Over the years there have been many sayings why the past should always stay in the past. But Canadian rapper Drake once expressed his feelings in one of his songs. And the sentiments were for none other than actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, the ex-fiancée of former baseball player Alex Rodriguez.
The Canadian rapper had just turned thirty when he dated actress Lopez from December 2016 to February 2017. In a short time, they managed to create enough hype in the media that made headlines for several days.

Even their breakup and then the rapper’s lyrics that appear to have been generated from his real life created a buzz in social circles. It happened when Jennifer started dating Rodriguez after breaking up with Drake in February 2017.
What did Drake say about Jennifer Lopez?
Even though Jennifer entered into a relationship with the former baseball player, that didn’t stop the rapper from reminiscing about a few months he shared with the actress.
In the album “more life”, launched in March 2017, there was a song named “Free smoke.” It was in the lyrics of the song that the rapper opened up about his true feelings for actress-singer Jennifer Lopez.
The lyrics were, “I drank JLo text/Old numbers so I’m bouncing back.”
DIVE DEEPER
According to the lyrics, Drake did not have a new contact number for Lopez. From then on, his drunken texts used to bounce around. It didn’t matter how often he drunkenly texted her. However, one thing is for sure, if the texts had gone to the right number, her then-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez definitely wouldn’t have liked it.

Then the couple embarked on wedding planning and were set to tie the knot in the fall of 2020. But, as fate would have it, the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted their marriage. Their wedding date kept getting delayed, and with it, the problems between the couple kept growing. Which then ultimately led to their breakup in April 2021.
