Remember when the entire blogosphere was buzzing about newcomer Drake dating Rihanna? Both Rihanna and Drake denied rumors of a relationship, which we never believed anyway. Well, in a recent interview with The New York Times, Drake is crying about being used by Rihanna. But wasn’t he using her too?
He even wrote a song about their brief association, but he never released it. Here are the lyrics to “Fireworks”:
I could tell it wasn’t love, I just thought you’d fuck with me
Who could’ve predicted Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me, damn
I kept my wits about me luckily, what happened between us that night, it always seems to trouble me
Now all of a sudden these gossip rags wanna cover me
and you makin’ it seem like it happened that way because of me
But I was curious, and I’ll never forget it baby, what an experience
You could’ve been the one, but it wasn’t that serious.
What kind of b*tch is Drake? He’s on some other sh*t. His whole concept is lame and corny. Maybe he tried to take it there with Rihanna and she hurt his feelings by reminding him that she doesn’t date gay rappers.
“You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear,” he said. “I was like, wow, this feels terrible.”
But it’s also the new normal, and Drake wonders if real intimacy is now out of reach, maybe irretrievably so. “Did I sacrifice something?” he asked, looking for the black cloud above the silver lining. “Have I not realized what it is yet because I’m enjoying this too much?”
