Fact Check: Did Drake Sleep With Pokimane, How Did the Rumor Even Start?

The Moroccan-Canadian online streamer Pokimane is having her name linked to one of the music industry’s biggest artists, Drake. Why? Well, some believe that Drake and Pokimane, aka Imane Anys, have slept together. But just how much truth is in that statement?

To answer that question, let’s take a look at how the rumor began in the first place. In one of her TikTok videos, Anys spilled the tea on how an engaged man slid into her DMs and got exposed.
