After several shares of steamy photos shared together Drake kissing rapper Chxyy Red, there was speculation that there is chemistry between the rappers
Drake seems to have been enthralled by the growing sensation of Chxyy Red. During the former's second consecutive performance at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Tuesday night (July 18), the two rappers shared an intimate moment during the "It's All a Blur Tour."
A heartfelt moment captured in a photograph that circulated on social media showed the Canadian star sharing a passionate kiss with the burgeoning St. Louis artist. Louis. With his arm affectionately around Red, Drizzy kissed her on the cheek. Meanwhile, Red reciprocated by gently cradling her face in her hand.
In his Instagram Stories, Drake shared his affection for the 25-year-old star, referring to her as his "lawful wife." He wrote, "Just met my lawful wife, [chxyy Red]." It was followed by a removed post warning about potential jealousy: "If my girl sees you backstage thirsty it's gonna get smoky."
In response, Red shared the intimate snapshot along with another playful image of Drake sticking out her tongue. Her caption read, "I'm your favorite rapper's favorite rapper."
Chxy Red has seen a meteoric rise to fame this year. Backed by production from Tay Keith, her song “Pound Town” kicked off the #PoundTownChallenge on TikTok with over 77 million views on the app. Later, a remix featuring Nicki Minaj propelled her further to Billboard Hot 100 fame. Capitalizing on her newfound stardom, Red released her mixtape Hood Hottest Princess in June, which also featured another hit titled “SkeeYee”.
Recently, the rapper came under fire after posting a video of her visiting a high school in her hometown. Many Twitter users cited her explicit lyrical content as a reason why the musician should not appear on school grounds.
In response, Red wrote: “I didn't introduce myself - it was prom week and I was there to provide the girls with hair braids and money for the boys' haircuts. It's because I remember needing help with my graduation stuff.
