Drake Finally Opens Up About His Relationships With Nicki Minaj and Rihanna

From Cosmopolitan

Late last week, Drake dropped his highly anticipated new album, Views From the 6,

during a global listening party on his weekly show, Beats 1 Radio's OVO Sound. Along with streaming the album itself, the Toronto rapper and all-around emotional human sat down for a one-hour interview with Zane Lowe to discuss the nitty gritty of Views' creation - and ended up delving deep into his relationships with rumored partners, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna.

For anyone who ships Drake and Nicki, you might be disappointed but not surprised to find out that the pair have drifted since Drake's beef with Nicki's fiancé Meek Mill last year.

"I don't really talk to Nicki," he told Zane during Thursday's show. "[She's a] person I have a lot of love for. A lot of love and a lot of respect. Not only for our past, and how much work and time we put in, but even just the way she dealt with the situation. I understand what love is, and I understand a personal situation. She dealt with me how I would expect her to - which was with class. I could only ever do the same."

Drake did go on to hint that there were, however, moments in which he thought maybe the pendulum would swing in his direction.

"There was points in time where I was sitting there waiting - is this gonna go - how deep is your love? You gotta ask yourself," he said. "I always have respect and love for Nicki. Unfortunately, we haven't spoke. But it is what it is. Even if we don't speak, she knows what it is. It's always love."

The rapper's relationship with Rihanna, on the other hand, seems a bit murkier.

"We do well together as a team," he said. "I think we do great music together. It's tough to do guy-girl collabs. I think [the chemistry] is what makes the records better though. It's something genuine there."

"We're not forcing some story on people," he continued. "A lot of the music that we make and the energy that we bring is genuine. We have a lot of genuine energy between us."

What do you think is the reason for Drake relationship fails?
