SZA (2009)
Drake confirmed that he dated SZA when he dropped the song “Mr. Right Now” in October 2, 2020 where he rapped, “Yeah, said she wanna f–k to some SZA, wait / ‘Cause I used to date SZA back in ’08.” SZA responded to the claims on X (formerly Twitter) two days later. “So It was actually 2009 lol 🙃.. in this case a year of poetic rap license mattered 🥴 lol I think he jus innocently rhymed 08 w wait . Anybody who really knows me and was around during this time can confirm.. it’s all love all peace 🤝💎💫”
She continued the thread, “I just didn’t want anybody thinking anything underage or creepy was happening. Completely innocent. Lifetimes ago.”
She doubled down on it in an interview with Rolling Stone, saying they were “were really young.” “It wasn’t hot and heavy or anything. It was like youth vibes. It was so childish.”
Recently, two of SZA’s co-stars grilled her about her relationship with Drake. In a Hot Ones Versus episode to promote their movie One of Them Days, Keke Palmer asked the “All the Stars” singer if Drake was a good singer. SZA kept mum for the most part. “We were children!” she exclaimed. “We were children. 2009? We were children.” For her part, SZA was really joking—Drake was 23 years old at the time and SZA was 20 years old. Palmer and Issa Rae fanned the flames saying that her answer would be a “simple good or not good,” with Rae adding it was “really easy.” The Insecure creator continued, “And the fact that you don’t want to say one is very telling.”
