Jhene Aiko and Drake Relationship: Young Money Rapper's Girlfriend Says He is Her "Soulmate"
Jhené Aiko recently dispelled the rumors that she's pregnant with Drake's first child, but she isn't doing a great job of hushing the gossip up about her and the "Take Care" rapper being "just friends!"
According to Vibe Magazine, the R&B songstress and songwriter -- whose single, "The Worst," got her the distinction of her first Billboard 100 hit (it's currently at number 87) -- recently stopped by the radio station Power 106 on a pit stop for the Valentine's Crush concert in Los Angeles.
"I think that he's probably like my musical soulmate," she said in the interview. "Our voices compliment each other -- our writing styles, all of that. I would love to do a full project with him. I think that would be dope."
Aiko, who also recently performed "Nothing Else Matters" on Conan O'Brien's late-night talk show on TBS, began her career being known as "Lil' Fizz's cousin," however she is not actually related to him. It was used as a marketing tool suggested by Sony and Epic to promote her through the R&B group B2K and attract an audience, though Aiko later affirmed that she and Lil' Fizz grew up together and were close like family. On Dec. 16, 2011, Aiko signed a recording contract with American record producer No I.D.'s record label Artium, distributed through Def Jam Recordings. She has been described as having gentle and pop-tinged vocals.
While Aiko isn't pregnant with Drake's child, she does have a daughter: at the age of 20, Aiko became pregnant by American R&B singer O'Ryan and gave birth to her daughter Namiko on Nov. 19, 2008. Before losing her brother Miyagi to cancer on July 19, 2012, Jhené Aiko recorded "For My Brother" on her laptop, which was initially intended only for her brother's ears. He passed away soon after hearing the record.
