Drake took to social media to introduce Sexyy Red as his “rightful wife,” sharing a photo of them backstage, where he planted a passionate kiss on her cheek while wrapping his arm around her. He also playfully warned others not to get too close, stating that his girl would not be happy if they were being “thirsty” around her.
Sexyy Red also shared the image on her Instagram, boasting about being a favorite rapper among her peers. Additionally, Drake shared a picture of himself kissing her cheek during the show while they were in the VIP section.
Janae Wherry, better known as Sexyy Red, rose to prominence at the beginning of the year with her hit song “Pound Town,” produced by Tay Keith. The track went viral on TikTok and sparked the popular #PoundTownChallenge. The sexually charged anthem also attracted the attention of Nicki Minaj, who collaborated on the remix, resulting in Sexyy’s first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Taking advantage of her newfound success, Sexyy Red released her project “Hood Hottest Princess” in June, featuring another catchy Tay Keith-produced track titled “SkeeYee.”
However, with her rapid rise to fame came some controversy. Earlier this month, Sexyy faced backlash for what many deemed an “inappropriate” performance at a high school. Critics took issue not only with the explicit content of her lyrics but also her use of gang signs and gestures like flipping the middle finger as she entered the gymnasium to greet enthusiastic students. The incident drew criticism and sparked discussions about the appropriateness of certain behaviors in educational settings.
