Keshia Chanté, an actress and singer, is the inspiration for the character 'KiKi' from Drake's song 'In My Feelings.' Chanté was also Drake's first love interest.
“This next person coming to the stage, I used to get in my mom’s car, and I used to drive all the way to the west for this one right here, you feel me? So, I have to personally introduce her,” Drake said proudly towards the crowd.
During the 2022 OVO Fest, Drake came out and affirmed their relationship. Drake was really happy to proclaim his first-ever love as he said, “This is my first girlfriend I ever had in my life. A real legend, somebody I love with all of my heart. Make some noise for Keisha Chante.”
Keisha posted an appreciation for Drake through Instagram. Her caption was very grateful as it says, “I’ve never seen the city come together like that! It was everything. A dream only [Drake] could make true. The most heartfelt & meaningful introduction I’ve ever had. Aubs, I love you for life.”
Both of them had romances that went all the way back to the middle of the 2000s. Even if Keisha was not his last girlfriend, the two of them are delighted to maintain their connection and be one other's source of encouragement.
