Drake Said He Name-Drops His Exes In Songs Because He Likes To Keep Things “Honest” After Admitting That Some Of His Lyrics Have Disrupted Their Lives
Drake is expressing some regret over name-dropping his exes in songs.

Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagicThis caused a ton of controversy at the time given that SZA was 17 for most of 2008, while Drake was 21. However, SZA later clarified that the pair actually dated in 2009 as she addressed the uproar in a series of tweets.

Speaking about his career regrets with fellow rapper Lil Yachty on FutureMood’s A Moody Conversation last week, Drake noted that he “could have done without” name-dropping his past lovers.
FUTUREMOOD“When I’ve said girls’ names in songs… I look back on [that] and I’m like, ‘Maybe I could have done without, like, shitting on people for age or disrupting somebody’s life,’” he said.
FUTUREMOODGoing on to claim that his lyrics are “never with ill intent,” Drake explained that grew aware of his songs’ impact after an ex reached out to him.
Prince Williams / WireImage“The lyrics are never with ill intent, but I had somebody one time be like, ‘You know, it’s not necessarily what you’re saying about me, it’s the fact that you said it,’” he said.
FUTUREMOODQuoting what his ex had told him, he said: “‘You don’t know who my boyfriend is at the time or you don’t know what my family knows or doesn’t know. And if you express any form of discontent for me and call me by name in a song, then all of a sudden, I’m left to pick up the pieces of my own life that I’ve tried to build up for myself.’”
FUTUREMOOD“So I’ve tried my best to stop doing that,” he said, before adding: “But I like to be honest in music too so that one’s a push and pull.”
FUTUREMOODDrake’s comments have sparked a pretty mixed reaction on Twitter.

What’s more, several Twitter users went on to rightfully point out that Drake has continued to mention his past lovers — and other celebrities — by name as recently as a few months ago.

What’s more, Drake name-drops a bunch of other celebs across Her Loss, including — perhaps most infamously — Megan Thee Stallion.

Tory was eventually found guilty on all counts, which include assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
Johnny Nunez / WireImage“This bitch lie ‘bout getting shots but she still a stallion,” Drake rapped in the song, which was released a month before Tory was found guilty in court. This sparked huge backlash and prompted Megan to respond in a series of tweets.

“Does he regret calling out megan? for BEING SHOT,” one person tweeted. “tell him to apologise to meg and then we’ll talk,” another said.
