‘A thing of ancient times’
Drake is entrusting his future to “God’s plan.”
The five-time Grammy winner recently discussed his love life and revealed why he has not yet gotten married.
During an appearance on “The Really Good Podcast with Bobbi Althoff,” Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, referred to marriage as “a thing of ancient times.”
He expressed uncertainty about whether he will eventually tie the knot, stating, “I don’t know, it seems like a thing of, like, ancient times or something. I think I will eventually. I don’t know, I don’t think I can offer somebody what they’d be looking for. Just consistency. I think my life, my work is my priority.”
When Althoff jokingly suggested that Drake avoids settling down to continue “sleeping around,” the rapper promptly dismissed the notion.
The “One Dance” artist explained that he is unable to offer consistency or commitment to a relationship at this stage in his life.
He further stated, “I don’t want to get married because I just don’t want to disappoint someone.”
Drake, who has been romantically linked to various A-list women such as Rashida Jones, Tyra Banks, SZA, Julia Fox, and Rihanna, expressed his belief that he cannot envision himself settling down with a fellow celebrity.
He shared, “I probably will not end up marrying someone famous. Famous people really aren’t that intriguing.”
When asked about the qualities he seeks in a significant other, Drake expressed his desire for someone who is an individual.
He explained, “I like somebody that’s, like, their own. They’re not just a carbon copy, someone that I’ve seen numerous times throughout my existence. I appreciate someone with a sense of humor. I like cosplay, you know?”
Althoff asked, “What do you want them to dress up as?”
Drake responded, “No, I don’t need them to dress up. I would probably be more interested in them if they are into cosplay. Not with me, just in general.”

Although Drake has never been engaged, he made headlines in December 2022 when he showcased a necklace featuring diamonds from engagement rings he had considered giving to women.
Jewelry designer Alex Moss described the necklace as “Previous Engagements,” representing the times Drake had thought about proposing but ultimately did not.
In the caption, Moss explained that the necklace consists of “42 engagement rings, totaling 351.38 carats in diamonds.”
The Grammy winner secretly fathered his son Adonis, who is now six years old, with French artist and former porn star Sophie Brussaux, who is 33.
After Pusha T claimed that Drake had a secret child with Brussaux, the rapper confirmed the news on his 2018 album “Scorpion.”

When Althoff quipped that Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, refuses to settle down in a bid to continue “sleeping around,” the rapper was quick to shut it down.

“I like somebody that’s, like, their own,” he explained. “They’re not just not like a carbon copy, like a person that I’ve seen a bunch of times throughout my existence. I like somebody with a sense of humor, you know? I like — I don’t know, like, cosplay.”
“What do you want them to dress up as?” Althoff asked.
”No, I don’t need them to [dress up] — I probably will f–k with them more if they are into cosplay,” he said. “Not with me, just like generally.”
