As for Kanye’s previous comments, he claimed: “Drake has a rich baby daddy, named Lucian [Grainge] and Universal. He’s like, ‘My daddy got it. My daddy control the spins. My daddy got the DSPs.’ Drake has a rich baby daddy named Lucian.” From there, he claimed Grainge works for “people who control the banks in Africa.” Ye also references Grainge in the lyrics to his new remix of Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That.” He raps: “Pluto sent the drones, it hit like Metro beats/ It’s a wrap for n**gas, where’s Lucian? Serve ya’ master, n**ga/ You caught a little bag for your masters didn’t ya’, lifetime deal, I feel bad for n**gas/ Y’all so outta sight outta mind, I can’t even think of a Drake line/ Play J. Cole, get the p**sy dry, play this s**t back 130 times.”

Joe Budden Believes Drake Is Secretly ‘Getting Paid’ To Promote Sexyy Red And Doubts The Duo’s Friendship

Despite his ongoing spats, a public co-sign from Drake can catapult any rising musician to mainstream success.

The “You Broke My Heart” rapper’s latest muse, Sexyy Red, has undoubtedly seen a boom in her career. Their time on the road, recorded collaboration (“Rich Baby Daddy“), and flirty energy have made them a fun fixture for music fans. However, Joe Budden doesn’t believe any of it.

On March 28, the podcaster told his co-hosts that he believes Drake is secretly “getting paid to promote Sexyy Red.” Budden’s criticism didn’t stop there. He went on to say that he also doubts the fawned-over friendship presented by the entertainers online.

Although another member of the panel quickly agreed. Trevor “Queenzflip” Robinson pushed back. “Quick, real, quick, real quick, you said this ‘paid on somebody’s deal,’” he said. “Is this confirmed, or is this just some inside sh*t that you are saying?”

Budden quickly snapped: “Oh, you think [Drake] just likes being around Sexyy Red?”

The truth is yet to be determined. But given the extravagant gifts, including cash and lavish purses, Drake gave to Sexyy Red and his appearance in her recent “Get It Sexyy,” they seem to be fine in their friendship.

Watch the full clip below.

Drake Cozies Up To Sexyy Red And Dubs Her “Iconic And Demonic”

Drake is going through a lot right now. Overall, this is mostly due to the fact that he is being attacked by many of his peers. Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, Future, and even Rick Ross are coming after him. However, it is Kendrick’s diss that people are talking the most about. Some are wondering if Drizzy is going to respond. Based on some of the things he said over the weekend, it appears as though Drake is ducking the smoke, at least for now. Of course, this could certainly change especially with how fast he is at turning around diss tracks.

In the meantime, Drake seems to be surrounding himself with the good people in his life. One of those individuals is none other than Sexyy Red. Drizzy has been a huge fan of the St. Louis MC. He’s put her on his tour on two separate occasions. Meanwhile, she was featured on the track “Rich Baby Daddy” which also comes with a SZA feature. Needless to say, these two are a dynamic duo that fans are learning to adore. In the Instagram post below, Drake showed some love to Sexyy with a pair of photos in which the two are cozied up together in the club.

“Fine line between iconic and demonic and shorty struts it she doesn’t just walk it,” Drake wrote on his Instagram post. Previously, fans had tried to craft theories about how Drake is the father of Sexyy’s latest child. With this latest post in mind, those rumors will probably get spread further. However, the two clearly do not care. They are the best of friends, and you love to see it. Drake certainly needs good people around him right now.

Is Drake Sexyy Red’s Baby Daddy?

Back in 2023, Drake, Sexyy Red, and SZA all joined forces for the Canadian rapper’s For All The Dogs track “Rich Baby Daddy.” Most recently, a new music video for the song dropped, which has an interesting premise. In it, Drake and Sexyy Red play a suburban couple who are expecting a child together — and it perfectly works out, as Sexyy Red was actually pregnant when filming the video.

Reminiscent of a home video recording, he then films as Sexyy Red goes into labor (in real life, perhaps) which leads to a tense conversation between the two. “Put the camera down!” she shouts, halfway through the music video, after telling him her water broke. “Are you f*cking dumb? Can you stop,” SZA adds.

Because of the video’s realistic-seeming content, some might be wondering if Drake is really the father. Here’s what to know.

Is Drake Sexyy Red’s Baby Daddy?

Drake is… not the father! Although Sexyy Red has a song called “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad),” she was not referring to Drake. She gave birth to her second child, which she announced through an Instagram post. “Me waitin to get discharged from the hospital so I can hit da block wit da guys,” she captioned at the time.

Last month, she also revealed (sort of) who the child’s father was, as he posed with her for a maternity photoshoot. Although The Shade Room blurred out his face, fans can very clearly see that it’s not Drake. Check out Sexyy Red’s shoot with the father here.
