In his most recent album release, “For All The Dogs,” on Friday, October 6th, 2023, Drake appears to have dedicated a track titled “Fear Of Heights” to his one-time love interest, Rihanna. The song’s lyrics convey a message suggesting that the rapper is dispelling claims of still holding feelings for her.
Known for his suggestive and emotionally charged music, Drake bluntly stated that he is grateful for not being the chosen one in Rihanna’s life. He even candidly declared that the intimate experiences they shared were average. The lyrics read-
“Ayy, ayy, look Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you? That could never be Gyal can’t ruin me Better him than me Better it’s not me I’m anti, I’m anti Yeah, and the sex was average with you Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you Okay, I’m auntie like your daddy sister Auntie like a family picture And I had way badder bitches than you, TBH Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can’t leave you Y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antilles”
Although he does not explicitly mention Rihanna’s name, it strongly implies that he might be addressing her, especially considering Drake’s known struggles to move on from Rihanna and her new relationship with fellow music artist, A$AP Rocky.
The chemistry between Rihanna and Drake has been evident from their collaboration in the track “Take Care,” which then escalated into a sizzling sync on Rihanna’s popular track, “Work.”
Opinions on this new musical revelation vary. Some argue that Drake needs to let go of the past and move on from the Rihanna issue, while others believe he’s simply expressing himself through his art.
