Drake is slammed for using AirDrop to flirt with a stranger - but, do you think his behaviour is ‘creepy’?

Drake has been slammed across social media after revealing that he attempted to flirt with a stranger by sending her an unsolicited photograph of herself.

The Canadian rapper, 35, who has been enjoying a holiday in St Tropez, took to Instagram to gush about a woman that he spotted sitting at a table nearby.

“Tried to airdrop this woman a pic of herself cause she’s a dime,” Drake wrote, as he shared the snap of the unnamed blonde woman with his 118 million followers.

The beauty donned white chandelier earrings with a pink crop top and appeared to be concentrating on her phone, while joined by a male companion.

It is unknown if she accepted Drake’s AirDrop.

Fans swiftly took to Twitter, slamming the rapper’s attempt at flirting as “creepy” and have claimed that he is “abusing” his fame.

One person wrote: “I mean isn’t this.... invasion of privacy + creepy + abuse of fame?”

Another said: “Anyone else does this it’s super creepy but Drake does it & people think it’s fine…

“Super super creepy man”

A third commented: “Drake being famous doesn’t make this any less creepy.”

“BEYOND creepy!! Doesn’t matter that he’s Drake and the fact that he doesn’t see a problem with it is WORSE!! He didn’t have her consent to blast her photo out to his followers,” a fourth added.

Born in Toronto, Canada, on 24 October 1986, Aubrey Drake Graham found fame as an actor starring in “Degrassi: The Next Generation” as well as several adverts. However, he is perhaps best known for his musical talent after gaining global recognition with his mixtapes “Room for Improvement” and “So Far Gone”. The success of these releases led to his debut album “"Thank Me Later” in 2010, which had hits including “Find Your Love” and “Miss Me” featuring Lil Wayne.

The seasoned R&B and hip hop hitmaker has built a legion of loyal fans and surprised many with his seventh studio album “Honestly, Nevermind” in June 2022. It is unknown if Drake will tour this year to promote the release of the album, which features more dance influences than his previous projects. The 35-year-old’s last UK and Europe tour took place in 2019.

Drake went on to reveal that tension between them built up after not speaking for a long time. Throughout the years fans speculated that the pair were throwing jabs at each other using music. In 2021, the pair seemed to confirm that the feud was over as they took to social media to share photos taken together.
