The 30-year-old is sparking unfounded romance rumors after he shared an Instagram pic with iconic Sade, 58, following his London Boy Meets World concert. In a black and white photo he posted Mar. 21, he is smiling from ear to ear while the “The Sweetest Taboo” songstress leans in to his left shoulder while he protectively keeps an arm around her.

Drake, popularly called Drizzy, revealed that he once had a chance to work with Sade early in his career, but he wasn’t a big enough star to collaborate with her at the time. When hee appeared on University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari‘s Coach Cal podcast in Feb. and was asked which artist he’d like to work with the most and his answer was Sade!
“I got an amazing opportunity early early on in my career to work with Sade on a remix to one of her songs. And I was THIS CLOSE to being on it but at that point in my career, she went and put Jay Z on it—which obviously is, you know, understandable. But that was always one for me where I was like, ‘uhhh, I missed that.’ My star wasn’t there yet for her to hear me out,” he said.
The Take: the picture seems to be all smoke but no fire – no romance
