The Women Drake Likes to Rap About

He doesn't only sings to the ladies, he rhymes about them.

A Ladies' Man Emcee - Drake has so carefully carved out his lane as a ladies' man, that even when Jay Z called him out for some good ol' fashioned beefing, the OVO head honcho opted instead to name check another "J" — Jennifer Lawrence — in his latest freestyle, "Draft Day." It's par for Drizzy's lyrical course, whether the women are famous already (J-Law, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj), or famous because he made them that way (like Courtney from Hooters). Read on for a look at some of Drake's muses.(Photos: Jason Kempin/Getty Images; Chelsea Lauren/Getty Images for Time Warner Cable; Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
Jennifer Lawrence - In "Draft Day," a freestyle Drake dropped on April Fools' Day (joke's on us?), he flips a Hunger Games metaphor into a direct line to the movie's star. "On some Hunger Games s--t I would die for my district/ Jennifer Lawrence you can really get it/ I mean for real, girl you know I had to do it for yah/ You know I had to do it for yah/ You know I had to."(Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
Alisha - A former classmate of Drake's was first mentioned in "Successful," featuring Lil Wayne and Trey Songz, off his So Far Gone EP ("Back when I was trying to put a ring on Alisha hand..."), and then again on "Shot for Me" off his Take Care LP. ("Now you're trying to find somebody to replace what/ I gave to you/ It's a shame you didn't keep it/ Alisha, Catya, I know that yo.")(Photo: Courtesy of October's Very Own)Bria Myles - Drake's link to model Bria Myles became topic of public conversation with "Bria's Interlude," featuring Omarion, off So Far Gone. "I was smitten over this girl from L.A. and I started writing a song about her," he explained to MTV about the track. "A lot of the R&B [I do] is really based off women that come into my life and inspire me to speak to them in song and say what I never would expose on just a talking level."(Photo: Bria Myles via Instagram)
