AceShowbiz - Drake was trolled by many social media users for seemingly throwing a shade at Rihanna. The "Fear of Heights" rapper found himself in hot water after refusing to deliver his collaborative song with his former girlfriend.
On Sunday, February 4, the 37-year-old hip-hop artist became a hot topic on X, formerly known as Twitter, after one particular user let out a video featuring his alleged shade at RiRi. In a tweet, the user penned, "Drake says he no longer sings his work collaboration with rihanna anymore, thoughts??"
The social media post led other X users to candidly voice their opinions on the matter. In the replies section of the tweet, one of them blasted the rapper, "He is such a drama queen." Another asked, "Why is Drake always fighting with women," adding a slew of crying faces emojis.
In the meantime, a third questioned, "He's so lame...why play the song in the first place??" Meanwhile, a fourth accused the rapper of seeking attention by writing, "Who cares?. She's way more important than he'll ever be... is he announcing this for more attention?"
The footage itself documented Drake taking the stage at a venue in Tampa, Florida for "It's All a Blur Tour - Big as the What?" on Friday night, February 2. In the clip, he could be heard saying, "I don't sing this song anymore, but you [all] can sing it for me," when he heard his collaborative song "Work" with Rihanna was playing in the background.
Drake and Rihanna released their track "Work" back on January 27, 2016, via Westbury Road and Roc Nation. The song itself serves as the lead single of her eighth studio album titled "Anti".
Drake and Rihanna, who also have collaborative songs "Take Care", "Too Good" and "What's My Name?", sparked romance rumors back in 2009. He admitted in 2016 that she was "someone that I've been in love with since I was 22 years old." However, in 2018, she revealed that they "don't have a friendship now, but we're not enemies either."
