    Drake responded to criticism over his friendship with “Stranger Things” actor Millie Bobby Brown on a track from his new album “For All The Dogs.”

    Drake, 36, name-dropped the “Enola Holmes” star, 19, on the track “Another Late Night,” calling out “weirdos” making “jokes” about his friendship with the actor.

    “Weirdos in my comments talkin’ ’bout some Millie Bobby, look,” he raps. “Bring them jokes up to the gang, we get to really flockin’ / Or send a finger to your mama in some FedEx boxes / Open up that shit, it’s jaw droppin’, really shockin’,” the song continues.

    Brown revealed in 2018 that she and the rapper had been regularly texting each other since meeting in Australia the year before. At the time, Brown was just 14 years old.

    Speaking to Access Hollywood, Brown said that the “God’s Plan” artist was “a great friend and a great role model” who would text her advice about “boys.” She declined to say what exactly Drake would text her, saying: “That stays in the text messages.”

    After people began to question their relationship, Brown defended it in an Instagram story, saying it was “weird” to “make a lovely friendship ur headline.”

    She added that it was “nice to have people who understand what I do” and said she was “lucky to have people in the business extend their time to help me further my career and offer their wisdom and guidance.”

    Canadian-born rapper Drake released his hotly-anticipated eighth studio album on October 6. The 23-track album features collaborations with Bad Bunny, SZA, 21 Savage, J. Cole, and more.

    It also features several samples of other songs, but both Pet Shop Boys and rapper Rye Rye have accused Drake of using their music without asking for permission.

    The British pop-synth duo stated on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Drake did not “credit” them for using a line from their 1984 single “West End Girls” on “All the Parties.”

    Rye Rye also took to the social media platform to accuse the 36-year-old of using her vocals on the song “Calling For You” featuring 21 Savage.

    Drake and Brown did not respond to Insider’s requests for comment, which were made outside of regular working hours.
