Drake’s highly anticipated album “Nothing Was The Same” is set to be released on Tuesday, and the rapper has been making the usual media outlet rounds. But talk show host Ellen Degeneres wanted to talk about something other than music. The always-funny Degeneres asked Drake to play a game where he describe his relationships with women he’s been rumored to be linked with.

According to mtv.com:

“DeGeneres ran through a list of some A-list starlets and singers he’s been romantically linked with since rising up the ranks of hip-hop. The discussion was met with some awkward laughing from the rapper, who eventually warmed up to the quiz and candidly opened up about his personal life.

“DeGeneres kicked it off with a photo of Rihanna, whom Drake has been linked with on and off since 2009. ‘Yeah, great girl. We had our moment and I always support and have love for her,’ he said. As he stumbled through his answer a bit, DeGeneres asked him if he wanted to answer it again. He quipped, ‘I’m not into do-overs.'”

Ellen quizzed Drake about television producer Tyra Banks,  actress Kat Dennings and rapper Nicki Minaj. Drake said that he’s been on a few dates with some of the women, but he’s now single. “They don’t call me back after one date.”

Drake’s Nothing Was The Same album has been leaked all over the Internet this week, but its official release is Sept. 24.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
