Drake’s interest seems reignited as Kim Kardashian showcased her charm at a pre-Oscars dinner, sharing her moment on Instagram with one of his new tracks.
The sight of Kim Kardashian in a vintage Chanel dress, living her best life at a pre-Oscars dinner, was enough to grab everyone’s attention this past weekend. But what made this moment even more captivating was the background music of her choice – a song from Drake’s latest album, created alongside PARTYNEXTDOOR.
This unexpected post on Kim’s social media account caught the rapper’s eye, leading him to share the same sultry video on his own less-known Instagram handle, @plottttwistttttt. As if to add a layer of cheeky humor, he paired it with a goat emoji, further fueling interest and speculation.
The story behind these nods of mutual appreciation goes back years. Once shadowed by rumors of a secret romance while Kim was married to Kanye West, the rumors were supposedly fueled by the latter, who even brought them up during discussions with her mother, Kris Jenner.
On an episode of ‘The Kardashians,’ Kim revealed how hurtful these accusations were and how they impacted her marriage with Kanye. She opened up about feeling betrayed, saying, “He was the one that started a rumor that said I was hooking up with Drake, having an affair. Our full marriage, he accused me of that publicly.”
Kanye, on the other hand, has admitted to confronting Drake over these claims, as he recounted in a fiery 2021 interview, “I had this conversation with Drake that’s like, ‘I never fucked Kim.’ But I was like, ‘But you acted like you did,’ referring to suggestive verses in the song ‘Sicko Mode.’
Despite these heated moments, neither star was willing to confirm or deny anything publicly. Curiously, the story resurfaced in the summer of 2023 when both Drake and Kim crossed paths during his Los Angeles tour. A video showing them in the same vicinity, with Kim giving Drake a noticeable smile, went viral soon after.
Another moment from the same event that caught the internet’s attention was Kim’s excited participation in Drake’s song ‘Search & Rescue,’ which sampled a conversation about her divorce with Kanye, taken from ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians.’
This recent social media exchange between Kim and Drake has certainly revived public interest, building on their history and the musical collaborations that seem to link them together now more than ever.
Could this be a playful exchange between music and reality TV royalty, or much ado about nothing? Only time will tell.
