SZA confirms dating Drake in 2008

American music star, SZA has confirmed dating Drake in 2008 after he rapped about it in a new song.

Drake made the revelation in “Mr. Right Now”, a song off Savage Mode 2 the new album by 21 Savage and Metro Booming. In his verse on Mr Right Now, Drake rapped “Yeah, said she wanna f*ck to some SZA, wait/Cause I used to date SZA back in ’08/If you cool with it, baby, she can still play.” 

SZA has now confirmed that she and Drake dated in the late 2000s and further revealed that Drake did take some "poetic rap license" in the verse. She added that they dated in 2009 when she was 18 and it was completely innocent. 

She tweeted “So It was actually 2009 lol.. in this case a year of poetic rap license mattered lol I think he jus innocently rhymed 08 w wait. Anybody who really knows me and was around during this time can confirm.. it’s all love all peace I just didn’t want anybody thinking anything underage or creepy was happening. Completely innocent. Lifetimes ago”
