The identity of the mysterious woman on Drake’s cover art has been revealed.
Drake’s new single “Search & Rescue” was released on Friday, but it wasn’t without controversy. The song not only features a sample of Kim Kardashian’s voice, but the artwork also features a Kim K look-alike.
The Toronto rapper is wearing a helmet, as is the mystery woman, whose eyes can be seen peeking out from behind her helmet. Many fans assumed the woman was Kim K because of the similarities in their facial features.

While she may resemble the Skims mogul, TMZ reports that the woman is actually Lilah, a singer and close friend of Drake. Drake has previously shown Lilah affection. In a December Twitch interview, he said he was listening to her album Atlantis and called her “one of my best friends in the world.”

Fans assumed Drake was mocking Kanye West by including a Kim soundbite from the 2021 season finale of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” in which she tells her mother Kris Jenner that she wants to divorce Kanye.
“I didn’t travel this far just to be unhappy. “Keep that in mind,” Kim says.

Despite internet speculation, Drake’s father stated that his son was not attempting to rekindle his feud with Ye.
“Drake isn’t trolling anyone, it’s just a song,” Dennis Graham commented on Instagram. “Why try to create another Kanye and Drake feud????????????????”
