Drake played it cool when Confidenti@l spoke to him about his former nemesis Chris Brown and his ex-love Rihanna.
The rapper shied away from talk that his longstanding feud with Brown — which reached a head when the two had a brawl at W.i.P. nightclub in New York in 2012 — is over now that Drizzy shared a shot of them together via Instagram on Friday. He also gave the broadest hint that he and Rihanna were never serious, insisting he has always been a “bachelor.” “Actually, my status (as a bachelor) hasn’t changed, just to clear that up,” he said.
Drake will host the 2014 ESPYs along with LeBron James on Wednesday, and he told us he’s completely focused. “I have put everything on hold to give the best possible performance I can at this awards show,” he said. “When I commit to something, I don’t let my focus stray.” Drake promises “a few jokes” for athletes at
the ceremony, which will be televised live at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
After their infamous club fight in June 2012, the world pretty much ruled out any chance of a Drake and Chris Brown collaboration. But that’s all changed since the superstar duo were spotted together in the recording studio. Why collab now? Drake couldn’t pass up the “potential to be epic,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Drake, 27, and Chris Brown, 25, won’t let an old rivalry over Rihanna, 26, ruin a potential hit song for both of them! The singers confirmed they were in the studio together in an Instagram photo posted by Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson. In the pic, Chris looks like he’s singing — and Drake listens approvingly. This is all happening because Drake won’t let anything — or any feud — stand in the way of his career!
Drake: Why The Rapper Agreed To Record Music With Chris Brown
Not even a club fight can keep Drake from collaborating with another famous musician. “Drake’s always been about his music and making his money and no one will ever come between that — not even Chris Brown,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
“There are no issues between them whatsoever as you can see. Drake has always said he doesn’t have a problem with Chris and he meant that,” our source reveals. Drake couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make a hit!
“He will work with anyone in the biz if he thinks the collab has the potential to be epic,” our source admits.
We think right now is the perfect time for these two to record music together — we can’t wait to hear how the track (or maybe even tracks!) turns out!
Drake: He Doesn’t Care What Rihanna Thinks About Collab With Chris Brown
We previously reported that Chris was a big fan of Drake’s music and was open to recording with him. But one person who most likely was NOT open to this? That’s Drake and Chris’ ex, Rihanna. We’ve learned that Drake doesn’t really care what Riri thinks about this collab!
“He’s sure Rihanna doesn’t agree with him working with Chris, but at the end of the day, he’s going to make his own decisions,” a source close to Drake tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “And like he told Rihanna from the jump, he’s about his music and that comes first — even if it is doing a collab with Chris.”
What do YOU think about Drake putting an “epic” song and "making money over an old feud? Let us know!
