Toccara Jones Reveals How She Found Out Her and Melyssa Ford Were Dating Drake at the Same Time

The former ‘America’s Next Top Model’ contestant said no one would have known she and Drake dated if Ford didn’t brought it up in a past interview.

During a recent conversation with Carlos King, Toccara Jones opened up about her past relationship with Drake, revealing how she found out that she and Melyssa Ford were dating the Canadian rapper at the same time.

“You’ve never seen us together! No one’s ever seen us together, no one would have actually known that we dated if someone else wouldn’t have brought it out in an interview,” Jones said. That “someone” was Ford.

“No, actually, she had came over to my house one night, and she was talking about her new relationship or this relationship,” the former “America’s Next Top Model contestant recalled. “I was actually getting ready to go on a date with him, so she’s in my room. I’m getting dressed, and I’m about to go meet him. And it was always a little weird to me she came over. I mean, not weird, but it was, a little. It was just, I don’t know, coincidence? Let’s say ‘weird’ for lack of a better word.”

She continued, “But she was just telling me about her situation with the guy that she was dating and she went on to tell me it was Drake. Instead of me telling her right then and there, I wanted to go talk to him first. This wasn’t the first time that me and Melyssa was seeing or talking to the same guy. The first time, we handled it — ’cause it’s always girl code. I’m a girl’s girl. And I just decided to handle it a little different this time when she told me about Drake.”

Jones added that she decided to still go on her date with the “Rich Flex” hitmaker. “When I left from him, I drove over to her house, knocked on her door, and sat down and told her. [She took it] pretty calm. We just kind of looked at each other, you know, took some deep breaths. It was very calm, maybe shock, you know? It was civil. Nobody got mad, nobody screamed, nobody cried. It was just a girl’s conversation, you know. We just kind of compared notes, you know, and just put it on the table,” she said.
