After years of facing criticism for his friendship with teenage actress Millie Bobby Brown, it seems Drake has finally addressed his critics.
The rapper, 36, verified the name Stranger Things star, 19, in the lyrics to her new song “Another Late Night” in what appears to be a diss towards those who question their friendship, which dates back to 2017.
“Freaks in my comments talking about some Millie Bobby, look/Bring them jokes to the gang, we’re really gonna get together,” he says on the song. “Or send your mom a finger in some FedEx boxes/Open that s—, jaw dropping, really shocking.'”
The song on his new album For all dogsit comes six years after Drake and Brown first met in November 2017 backstage at one of the rapper’s concerts in Australia.

Months after they met, Brown, who was 14 at the time, revealed that Drake had extended an invitation to the show and that the two were “talking all the time.”

In September 2018, he offered further insight into their friendship, saying Access to Hollywood that the star – himself a former child actor – is “so fantastic and a great friend and a great role model.”
“We were just texting the other day and he said, ‘I miss you so much.’ I thought, ‘I miss you even more!'” she said. “He’s coming to Atlanta so I’ll definitely go see him. I am so excited. As for the boy, he helps me. He’s great, he’s wonderful. I love him.”
The interview, in which Brown revealed that Drake was giving her dating advice, came under fire due to the 17-year age gap between the two, and shortly after, the actress appeared to respond to the criticism in several statements she shared on her Instagram Story, according to the screenshots he posted Cosmopolitan.
