She's got him in his feelings!
By Bernadette Giacomazzo — Written on Feb 20, 2020
Aubrey Drake Graham is probably the hottest rapper in hip hop right now — in more ways than one. With his kilowatt smile and effusive personality, Drake — as he's singularly known — knows how to get attention from the opposite sex. And he raps well, too.
So it's perhaps no surprise that Drake would allegedly be juggling several women at the same time. Shortly after rumors got out that Drake was seeing model Imaan Hammam, word got out that he was also getting cozy with a Toronto-based Instagram model named Lexus.
So, did Drake cheat on Imaan Hammam? Let's look at what we know about these accusations.
1. Did Drake cheat on Imaan Hammam? He was caught getting cozy with an Instagram model named Lexus.
A woman who goes by the name of Lexus posted a photo of herself with Drake on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas. Drake was again spotted with her on Valentine's Day at the Post Malone concert in Toronto where Drake was seen playing beer pong with the popular rapper, and Lexus was standing behind him. Though her Instagram page is now private — perhaps because rumors started circulating about the true nature of her relationship with Drake — another fan account uploaded their New Year's Eve photo together, wherein Lexus was giving Drake a kiss on the cheek, and Drake clearly seemed to be having a good time. You can check out the photo below.
2. Just one month later, he was seen out and about with Imaan Hammam.
On February 8, 2020, Drake escorted Hammam to the premiere of the Frame capsule launch at the Chinese Tuxedo restaurant in New York City. Needless to say, they immediately got all the attention — even though Hammam was there promoting her new line with the clothing company. Their appearance together sparked dating rumors, of course.
3. He was later spotted leaving Hammam's apartment.
Just a few hours before her New York Fashion Week appearance, Drake and Hammam hung out at her New York City apartment. Intrepid paparazzi snapped the "Hotline Bling" rapper leaving Hammam's apartment before appearing at the Frame capsule launch show, and the couple was getting quite "handsy" with one another.
4. Are Hamman and Drake more than just friends?
More than a few people spotted Drake and Hammam together at the Frame capsule show, and said that they looked like a lot more than "just friends." "They were so cute together. They were hanging out together at the dinner, took pictures — he had his arm around her. [It] definitely looks more friendly than just friends," said one source.
5. What about Rihanna?
Just one month before hooking up with Hammam — and just one month after hooking up with Lexus — Drake was seen linking back up with his former flame, Rihanna, at the Yams Day Show in New York. Their reunion came just one week after it was confirmed that Rihanna had split from longtime fiancé Hassan Jameel. However, despite everyone's greatest hopes of a Rihanna and Drake romantic reunion — especially given the gorgeous success of "Take Care" by the former pair — sources close to Drake and Rihanna confirmed that they were just friends, and not dating one another.
6. Are they even dating?
All of this, of course, is based on peculation that Drake and Hammam are even dating in the first place. As of this writing, neither Drake nor Hamaam have confirmed that they're a couple, or anything else — and wwe'll definitely keep you posted if that changes in the future.
