I find it stressful to think about the women that Drake has asked out on a date and then summarily rejected because he never intended to go out with them in the first place. Have they formed a support club? Do they all know about each other? Are they ready to welcome Tiffany Haddish into the fold?
In an appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Talk Table, Haddish revealed that once upon a time, Drake offered to take her out to dinner—sometime after she appeared in the video for “Nice for What.”
From Us Weekly:
He’s like, ‘Man, I’m so excited about the video.’ I said, ‘Man, I’m excited about the video too,’” she recalled. “He was like, ‘We should hang out some time,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m down to hang out. I’m cool to hang out. You let me know.’ And he was like, ‘Let me take you to dinner.’ And I was like, ‘That sounds good,’ and he was like, ‘OK, cool, cool. We’ll make it work.’”
These are not the words of a man who is actually going to “make it work,” though I admire Haddish for thinking that maybe Drake wouldn’t be a moron and would actually take her—a famous person whose fame levels are on the rise—to dinner.
