He previewed several new songs\u00a0that had fans buzzing on social media. On one song, which is reportedly called &#8220;Supermax,&#8221; Drake spoke about a woman named Taylor who gave him some advice during a night out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">&#8220;I was talking to Taylor over drinks, and it was getting deep \/ &#8216;Not everyone can handle this pressure and, in the city, you&#8217;re the national treasure,&#8217; that&#8217;s what she said to me,&#8221; Drake raps on the song. Shortly after the livestream aired, popular sports journalist Taylor Rooks posted an Instagram Story that did not leave much room for doubt as to who Drake was referring to. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Rooks shared a screenshot of the\u00a0ICEMAN stream to her own Instagram Story with the caption, &#8220;That&#8217;s what she said to me,&#8221; directly quoting the line from the song. Her post caused fans to speculate on the nature of their relationship. <\/p>\n<p>Drake Taylor Rooks Relationship<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Fans also speculated that former X\/Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey&#8217;s posts about Drake during his battle with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/kendricklamar\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Kendrick Lamar<\/a> stemmed from this friendship, which Taylor Rooks herself has routinely called nothing more than a friendship. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Drake made headlines on Friday for his livestream, which marked the beginning of the ICEMAN rollout. He officially dropped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/926336-drake-what-did-i-miss-stream\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">&#8220;What Did I Miss?&#8221;<\/a> when the stream concluded, where he seemingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/926337-drake-disses-lebron-james-new-song-what-did-i-miss-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">dissed LeBron James for a second time<\/a>. He also made more allusions to last year&#8217;s battle, which continues to remain one of the biggest stories in hip-hop thanks to Drake&#8217;s ongoing defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group pertaining to &#8220;Not Like Us.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">As for the relationship between Drake and Taylor Rooks, they have not spoken on it beyond being close friends, and fans should take them at their word. Drake is a huge basketball fan, so it is not surprising that he rubs shoulders with popular personalities in basketball media. Rooks last worked for TNT Sports as part of their NBA on TNT coverage. Since TNT lost the rights to broadcast NBA games ahead of the 2025-26 season, it will be interesting to see where she goes next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Friday (July 4), Drake\u00a0livestreamed the first episode of his new ICEMAN series, which is part of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":43975,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[4662,34277,171,2260,975,50,62,1458,34278,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-43974","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-drake","9":"tag-drake-taylor-rooks-friendship","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-hip-hop-news","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-sports-news","16":"tag-taylor-rooks","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114807645472964597","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
