In latest celebrity news, Drake unveiled his long-awaited playlist project “More Life” this past weekend. The 30-year-old rapper from Toronto gave fans a 22-track playlist through OVO Sound Radio. To no surprise to his fans, Drake starts his playlist with a reference to his most recent ex, Jennifer Lopez. The opening track, “Free Smoke,” suggests that Lopez changed her number without notifying her ex. In the song, Drake raps “I drunk text J.Lo / Old number, so it bounce back.” According to UsMagazine.com, the couple had split after just two months of dating, claiming their relationship had “died down a bit” shortly after the start of Drakes European tour. Clearly Drake had his 47-year-old ex on his mind throughout the formation of his whole playlist. Further down on the track list, he samples Lopez’s 1999 hit “If You Had My Love” in his appropriately titled song “Teenage Fever.” Not long after going public as a celebrity couple in December, Drake and J Lo hinted the possibility of a collaboration. After listening to his new track, Drake’s fans are disappointed to see the song “Get It Together” on the playlist, with vocals replaced by Jorja Smith. We see that Drake is dealing with his break up the best way he knows how, by referencing it in his music.
This celebrity news has us lamenting the passing of this high profile relationship. What are some ways to help yourself get over a recent break-up?
