Drake & Ex-Girlfriend Quotes

In 2008, Drake spoke about his past relationships on a song called “Deceiving” using each verse to address different women. In Verse 1, he spoke about video-girl Dia Edwards. In Verse 3, he spoke about classmate Alisha Phillips.

He then spoke about his past relationship with Keshia Chanté on the Verse 2 of his song “Deceiving”, referencing Chanté’s mother, Tessa, stating,

“When I say I’m serious, you claim you’re only teasing” and “What up Tessa? I love you like my own mama, and your daughters getting grown mama, and me, I’m just here working, waiting, patient for her to be ready for love and leave alone drama.”

In May 2009, Drake finally spoke with MuchMusic about his song “Deceiving” and addressed speculation of his past relationship with Chanté,

“Would I call Keshia Chante an ex? I’d be proud to say she is an ex. I’m proud to say we had our time, when we were, like 16 years old. She’s great. She’s one of the first people in the industry that I met, we just connected.”

In June 2009, Drake did two remixes to Chante’s song “Fallen” where he addresses his love for her, on Version 1 he raps,

“Keshia, Keshia, do you remember the old us? They said we’d never be together that’s what they told us. Immature kids, to entrepreneur kids.” then on Version 2, he raps “you just hold it down for your boy until the plaques arrive, that’s why I love you.”

MuchMusic later asked Chanté on how she felt about Drake. She kept mum, later saying,

“I will love that man unconditionally for the rest of my life. He knows what it is. We have history. I’ve known him since I was a little girl. We just have a love/hate relationship, so I prefer to love him from afar.”

Online rumors swirled stating that Drake was in a relationship with Rihanna. Both parties denied that claim, with Drake stating,

“We’re just good friends.”
