Drake has received a response from Ayesha Curry over the bar he rapped about her on 2021’s Certified Lover Boy.
The lyric appeared on the CLB cut “Race My Mind.” Drizzy refers to Ayesha as the ultimate wifey material as he raps, “How I’m supposed to wife it?/ You not Ayesha enough.”

While appearing on an episode of Watch What Happens Live on Monday (March 11), Mrs. Curry said she was appreciative of the bar because it showed she’s respected as a great wife.
“I think I was dumbfounded,” she began. “I just – it’s one of those things. But that’s our family, so I think I was appreciative that they respect me so much that they think I’m a great wife. So I was appreciative.”
Drake has been a longtime supporter of Ayesha’s NBA superstar husband Steph Curry, and the couple were spotted in the crowd at one of the 6 God’s tour stops last summer.
“I got my brother in the building tonight. They say we look alike,” Drake told the crowd that night. “Make some noise for my brother Steph Curry in the building one time. And of course, the lovely Ayesha Curry. And mama bear, you know.”

Drake’s friendship with Steph Curry runs deep. He was once fined $500 by the Golden State Warriors for flying on the team plane with the point guard.
“We were flying to L.A. after our home game and we all got to the airport and Steph [Curry] and Draymond [Green] weren’t on the plane at the departure time,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr recalled in January 2021. “Steph said, ‘Oh my fault. I’m with Drake and Draymond and we’re at the arena still.’
“We had a team rule at the time that you could bring a friend on the plane a couple times a year. Unbeknownst to me, Steph decided to use one of his slots for Drake. So Drake got on the plane that night with Draymond and Steph and I fined all three of them for being late. Drake paid his $500 fine.”
Drake also rapped about “Golden State running practice at my house” on his 2016 song “Summer Sixteen.” Shortly after its release, Steph Curry confirmed there was some truth to the line.

“That got some real-life aspect to it,” he told SportsCenter at the time. “Me and my brother-in-law, I was playing one-on-one with him at Drake’s house. They were watching. They didn’t really shoot that much that day, but my brother-in-law got all that work, so that was good.”
