Drake has huge praise for Sexyy Red.

Drake gave a birthday shout-out to Sexyy Red on Instagram, this week, as she turned 26. In doing so, he crowned her the greatest of all time. "More life to my goat," Drake captioned a photo of Sexyy. When The Neighborhood Talk shared the post, fans had mixed responses to their friendship.

"To have a Nicki & Drake co-sign is huge!!! Ik she’s loving this support," one fan commented. Another accused Drake of using Sexyy for relevancy. "He uses her for clout, Drake mastered riding waves and peoples popularity his whole career but yea they get a even trade off," they argued.

Fans aren't the only ones who have complained about Drake and Sexyy's friendship. Joe Budden recently accused Drake of taking advantage of her fame as well. "You think he just likes being around Sexyy Red that much? I could name some more people. And this is what I don't understand about you f*cking Drake stans," he said on his podcast. Sexyy responded to that criticism on Twitter by sharing a video of herself dancing on Drake with the caption: "Tell @JoeBudden dis what drake like."
