Joe Budden Thinks Drake Is Paid to Promote Sexyy Red
It’s no secret that Drake has an affinity for Sexyy Red. From lavishing her with expensive gifts and recently appearing in her “Get It Sexyy” music video, Drizzy has been showing a huge amount of support for the St. Louis rapper.
On the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, which aired last Thursday (March 28) on YouTube, Joe theorized on why Drake is constantly promoting Sexyy Red. The podcast king believes the Toronto rap superstar is being paid to promote Red.
While discussing whether Drake will respond to Kendrick Lamar who dissed him on Future and Metro Boomin’s track “Like That,” Joe subtly suggested that Drizzy may be getting paid off the success of other rappers’ deals, a practice that Joe believes could explain Drake’s frequent appearances in Sexyy Red’s music videos and his consistent public support for her.
“Quick real, quick real quick you said this ‘paid on somebody’s deal’ is this confirmed or this is just some inside s**t that you saying?” asked TJBP co-host Trevor “Queenzflip” Robinson at the 2-hour mark in the video below.
“Oh you think he [Drake] just likes being around Sexyy Red,” Joe responded.

Drake’s Love for Sexyy Red Is Costing Him Big Bucks
Joe Budden’s hot take aside, in a remarkably short period, Drake and Sexyy Red have formed an enduring tight bond. On the surface, their relationship blurs the lines between romantic and platonic. But it appears to be more of the latter.
Drake first showed love to Sexyy Red in July of 2023, shortly before his performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center as part of his It’s All a Blur Tour. The pair were photographed getting incredibly cozy backstage. Since then, they have both openly shown their support for each other.
Although it’s unclear whether Drake’s public displays of affection toward Sexxy Red are part of a promotional campaign or it’s merely platonic, but the nature of their relationship reveals a deep mutual admiration. And we need to see more of that among rappers in hip-hop.
