On 3rd September, Drake released his sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy ‘CLB’ and people couldn’t help but wonder who is Nadia Ntuli. She was one of the special women alongside Mercedes Morr Drake celebrated.
Drake, the famous rapper, has been associated with many women, but dedicating his album to these women has surprised a lot of his listeners.
“A combination of toxic masculinity and acceptance of the truth which is inevitably heartbreaking. Executive produced by me, Noah ‘40’ Shebib, Oliver El-Khatib, and Noel Cadastre. Dedicated to Nadia Ntuli and Mercedes Morr. RIP — Drake,” the note about the dedication read.
The album features a series of artists from all over the world including Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, Tems, and Jay Z among others. While people were quite familiar with the case of Mercedes Morr, the Fashionova and OnlyFans star, who was killed in Texas, fans knew nothing about Nadia Ntuli. As a result, her name trended on Twitter many asking about her.
