In the midst of a fiery rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, an old video of Millie Bobby Brown discussing her friendship with Drake has resurfaced, stirring up discomfort among viewers. The clip from 2018 shows a 14-year-old Brown speaking about her text exchanges with Drake, who was then around 30 years old. In the interview with Access Hollywood, Brown expressed her admiration for Drake, describing him as a fantastic friend and a great role model. She excitedly shared that they texted often and that he had plans to visit her in Atlanta.
During the conversation, Brown mentioned that Drake would give her advice about boys, a topic on which she appreciated his support. However, she kept the specifics of their conversations private, laughing off further inquiries about their text messages. This revelation has led to concern on social media, where some users have critiqued the nature of their communication. Remarks like “texting ‘I miss you so much’ to a 14-year-old as a 30-year-old man” highlight the unease felt by some observers who question the appropriateness of their interactions.
The debate intensified in light of Kendrick Lamar’s recent diss track where he labeled Drake as a “certified pedophile,” accusing him of liking underage girls—a claim Drake vehemently denied in his musical response. This ongoing battle has cast a new light on Drake’s past relationships, including his friendship with Brown, prompting some fans to express their longstanding discomfort with this aspect of his personal life.
This discussion is occurring alongside a broader discourse on celebrity relationships and the boundaries of mentorship and friendship in Hollywood, amplified by the high-profile nature of both Drake and Brown. The resurfacing of this interview not only contributes to the narrative of the current rap feud but also prompts a reevaluation of the dynamics between celebrities of differing ages and the implications of their interactions in the public eye.
