Bebe Rexha took her shot at Drake, but the message never landed.
During an appearance on the IRL Angie Martinez podcast, Rexha revealed that she once slid into Drake's DMs after watching his viral "20v1" speed-dating livestream. The singer said she decided to make her case directly to the Toronto rapper.
"I'm your dream girl, I'm Albanian, I got a fat ass, I got my own thing going on," Rexha recalled writing. Unfortunately for her, she never got a response.
"I don't even think he saw it or he saw it and just ignored it," she said.
Rexha later clarified that she couldn't technically accuse Drake of leaving her on read. Since he doesn't follow her, she said the message never showed that it had been opened.
The singer also joked that Drake's dating history might make it difficult for anyone else to measure up, specifically pointing to his past connection with Rihanna.
"I feel like anybody who's dated Rihanna like you can never go up from there," Rexha said. "She is the baddest."
It wasn't Rexha's only memorable interaction with Drake.
She recalled previously crossing paths with him at an awards show while he was surrounded by members of his crew. Rexha greeted him by saying, "Hey Daddy?" but said Drake responded with a dirty look. According to Rexha, a member of his security team then told her, "Do not call him that."
Despite the unsuccessful DM and awkward encounter, Rexha hasn't completely abandoned the possibility. She suggested that a mutual friend could potentially find out whether Drake has any interest without putting her directly on the spot.
"Maybe you could be like, 'Hey, I want to set you up with my friend,'" Rexha told Martinez. "Because to me, if he goes, 'Nah, I'm good on her,' I'd be like, 'Okay, he's good on me.'"
Martinez joked that Rexha could at least turn the experience into a song and even floated the possibility of getting her and Drake into the studio together.
