Drake he has a lot of ex-girlfriends, and now they are unionized - at least they Saturday night life. Master Keke Palmer and Drake’s “tingz” cast joined each other to do a PSA about the rapper and how they were used in his songs, even though they were hardly his “ex”. Some were just his waitress at PF Chang’s or called him about a car warranty and yet somehow it became part of the song.
The PSA simply states that you can be one of the “tingz” if you’ve been involved in one of Drake’s songs in any way, even if you just met him at a club. It was fun to watch the actors Ego Nvodim, Punky Johnson, Heidi Gardner, Sarah Sherman, as well as Chloe Fineman everyone stood up to tell their stories about how they connected with Drake in one way or another. For the most part, it seems like no one has actually dated him, but the rapper needs little more than a short chat to include you in one of his songs.
The skit climaxes when Palmer talks about why she’s here and how she’s connected to the tingz. Don’t worry, she’s not the character that actually dated Drake - instead, she’s just really Keke Palmer, and her reason to be angry is because of the song “In My Feelings”, which has the lyrics “Keke, you love me ? in song.
What this outline boils down to is that if you were part of a Drake song, you may be eligible for financial compensation and you may find peace with the other women of the United Tingz of Aubrey. It was funny to hear them call Drake “Aubrey” several times, because for those who remember his time on degrassiwe remembered him as “Aubrey Graham” long before he was known as Drake.
But this PSA is a warning: if you go to a club, you might be part of the song. If you go to any Nobu place, you can also become one of the “tingz”. Personally, what I like the most is that Nwodom says she left a voice message on Drake’s phone about a late car payment, which somehow made her a new character in his song when he listened to the voice message. It was funny and great, but maybe we should all stop singing “In My Feelings” in Palmer.
