I’ll always appreciate Drake and his cultural contributions. I’m here for his music. His clever lyrics. His singing on rap records, his diss tracks. But some of his behaviors are questionable. Particularly as they apply to women. There’s this narrative Drake projects as if he’ll save women, strippers, from the pole. There was the footage of doing too much on stage with an underaged girl. And even his relationship with Rihanna has proven questionable.
We could tell by the way Drake made his presentation of her award to be a proclamation of his love for her, that Drake viewed Rihanna in a particular way…more like a trophy than a human with her own autonomy. It was clear from the rumored note he sent to Chris Brown in the club, resulting in a physical fight at the club.
It read: “I’m f**king the love of your life.”
And while Rihanna seems to have forgiven Chris Brown for the abuse that took place in their relationship, it’s interesting that now that he and Rihanna have fallen out, he’s not only partying with Chris Brown, inviting him to parties and what not, the two are making music and money with one another.
Over the weekend, Brown and Drake released a new track called “No Guidance.”
It’s sketchy. Personally, if a woman I loved and cared about had been physically abused by her partner, they could forgive them, I could forgive them and even be cordial. But there are certain boundaries I wouldn’t cross. And if I had fallen out with the person I claimed to love, there would be no reason to develop an entirely new friendship with her ex.
It’s clear that the connection between these two is the fact that they feel they’ve been jilted by the same woman. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who interpreted it as shady. See what people had to say on the following pages.
Drake continuing to work with Chris Brown…especially after ever uttering on stage that he was in love with Rihanna is the MOST disrespectful shit.
if chris brown x drake collab goes #1 rihanna should be credited on billboard. if she didn't exist these two attention seeking WHORES wouldn't make the song. her impact pic.twitter.com/ZOGs2TBNQV
That drake and Chris brown song…………I knew men weren't worth shit but wow……drake you really gonna collab with Rihanna's abuser after announcing ur everlasting love for her on international television a couple years ago???? WOW.
There are some people who are happy to have the collab and are certain that since Rihanna’s forgiven Drake, the two are free to work together.
Lmao deadass her entire family has publically supported CB in some way ☠ Noella's bf be wearing Black Pyramid too. Like clearly Rih is not pressed about people liking the nigga at all. But let them tell it… pic.twitter.com/IBqEMY0O4P
Either way, at the end of the day with thriving businesses, a fanbase clamoring for new music and a new love, Rihanna’s not thinking about the two men from her past.
Rihanna leveled up all the way. She ditched Chris Brown and Drake and found her a billionaire boyfriend to then learn his ways and use it to make her own Ms. So so proud @rihanna
