If there is a celebrity involved, it will somehow link back to Drake.
He is like the 6 degrees of separation of the music industry. Anything that has happened in the last ten year, you can trace back to him.
It is a bizarre phenomenon, but it is true.
We are using Adele for this example. Adele breaks up with her husband, and she is out on the prowl when she runs into super-agent Rich Paul, and then this happens thanks to Drake.
When you’re an A-lister, dates tend to be sterile — NDAs, hiring out the whole restaurant. Still, she’s recently found ease, stability, and security with boyfriend Rich Paul, an agent for prominent athletes like LeBron James. Paul and Adele met on a dance floor at a mutual friend’s birthday party years ago. She doesn’t remember which song they danced to, but she assumes it was something by her close friend Drake. Mostly because the DJ was playing too much Drake that night: “I was like, ‘You should play something else. I love Drake. But you should play something else.’ ”
It was, in fact, Deuxmoi that broke the news of their relationship, telling the world before she was even able to tell the people in her life. “I didn’t really tell many of my friends at the beginning because I wanted to keep it to myself,” she admits. The first photos of them were at a discount mall. “None of them believed it!” For the record, she made a good sweep of the store that day. “Woo! I got loads in there,” she exclaims, with that signature open-throated cackle.
A week later, she reconnected with Paul and embarked on the most “incredible, openhearted, and easiest” relationship she’s ever been in. A relationship she finally felt comfortable enough to tell the world about, with a man she was proud to introduce to her son.
Hopefully, Adele and Paul work out long-term because if not, you might hear some songs about LeBron that will be uncomfortable to listen to on Adele’s next album.
