Right after dropping his album, "Views," Drake has revealed that he's moved on from Nicki Minaj to Rihanna. However, rumors claim that Drake is still in love with Nicki Minaj, so what's the real deal here and where does Rihanna come in?
As it turns out, Drake had a lot to share with Zane Lowe on Thursday night for Beats 1's OVO Radio. So instead of boring you with details, here is a round up of what went down when Drake spoke up about his relationship with Rihanna, as well as his current one with Nicki Minaj:
1. Drake & Nicki Minaj's Strained Relationship
Sad to say, Nicki Minaj caught herself stuck in the crossfires while Drake was feuding with Birdman and Lil Wayne. Apparently, this was a factor as to why Nicki Minaj and Drake aren't on speaking terms anymore.
"I don't really talk to Nicki," Drake revealed. The "Views" singer revealed that in spite of their current situation, he remains to have a lot of love and respect for her, even with the situation at hand.
"I understand what love is, and I understand a personal situation," continued Drake. "She dealt with me how I would expect her to, which was with class, and I could only ever do the same."
2. But Drake Still Loves Nicki Minaj
According to Hollywood Life, Drake revealed how important Nicki Minaj is to him. This has lead to reports speculating that Meek Mill might have to prove himself worthy of Nicki Minaj's heart - or else Drake might take it away.

"I always have respect and love for Nicki," Drake told Zane Lowe, as per Vulture. "There were points in time where I was waiting to see like, how is this going to go, how deep is your love, you know?"
Here's the killer heartbreaking line too: "Unfortunately, we haven't spoke, but it is what it is, even if we don't speak, she knows what it is, it's always love," Drake said.
3. What About Rihanna?
Many have long speculated if Drake and Rihanna were dating, given their chemistry when collaborating - in fact, the heat was undeniable in Rihanna's "Work" music video. However, the reality is not what people want to hear.
Explaining how he and Rihanna simply just make a good team, Drake revealed that his relationship with Rihanna involves "genuine energy." Not just that, but Drake also defended their relationship against allegations that their relationship is a fake.
"It's something genuine there. We're not forcing some story on people," Drake said. "A lot of the music that we make and the energy that we bring is genuine."
Aside from Rihanna's recent single, "Work," Drake and the "Song of the Summer" singer also collaborated on a track for "Views." E! Online reported that Drake and Rihanna teamed up on "Too Good" after finishing up on Rihanna's "Work."
