After the 'Nice for What' hitmaker is accused of trolling Kanye West again with the cover of his new single 'Search and Rescue', the identity of the mystery woman in the image has been revealed.

AceShowbiz - It's not Kim Kardashian who's featured in a promo photo for Drake's new song. Despite her resemblance to the reality TV star, the woman who posed with the Canadian superstar for his "Search & Rescue" cover art has been revealed to be Lilah.
Lilah is a singer who has gotten major props from OVO in the past. The artist, who has dropped song "Summer Night's Fling", is followed by Drizzy on Instagram and previously sparked dating rumors with the "In My Feelings" hitmaker after they were spotted having fun in the water during a vacation together in September 2022.
It's unclear what Drake's relationship with Lilah was at the time, but she has gained attention again following her appearance in Drake's cover art. On the same day he dropped his new single "Search and Rescue", the 36-year-old unveiled its cover art which sees him wearing a motorcycle helmet next to Lilah. With only her eyes visible in the image, she looks eerily similar to Kim, prompting many to speculate that Drizzy was further trolling Kanye West.
The song itself features a snippet of "The Kardashians" star's conversation with her mom Kris Jenner in which she discussed her decision to get a divorce from Ye. "I didn't come this far, just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that," Kim said in the clip seemingly taken from an episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians".
Drake's father has since denied that his son is trying to reignite his beef with Ye. Responding to TMZ's post about the Kim sample, Dennis Graham wrote, "Drake is not trolling anyone, it's just a song, Why try and create a Kanye and Drake beef again??????????????"
Drake had a beef with Ye in the past, but he already squashed the years-long feud in late 2021 as they reunited at the "Free Larry Hoover" benefit concert. In September 2022, however, he seemingly took a swipe at the drama involving Ye and Adidas when attending Nike Maxim Awards in Beaverton, Oregon. Before congratulating Nike on 50 years of existence, he took a shot at the competition by naming some of the rival companies' biggest representatives.
"When you put things into perspective. Adidas has Kanye, I think," the "In My Feelings" hitmaker then quipped, drawing laughter from the crowd. "Nike, we have LeBron James, Kevin Durant, [Giannis Antetokounmpo], Michael Jordan. The greatest creative mind of all-time, Virgil Abloh, rest in peace. We have Cristiano Ronaldo. We have Serena Williams. We have [Tiger Woods]," he continued, before adding, "And I'm pretty sure Reebok has Tyga, so we're good."
