Woman Who Drake Kissed Onstage When She Was 17 Speaks Out: “It Was Nothing Then and Still Nothing Now”. Days after Kendrick Lamar called Drake a “certified pedophile” in his mic-drop rant, “Not Like Us,” a resurfaced video woman will clarify.The viral footage is from Drake’s 2010 Colorado performance. The 23-year-old rapper dances with the girl onstage while kissing her neck. He pauses and replies, “You’ll have to get me carried away again. Such behavior gets me in trouble.” She answers 17 when he asks her age.
Drake looks shocked and replies, “Man, I can’t go to jail yet. 17, why look like that? You thick, see this.”
The alleged victim, Tia Jayed, addressed the 14-year-old video on Instagram. Shared headlines with “nothing then & it’s nothing now ♀️.”
Jayed recounts the events in a longer statement. She remembers her father taking her to the performance and Drake’s entourage picking her, as musicians often do.
“I was 17 then and I’m 31 now,” she adds. I went to this concert with my dad in high school. Drake’s entourage chose me from the crowd, not Drake. Nothing then, nothing now.”
Drake’s interactions with younger women are scrutinized. His friendships with Billie Eilish and Millie Bobby Brown when they were under 18 and taking then-18-year-old Bella Harris to dinner after knowing her since preteenhood are examples.
Drake responded to the claims in “The Heart Part 6,” saying, “I never been with anyone underage but now I get why this the angle that you really mess with…if I was fucking young ladies, I swear I’d have been arrested.”
The rediscovered footage of Drake kissing a 17-year-old fan onstage has caused new controversy after Kendrick Lamar’s diss tune and insinuations about his interactions with younger women. However, Tia Jayed, the video’s subject, claims the interaction was harmless and consensual.
Jayed’s honest reaction shows that she attended the concert with her father and was approached by Drake’s entourage. Her claim that “nothing then and still nothing now” disproves any misconduct. Jayed hopes to clarify her relationship with Drake by sharing her story.
The video’s emergence has rekindled questions regarding Drake’s behavior and relationships with minors, notably Billie Eilish and Millie Bobby Brown. Drake denies the charges in his latest diss track, “The Heart Part 6.” Drake explicitly denies wrongdoing with minors in the song and questions the motives behind such accusations.
