Kim Kardashian has officially put to rest the rumors swirling around her relationship with Canadian rapper Drake. In a statement released through her social media platforms today, Kardashian clarified the nature of her interactions with Drake, emphasizing that their relationship is strictly platonic.

“For years, speculative narratives have surrounded my interactions with Drake. It’s important to set the record straight,” Kardashian stated. “Drake has been a friend and a supportive figure, but there is no romantic involvement between us.”

The speculation gained momentum after Drake’s recent interview in which he admitted to advising Kardashian against reuniting with her ex-husband, Ye West, formerly known as Kanye West. This revelation led to widespread conjecture about the depth of Kardashian and Drake’s relationship, prompting fans and media outlets to probe for signs of a possible romance.

In her statement, Kardashian also expressed her frustration over how her friendships with male counterparts are often misconstrued. “It is disappointing that any expression of friendship or support results in rumors that distort the truth,” she remarked.

Kardashian’s clarity on the matter comes at a time when her personal life remains a focal point of public and media scrutiny, especially following her high-profile divorce from Ye West. The couple, who share four children, has been in the spotlight for both their co-parenting efforts and individual personal developments.

Additionally, Kardashian’s statement included a call for respect towards her personal decisions and those of her friends. “I hope this clarification respects not only my boundaries but also those of my friends,” she concluded.

With this official response, Kardashian aims to quell the rumors and shift the public focus back to her professional endeavors and advocacy work. Meanwhile, representatives for Drake have not issued any additional comments on the matter.
