Drake and Sexyy Red have reignited romance rumours after the rapper surprised her with a luxury Hermès Birkin bag during the FIFA World Cup Final. The gift, believed to be worth around £15,000 ($20,059) or more depending on the model, quickly became one of the biggest celebrities talking points online.
The pair watched Sunday's final together as Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time. While football fans celebrated Spain's victory, social media users were more focused on Drake's expensive present and Sexyy Red's playful captions, which included calling the Canadian rapper her 'baby daddy'.
Neither Drake nor Sexyy Red has confirmed they are in a relationship. However, the latest exchange has once again fuelled fan theories that there could be more than friendship between the two hip hop stars.
Drake Gifts Sexyy Red a Red Hermès Birkin During World Cup Final
Drake presented Sexyy Red with a bright red Hermès Birkin while they watched the FIFA World Cup Final together. The luxury handbag immediately caught fans' attention because Birkin bags are among the world's most exclusive fashion accessories and often sell for well above their original retail prices.

The Birkin, named after British actress and singer Jane Birkin, has become a status symbol for celebrities, athletes and wealthy collectors. Many models are produced in limited numbers, making them difficult to buy even for customers willing to pay full price. Depending on the leather, hardware and size, resale values can easily climb far beyond £15,000 ($20,059).
Photos shared on social media showed Drake smiling as he handed over the handbag while Sexyy Red laughed beside him. Their relaxed body language quickly led fans to wonder if the luxury gift carried a deeper meaning than a simple friendly gesture.
Sexyy Red's 'Baby Daddy' Caption Sends Fans Into a Frenzy
After the match, Sexyy Red posted several photos from the outing on X. Her first caption read, 'First date kinda nervous', immediately sparking fresh dating speculation among fans.

She followed it with another post that gained even more attention. Writing, 'THANKS FOR DA SHABIRKIN BABY DADDYYY BAE I LOVE YOUUUUU U MY EVERYTHING', she mixed humour with affection, leaving followers divided over whether the message was serious or simply part of the pair's long-running joke.
Within hours, screenshots of the posts spread across social media. Fans filled the comments with theories, while others pointed out that Drake and Sexyy Red have often joked this way before without confirming any romantic relationship.
Drake and Sexyy Red's Friendship Has Sparked Dating Talk for Years
The pair first became close after collaborating in 2023. Drake later invited Sexyy Red to join him during his It's All a Blur Tour, helping introduce her to even bigger audiences during a breakthrough period in her career.

Since then, they have frequently praised each other in interviews, appeared together at concerts and exchanged playful messages online. Their easy chemistry has repeatedly led fans to question whether their friendship had become something more, although both artists have consistently avoided putting a label on their relationship.
Dating rumours also resurfaced in 2024 after the pair were seen together several times at concerts and sporting events. Despite constant speculation, neither artist has publicly described the other as a romantic partner, leaving fans to interpret their playful interactions for themselves.
Drake's Public Moments Keep Generating Headlines Beyond Music
The Birkin surprise arrives during another successful year for Drake. His latest album, ICEMAN, has remained one of 2026's strongest commercial releases, driven by steady streaming numbers and tracks including 'Janice STFU' and 'Shabang'.
Outside the studio, Drake continues to dominate entertainment news through appearances at major sporting events, concerts and celebrity gatherings. His public image often generates as much discussion as his music, especially when luxury fashion and high-profile friendships become part of the story.
For now, there is no evidence that Drake and Sexyy Red have confirmed a romance. Even so, a luxury Birkin gift, playful social media posts and another public appearance together have ensured that fans will continue watching closely for any new clues about their relationship.
