Suede Brooks reflected on her relationship with Drake, claiming she he sent her threatening messages in the wake of their split.
“I was staying on my friend’s boat, and her father had hired Drake to come to the boat and throw a party in Saint-Tropez and Drake had never been to Saint-Tropez, and so he came on the boat, he came with his friends,” the Calabasas Confidential star, 25, alleged during a Sunday, June 28, appearance on Bunnie Xo’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast. “It was amazing. He’s such a great guy.”
Brooks continued, “When I met him, I was like, ‘Oh, this is so cool that he’s, like, coming on our boat and through, like, and performing at our party.’ But I feel like the narrative that was spun was, like, I kind of stepped onto his territory, and like I, when in reality it was like no, he came onto our program.”
Drake, 39, and Brooks were first romantically linked in July 2022 after being spotted together in Saint-Tropez.
“We dated … I would say, like, on and off for a few months,” Brooks recalled on Sunday. “I would go see him in Toronto, and then one day I was like, ‘I’m tired of this.’”
When the twosome ultimately called it quits, Brooks claimed that she felt afraid for her wellbeing.
“When we did end things, it was very … I was very scared for my safety,” she alleged. “And for a lot of things, for a long time living in LA, the things they said to me were very alarming. I was 21 or 22 at the time, and when you hear those things said to you coming from the most powerful artists in the world that has so much power and can do the unimaginable within the snap of a finger, it was very scary.”
Brooks claimed that she received threatening messages after their breakup as the result of a“miscommunication.”
“[I was] getting text messages that he’s gonna have bitches fold me up verbatim, that’s what he said,” she alleged. “I was like, for what? It was all miscommunication. He thought I was saying something that I didn’t. He thought I was talking like shit about him in LA when I never was.”
Brooks claimed that after she received the alleged messages she did not leave her “house for like three months,” afraid for her safety.
“I didn’t step outside, like I didn’t go out, at least, because I was scared, especially somebody of that power,” she said. “I know I’ve grown a lot from it, and I know he’s grown a lot from it. I think also during that time it was emotional for both of us, because it was just like a big miscommunication. But he is so talented.”
Brooks added that she dislikes talking about their split because she has a lot of admiration for Drake to this day.
“I hate bringing that stuff kind of back up but he is so talented, I know he has a great heart,” she said. “I wish him nothing but the best in his future. I hope he finds somebody that he loves and cherishes for the rest of his life. It wasn’t me, and it got to a point where it was almost like I physically and emotionally can’t give you what you need, so I’m gonna step away.”
Brooks added that she hasn’t “spoken to him in a minute” as she doesn’t like to talk to her exes after calling it quits.
“Like, once you lose me, I’m gone,” she said.
Us Weekly has reached out to Drake’s spokesperson for comment.
