Drake has denied that he impregnated an Instagram model named Layla Lace. The model posted a lengthy post on Instagram last week, claiming that the "Hotline Bling" hitmaker got her pregnant but refused to talk to her once she told him about it.
TMZ reported that Drake didn't even think her accusation was worth his time and didn't even bother to release any official statement. It was believed that his team threatened Lace with a lawsuit, but it wasn't true as he never even met her. Sources close to the rapper stated that they believed Lace only did it for attention.
Drake's former girlfriends, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, reportedly defended him. Reports said that Rihanna was totally on his side. "Rihanna is embarrassed for Drake after hearing the news that he may have knocked up a random hookup," a source revealed. "She knows he can be a player, but doesn't believe any of the accusations. She's totally Team Drake on this one!"
Reports also suggested that Nicki wanted to make sure that the "One Dance" singer was okay following the baby drama. An insider said, "In the end, Nicki wants to be there for him, just like he was there for her when she broke up with Meek Mill."
DJ Spade, who was claimed by Lace to be the one introducing her to Drake, denied the rumor as well. Last week, he posted a screenshot of his direct message conversation with Lace on Instagram.
During their conversation, Lace admitted that she purposely lied in order to get some attention and money. "It will be too late lol publicity will make me $ even if he don't want me idc," she said to DJ Spade after he asked what she would do if people found out the truth.
Fans were glad to know that the rumor was a complete lie, but some of them believed that the screenshot was fake. "Is this a fake DM? Y'all really need to make sure she lying instead of posting photos of the DM & ignoring the situation," one fan said. "The DM was fake but she's not lying," another added.
