In the ever-dramatic world of celebrity spats, Camila Cabello has jumped into the fray, defending none other than Drake from a wave of "frustrating" slander. The ex-Fifth Harmony starlet has spoken out amid the rapper's highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar, which has seen some seriously fiery exchanges.
For those out of the loop, Lamar recently took shots at Drake, accusing him of being a "certified paedophile," to which Drake fired back with a dig at Lamar’s partner: “You the black messiah wifing up a mixed queen.” The internet, predictably, went wild.
Cabello, who recently teamed up with Drake on her new album 'C,XOXO', featuring him on two tracks, couldn't stay silent any longer. In an interview with The Times, she described Drake as “such a delight,” lamenting the negative chatter surrounding him. “It’s so frustrating to see people talk about someone you know in a way that is negative. You’re like, ‘Dang, if only you guys could just have dinner or something.’”
The pop princess also dished on how she managed to nab Drake for her album. Turns out, it was a classic case of sliding into the DMs, not expecting much. “It’s like a weird teenage thing where I feel that nobody cares about me or likes me,” she confessed. “And it was fun to be proven wrong.”
Today (June 28), the singer unveiled her fourth studio album, "C,XOXO." One of the potential hits is the R&B track "Hot Uptown," a collaboration featuring Drake. On this stylish collaboration, Drake delivers some smooth vocals over a slick, contemporary beat that’s sure to be the soundtrack of the summer.
