It seems like he’s been the butt of jokes for so long that it’s really affected him. It’s like he’s internalized all that negativity, and it probably influences how he operates behind the scenes. He might be thinking, “I’m always there for you, but you treated me like I wasn’t good enough?” He’s kept a lot of his feelings hidden. And honestly, that’s not unusual in the industry. It’s common for people to be extra friendly, smiling and swapping numbers with everyone—rappers, athletes, actors, and more.
When it comes to relationships and marriage, understanding someone’s background can be crucial. For instance, if someone’s dad left when they were young, it could explain a lot about their behavior. Drake’s relationship with women has always been a big part of his music. From his early songs about breakups and being sensitive to his later portrayal as the “Certified Lover Boy,” he’s had quite the evolution.
He used to come across as someone who genuinely admired women, but over time, that image has changed. Songs like “Marvin’s Room” show his loneliness, while “Her Loss” with 21 Savage brought up accusations of misogyny. Even in “God’s Plan,” where he says his only true love is his mom, it’s clear how his perspective has shifted. The sweet guy image that helped his career soar is long gone, replaced by a perception that, as Kendrick put it, Drake now values women mostly for sexual gratification and to outdo his rivals and friends.
There’s a growing buzz that Drake might be dealing with a serious sex addiction, and it could be messing with his life in some big ways. He often presents himself as a smart and cool-headed businessman, but his actions tell a different story. It seems like he’s constantly caught up in situations where he’s either trying to prove something or get a reaction, rather than building real connections.
Take the recent drama with Ice Spice, for example. He flew her out to OVO Fest, but when things didn’t go his way, he cut ties with her pretty quickly. Some people even think he unfollowed her on social media right after. It’s a classic move for Drake to cut people out when he doesn’t get what he wants, and it seems like he’s operating on a level where he feels untouchable.
French Montana even mentioned in an interview with Angie Martinez how Drake’s behavior can be pretty unpredictable. It’s like his fame gives him this sense of immunity, allowing him to act without worrying about the fallout. This pattern of behavior suggests that his issues with relationships might be deeper than they appear on the surface.
There are definitely people out there with bigger reputations than mine. Drake is one of them, and while you and he are friends, he’s known for his own set of rules—his Snipe Squad commandments. For example, rule number one: don’t snipe a bro. Rule number two: keep business talk away from women from the U.S., Canada, or anywhere else. Rule number three: follow the 3-day export rule to keep things smooth. Basically, if you bring someone in, give them three days to avoid any issues—no more.
Drake’s attitude often reflects a youthful, somewhat reckless approach. It explains why he doesn’t hesitate to step on people’s toes, even if it means messing with someone else’s team. Take Naomi Sharon, for example. Unlike Ice Spice, Naomi reportedly welcomed Drake’s advances even though she was in an 8-year relationship. To make matters worse, Drake had just worked out with her then-boyfriend days before the scandal broke. Then, to add insult to injury, Drake posted an Instagram picture with the caption “Dirty” after the story went public. Imagine having a long, supportive relationship, with an engagement and wedding plans, only to see it all fall apart because of this betrayal. Her ex, Jamie Suns, expressed his heartbreak, saying, “A world star offers my fiancé a record deal, flies us both out, and then all trust is shattered. I’m no longer with the person or the relationship I thought I was.”
Jamie’s story really shows how little Drake seems to care about other people’s lives when he’s after something. Even though he faced some backlash, it’s clear his promise to French Montana about staying out of other people’s relationships was just talk. Drake has a habit of dragging women into his beefs with other rappers. His biggest fan, Academics, points out that Drake often crosses lines, saying, “He’s a bit sloppy with it. These guys share the same women, and it can come off as disrespectful.” This pattern has been part of Drake’s approach for a long time. Remember his feud with Chris Brown? It all started when Drake sent a bottle to Chris with a note saying, “I’m the love of your life.” That note set off a beef that lasted for years.
So, there’s Drake, sending that note in a club where Chris Brown was also present, turning an awkward situation into a full-blown feud. Even though their issues over Rihanna didn’t make big waves immediately, Drake’s tendency to get involved with other people’s partners contributed to his ghostwriting scandal with Quentin Miller. That controversy has been haunting him ever since.
It all kicked off with those reference tracks. DJ Drama revealed, “He didn’t write that. The guy in my Atlanta studio recorded it, and Drake just sang over it.” That’s how it started—two guys who believed in Drake made that moment happen.
But if you want to understand just how far Drake will go when it comes to women, consider this: he once betrayed his own mentor during a tough time. Kendrick Lamar dropped that bomb in his song “Not Like Us.” There have been whispers for a while that Drake went after Wayne’s girl while Wayne was locked up. To Wayne’s credit, he’s tried to downplay it, saying, “I wasn’t worried about that. That’s just how life is when you’re in prison. She still texts me and stuff.”
Yet, there’s more to the story that doesn’t get talked about. In his autobiography, Wayne revealed how much it hurt him: “It really took a toll on me. I woke up still feeling messed up about that day. I’m used to arguing with my girl, but finding out she’d been with Drake was the worst.” This betrayal sheds light on how deep Drake’s personal issues might run.
As for why Drake’s issues started, there are theories, but they all point to the same root: dealing with his tough past or proving his doubters wrong. On the Joe Budden podcast, they talked about how people’s views on Drake might influence his behavior, especially his tendency to go after women who are off-limits.
Joe Budden said, “Let’s be real about how people talk about Drake behind the scenes. In the industry, they see him as this guy who didn’t get much attention growing up, and now he’s trying to make up for that. This explains why he might be reckless with women—he’s trying to prove himself. A lot of people in the industry, who’ve had different experiences, don’t respect his way of doing things.”
Joe Budden thinks Drake’s behavior is a reaction to how he’s been treated in the industry. But Nessa and Ebro believe it goes deeper. They think it’s about how the world has treated him overall. When you’ve been looked down on or made fun of as a “sad-boy” meme, proving yourself by taking someone’s girl might be his way of showing he’s the star he always knew he was.
“People have been making fun of him for so long that it seems like he’s really taken it to heart, and it probably affects how he behaves behind the scenes. He might be thinking, ‘I’m your girl and your girl and your girl because you treated me like this? You thought I wasn’t good enough?’ He’s kept a lot to himself because of social media, where people have made long lists of folks—like around 40—he’s had issues with. It’s everyone from women to men to the women they’ve chosen to be with. At some point, you have to wonder, ‘Is it really everyone else, or is it something about him?'”
But it’s not just about Drake’s clear dependence on sex or his tendency to stab people in the back. The real problem is how his past and behavior have shaped a troubling attitude towards women, which could end up being his downfall. Every time he’s been knocked down in a feud, from Pusha T to Kendrick Lamar, it’s usually when he’s gone after someone’s spouse or fiancée. Pusha thinks this all goes back to Drake’s childhood struggles.
“I need to dig deeper into why he’s so messed up about relationships. What’s his family situation like? Oh, his dad left when he was 5? That makes sense. He didn’t have a strong father figure and ended up with a dad who’s still chasing women in a weird way. It explains why Drake doesn’t think twice about getting involved with someone else’s partner or dissing someone’s wife. For people like Pusha, Kendrick, or even A$AP Rocky, who have dealt with Drake’s behavior, respecting women is a given. It seems like Drake might have lots of relationships with women, but he doesn’t truly respect them.”
Now that his peers are calling him out and he’s feeling the heat, Drake’s facing a serious wake-up call. If he doesn’t change his ways, this obsession could end up destroying his career, his legacy, and maybe even his life.
