who could've 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. Now all of the sudden these gossip rags wanna cover me and you makin' it seem like it happened that way because of me. But I was curious and I'll never forget it baby. What an experience. You could've been the one, but it wasn't that serious."
Wow, clearly someone was feeling it more than the other. Not surprising, since Rihanna is easily one of the hottest stars on the planet. You can't blame a guy for feeling a bit burned. At least we get a great song out of it. On the song, Drake also raps about his relationship with jailed mentor Lil' Wayne and his mother.
Thank Me Later drops in stores on June 15th (it leaked online last week, if you're adventurous, or know how to use Youtube well).
