Tinashe had a very quick answer when one recent interview question turned unexpectedly personal.
During an appearance on the Instagram-based show Gaydar, the “Nasty” singer was asked which straight artist she wishes was gay — and apparently, she didn’t need much time to think about it.
“Drake,” Tinashe responded.
She then doubled down with an enthusiastic, “Come on, Drake!”
The short exchange quickly caught attention online thanks to both the unexpected question and Tinashe’s immediate response.
Tinashe Picks Drake Without Hesitation
Guest host Cherry Jaymes posed the question to Tinashe during the interview, asking her to name a straight artist she wished was gay.
Tinashe immediately went with the Toronto superstar.
There wasn’t a long explanation behind her choice, but her reaction made the moment even funnier to fans watching the clip.
Drake has, of course, become the subject of countless jokes and memes surrounding his dating life and lyrics over the years, making Tinashe’s answer even more likely to spark conversation online.
Drake Has Previously Played With the Joke in His Music
The moment also reminded some fans of a lyric Drake delivered on his 2023 PARTYNEXTDOOR collaboration “Members Only.”
On the track, Drake jokingly compares his closeness with a woman to feeling like she is “one of the guys.”
The line became another example of Drake leaning into humor and playful language surrounding relationships in his music.
Tinashe’s comment, however, appeared to be nothing more than a lighthearted answer to a playful interview question.
Tinashe Is Preparing to Release ‘Popstar’
The viral interview moment arrives as Tinashe gears up for another major release.
Her upcoming album Popstar is scheduled to arrive on September 25.
The project includes singles such as “Too Easy,” “Melatonin” and “Crash Out.”
Tinashe has continued building momentum following the success of “Nasty,” which helped introduce another wave of listeners to the singer while becoming a major viral hit.
Now, she is preparing to turn that attention toward a full new era.
Fans React to Tinashe’s Unexpected Drake Answer
It didn’t take much for the clip to start making the rounds.
Between the blunt question and Tinashe’s immediate answer, the interview delivered exactly the type of short, unexpected celebrity moment that quickly spreads across social media.
And judging by her “Come on, Drake!” response, Tinashe clearly wasn’t shy about her pick.
