In the latest issue of Elle magazine, Drake speaks on his relationship with Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, threesomes, naked photos, loneliness, and bringing girls home to his mother. You can read the excerpts below, courtesy of Complex.
On loneliness:
“When you’re on the road and moving city to city, when someone isn’t there at the end of the night, you feel empty. The 15 or 20 seconds after a man reaches his climax is the realest moment he’ll ever have in his life. And if you happen to be with somebody that isn’t someone you want to converse with, you start feeling like, I wish I was just here watching True Blood by myself.”
On his fake Twitter marriage to Nicki Minaj:
“I don’t know if we were really pretending. I’d marry Nicki. I think Nicki would be one of the only people that would understand me at the end of all of this and be able to love me.”
On bringing girls home to mom:
“The most intense thing I’ve ever done was bring a girl to Passover dinner. [My mom] just wants me to be happy, but I’m sure she’d love it if I married a Jewish girl.”
On receiving naked pictures:
“If you send them without me asking, it’s like, You’ve done this before. But I’m away a lot. If there’s a woman I’m into, I might want to get a picture from her to handle business myself, as opposed to doing something I might regret.”
On threesomes:
“I’ve never had one. I swear. I’m a one-woman kind of guy.”
On being hurt by Rihanna:
“At the time it hurt, but she didn’t mean to. I’ll never put that on her. I was hurt because I slowly started to realize what it was. I guess I thought it was more. That was the first girl with any fame that paid me any mind. You spend days reading about this person in magazines. All of a sudden you have this number-one song and you’re at some birthday party and there she is. And you’re just some naive kid from Toronto staying in some shitty-ass hotel who got invited to this party on a whim. That’s just how it happened.”
In my opinion it’s time Drake sucked it the heck up and moved on from the Rihanna broke my heart ish. Unlike a lot of women, I didn’t like Marvin’s Room. Fair play to him, it shows he’s a human being with feelings but writing about it in a song is one thing, continually talking about it is another.
I’m sure his friends have told him there’s plenty more fish in the sea. My advice go get wet and stop being wet. Go have a swim Drake.
