Drake’s ‘Falling Back’ Wife Explains How She Landed Role In Video

Drake had more than a few wives in the music video for his his Honestly, Nevermind cut “Falling Back,” and now one of the women is sharing the story of their time on set.

In a new interview with The Comfortable Pod, model Riley Simpson detailed the five-day shoot that went down during the pandemic and described Drake as “the coolest person.” However, there are many women from the set who she says had quite a different experience, as they got sent home for a myriad of reasons.

“I was there for five days, and honestly, Drake was the coolest person,” Riley said. “Like, he was listening. We could be across the room like, ‘I’m hungry,’ and he’d be like, ‘What do you want to eat?’ But you couldn’t pull your phone out. You weren’t allowed to record anything, you weren’t allowed to take pictures in your dress, nothing”

She continued: “And if you did, you would go home. So there were girls that got sent home on day one. then he would take us to dinner and lunch every single day, full bar, everything. There were girls that would get too fucked up – sent home. There were girls that made fun of his hair – sent home. They made fun of his hair! We’re getting paid a shit ton of money, by the way.”

In other news, Drake has been accused of disrespecting The Weeknd in an old clip that was released as part of the 6 God’s latest 100 Gigs drop.

In the video, which is from OVO Fest in 2013, Drizzy can be seen warmly embracing a number of people backstage but awkwardly ignores The Weeknd as the two appear cold towards each other.

It isn’t until the end of the almost minute-long clip that Drake finally appears to acknowledge the XO singer and appears to dap him up, although the footage cuts off before it shows their exchange.

The 6 God was criticized by many for his behavior in the clip, with one commenting: “I hate this type of passive aggressive behavior. Tryna alienate one person by engaging with everyone else around them. Invading their personal space while refusing to acknowledge them.. standing hella close & then looking like.. oh, hey there pal.. that’s how they try to son you.”

Another remarked: “Yep you can definitely feel the tension,” while a third user called Drake a “snake.”

The two Canadian superstars have had a long and complicated history over the last 10-plus years.

The Weeknd first started to gain attention after his songs such as “The Morning” were posted by Drake on his blog, with the two collaborating soon after on “The Zone” and several songs from Drizzy’s Take Care album including “Crew Love.”

Things appeared to sour between the duo after The Weeknd opted not to sign with Drake’s OVO Sound label, instead partnering with Republic Records which also backed his XO imprint.

The Weeknd recently referenced his decision to not sign with Drizzy on Metro Boomin and Future‘s “All to Myself.”

Drake responded with several lines aimed at The Weeknd and his team on his diss tracks “Push Ups” and “Family Matters.”
