Drake is selling a $220 hoodie with a throwback picture of Melyssa Ford on the back which he apparently didn’t ask her permission for.

Drake continues to troll Joe Budden following the release of *$ome $exy $ongs 4 U*, but his latest efforts have upset Melyssa Ford. The co-host of *The Joe Budden Podcast* went ballistic on the latest episode after noticing a photo of her on Drizzy’s latest merch drop.

Amid the release of the highly anticipated music video for “NOKIA,” he included a $220 hoodie that used an older image of the former video vixen with her mouth on a red sucker. It’s on the back of the piece and underneath there’s text that reads “videovixen.ca.” For those who don’t know, “ca” is the Canadian domain equivalent to “.com” here in the states. When you click on it, the link takes you to Joe Budden’s Patreon page.

However, we are also noticing that it redirects you to Melyssa Ford’s YouTube channel homepage. The rapper turned podcast was quite thankful for the free promotion. “That’s dope. That’s super dope. I f*ck with that,” Drake’s frenemy said. However, she was nowhere near as happy about this. According to her, The Boy never asked her if he could use the photo. Because of this, she’s demanding that she receive some sort of compensation. “What the f*ck is going on?! Where’s my check? Where’s my f*cking check? That’s what the f*ck I want to know,” she yelled.

Did Drake & Melyssa Ford Date?

She told the crew that she’s already reached out to Drake and also says she may have rights to the picture he used. Per *HipHopDX*, it was taken from her first calendar. Overall, this is a completely different tone from Melyssa Ford. Previously, she was all for the shout-out and recognition during this *$$$4U* run. When Drake called her “a legend from the six” on “GIMME A HUG,” she fully embraced it despite there being a shot taken at Budden in that line.

Overall, this just continues to add to their confusing history. Many years ago, there were rumors that they were dating while Drake was also with Toccarra Jones. However, Ford has never explicitly confirmed these rumors. In the same breath, though, she’s revealed in past interviews that she really “f*cking adored him.”
