You could talk shit about Drake for many things. He’s too soft. He can’t sing. He changes sports teams too often. But there’s one thing the man cannot be faulted over: his taste in women. We all know the high profile loves—Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, JLo, Serena Williams—an impressive group of successful, beautiful women. He has even shared some less “conventional” loves, including Shania Twain and the infamous Doris Burke shirt. But after years of social media TMI, Drake’s taste is becoming more predictable. After a deep dive into his Instagram and Twitter accounts and past interviews, Drake’s taste may have finally become crystallized—he’s a sucker for funny women. Women can now be funny AND sexy. It really is the future! Here’s the ladies that make Drake (and us) laugh out loud.
Sarah Silverman
You know her from: SNL, The Sarah Silverman Program
Drake has loved her since: 2016
Song he would dedicate to her at a show: "Best I Ever Had"
It all begins with Drizzy’s Instagram of Sarah Silverman’s SNL headshot with the caption #WCE. Silverman brushed it off as a “Jewish mother fantasy” situation, but she’s probably more right than she knows. Drake is but a man, and anyone who slept through Psych 101 in freshman year of college knows that men are more attracted to women who remind them of their mothers. On “You & The 6”, he raps for 4 entire minutes about how his mom tries to set him up with her trainer and hates all his girlfriends. Could it get any more Jewish? Yes. It can. And after the turnt up bar-mitzvah in the HYFR video, he’s clearly proud of his heritage.
Rashida Jones
Aubrey Plaza
You know her from: Parks and Rec, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Legion
Drake has loved her since: 2010
Song he would dedicate to her at a show: "Find Your Love"
But Drake’s inability to keep it in his pants might have ruined that romance before it even started. He’s been equally vocal about his huge, throbbing, slightly awkward crush on Aubrey Plaza, who starred alongside Jones in Parks and Rec. Two of his biggest crushes starring together in the same show? Coincidence? I think not. In fact, I would not be surprised if Drake credits Parks and Recreation with his sexual awakening.
