Annie Mac has called out Drake for lyrics on his new album that appear to be about Rihanna. For all dogs.
In the track “Fear of Heights,” Drake, 36, appears to reference the singer’s latest album, “Diamonds.” Antiraps, “I’m against it, I’m against it / Yeah, and sex with you was normal / Yeah, I’m against it ’cause I had it with you.”
Drake and Rihanna, 35, dated on and off between 2009 and 2016.
Irish DJ Mac, 45, discussed the lyrics with Nick Grimshaw, 39, on the latest episode of their podcast. Distracted by Annie and Nick.
Grimshaw said: “So he rates their sex life together as average.”
To which Mac responded: “Sorry, I refuse to believe that sex with Rihanna is average. I can’t, I won’t accept this as an idea. She is the sexiest woman alive.
“So if sex with Rihanna is average for you, maybe turn the mirror on yourself, mate. Because she wasn’t in it because she doesn’t like you. And this is a common thread: Rihanna was never into Drake. He was a nasty person, what I call a ‘nausea’… when someone is just trying too hard.”
