Sexyy Red and Drake share more than just a history of musical collaborations; the two have also developed a genuine friendship. However, Sexyy admits their bond initially caught her by surprise, even though she now understands why Drake is drawn to her personality.
On Tuesday (Nov. 10), Sexyy appeared on DJ Holiday’s Holiday Season Live radio show on Hot 107.9 in Atlanta, where she was asked about her relationship with Drake. The St. Louis rapper explained that although their friendship seemed unexpected at first, she now sees why they connect, pointing to her personality and the genuine way she treats those around her.
“I’m surprised, bruh. Like, yeah, I am, but then it’s like, I got that effect,” she said with a laugh. “It’s not shocking because it’s like, this in me. I mean, of course, he gon’ f\*\*k with me, he gon’ fall for me. But it was shocking because it’s like, dang, like when you actually sit back and look at it, like I took myself out of my shoes and I’m like, that is a crazy little combo. If you think about it, that is crazy.”
She added: “But if you get to know me, you’ll understand like, Oh, this is why he love her so much because she’s just so 100. I’m cool, I’m a good friend, good sister, good girlfriend, good daughter!”
Drake and Sexyy Red first connected musically in 2023 on “Rich Baby Daddy,” alongside SZA, from his For All the Dogs album. They reunited in 2024 for “U My Everything” and have since teamed up on “Cheetah Print” and “Hurrr Nor Thurr,” which appeared on Drake’s albums released earlier this year.
Beyond their musical partnership, Drake has also shown his appreciation for Sexyy through lavish gifts, including a Birkin bag and a custom pink diamond OVO chain this year. Sexyy has also accompanied him at several public appearances and previously described him as someone she can always reach out to whenever she needs support during her August 2026 interview with XXL.
