The internet is creeped out to find out that the 31-year-old rapper is texting the 14-year-old actress to give advice 'about boys.'
- September 20, 2018
AceShowbiz - Millie Bobby Brown recently proudly talked about her relationship with Drake, but the internet isn't so impressed after finding out what they're talking about via text messages. Met on the red carpet at the 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, September 17, the "Stranger Things" star revealed how she got close with the Canadian rapper.
"I met him in Australia, and he's honestly so fantastic - a great friend and a great role model," the 14-year-old actress shared. "We just texted each other the other day, and he was like, 'I miss you so much,' and I was like, 'I miss you more.' "
Millie had previously said that Drake gave her life advice. Asked about what kind of advice that she got from the "In My Feelings" hitmaker, the teen star replied, "About boys. He helps me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's great. He's wonderful. I love him." She, however, would not share more details about the advice she got from Drake, saying, "That stays in the text messages."
People soon took to Twitter to react to the news about Drake and Millie's text exchange, and many of them found it "troubling," "disturbing" and "creepy." Some others accused the 31-year-old rapper of "grooming."

"Drake is OBVIOUSLY grooming Millie Bobby Brown.. no 30-something year old man should be in a 14 year old girls text messages giving her... 'dating advice'," one wrote.

Another similarly reacted, "this s**t is NOT okay. it's GROOMING. it is outright predatorial behavior esp w/the other ways Drake has been showing his disgusting a**."

Drake went on a date with that eighteen year old after they’d “known each other for two yearsâ€
And he’s texting 14 year old Millie Bobby Brown about boys and relationships, which is textbook grooming behavior
...uh....
New York-based actor Christina Ritter weighed in, "31 year old Drake dating 18 year old Bella Harris makes his close friendship with Millie Bobby Brown less cute and more creepy."

She is 14.
Am I taking crazy pills? In what world is this even remotely okay?
Journalist and JSC Radio host added, "Ummm, If she isn't your little sister or daughter, I can't think of too many reasons a man north of 30 should be texting a teenager."

Neither Drake nor Millie has responded to the controversy regarding their relationship. Until then, it's safe to assume that the Emmy-nominated actress will go on with her plan to see Drake when he stops by Atlanta for his tour in November.
