Though, those references don't seem to be as pointed as Lee's. Taking Lee's mention into consideration, it's totally plausible that Sydney and Tiffany are also real women he's dated and that those are their real names to boot (Taylor Swift, you have some brave company). Drake did not offer a public comment on the allegations. The woman is now suing Drake for excluding her from sharing co-writer royalties on one of his biggest recent hits.Īccording to TMZ, in February 2013, Drake and Lee came to an agreement outside of court and the case was dropped. According to Genius, it seems that "Ericka" is Ericka Lee, Drake's ex-girlfriend who is better known as "the girl on the phone in 'Marvin's Room.'" According to The Hollywood Reporter in 2012, Ericka Lee, revealing herself to be Drake's ex-girlfriend, has stepped up, saying she was the voice on the other end of the phone call. She gives Drake a lap dance, but the second he tries to touch her, she pushes him off.
In 'Anaconda', Nicki Minaj proves that there are ways to love yourself, your body, and your sexuality without submitting to the patriarchy. Drake also mentions two other women in "Redemption" by names Ericka and Tiffany. Nicki Minaj literally destroys the male gaze in her music video Lookin Ass. There's another element of the song that muddies the Sydney waters a bit, as well. His dating life, while often rapped and sung about, is hardly ever talked about by him outside of his art. After all, Drake's relationships are often kept on the down low. Perhaps the answer is that the person isn't high-profile.
Which high-profile person that Drake has been linked to had a child? Rihanna? No. If we want to really get to the bottom of this "Sydney" business, though, we should take a better look at the lines that she's mentioned in: Sydney gave up on me when I went missin'/Syd had a baby and treated me differentĪlright, so here's what we know about Sydney: She peaced when Drake didn't give her the attention she deserved (you go, girl) and, this could be the most telling part about her, she had a baby. Not everyone is as bold as Taylor Swift when it comes to referencing old flames in songs. But another possibility is that "Sydney" is just an alias for someone who he wants to remain anonymous. What does this mean? Is Sydney just a fictional character in this particular lyrical story? Well, that's definitely a possibility. But who is Sydney, the woman Drake mentions in "Redemption"?įirst things first, I cannot recall Drake ever being connected to a Sydney, and after doing a bit of digging, it would appear that the Internet doesn't either. If you listened to Drake's new song, "Redemption" on his new album Views, you'd know that a woman named Sydney has already somewhat achieved my dreams. You know, just so long as I'm not getting painted as a heartbreaker type, because I would never, ever do him wrong. I can imagine sadness, but I can also imagine a sneer wiped across his face.There are a lot of things I aspire to in life, and getting a shout out from Drake in one of his songs is most definitely up there on the list. I only wish I could have seen his facial expressions while all of this was happening. When people are hurting they lash out in anger because they don’t know how else to express themselves, or they just don’t want other people to know the sadness that lies deep inside of them. When you think about it, anger is one of the loudest emotions.
DRAKE DOING IT WRONG MEANING FULL
However, no matter how many nasty things I said about him to others, and no matter how many angry texts I sent him full of hateful words, I didn’t feel okay. I thought that if I could make him believe that I was okay, I would somehow be okay too. I was angry because I wanted to cover up my sadness and I didn’t want to seem weak. When I texted him back, there were notes of sadness in my words, but it was mostly anger. I hated that I’d already become so attached so quickly. I hated that I felt so in the dark, but that he was telling me everything. I thought that since he continuously …show more content… I hated that I couldn’t really tell if these were truthful words that he was telling me or if this was just a game or something else. This was my third attempt at a relationship with this particular one, and I thought ‘the third time’s the charm’ when it came to trying to make it work. I had a boy with amazing blue eyes and a fantastic smile. As normal and boring as this holiday break was, there was one thing different. I was having a pretty typical thanksgiving break, driving to my grandma’s house, rigorously trying to finish my extra credit assignments before I returned to school, only to give up the night before and not even turn them in. “We live in a generation of, not being in love, and not being togetherīut we sure make it feel like we're togetherĬause we're scared to see each other with somebody else” - Drake ‘Doing It Wrong’
