While Drake‘s Scorpion album is doing numbers on the Billboard music charts, nearly everyone has tried deciphering who “Kiki” is on his song, “In My Feelings.” Not one to stray from tradition, Drake has maintained name dropping previous romantic interests on songs and albums; however, “Kiki” is finally a woman the public has more information about.
Kiki, do you love me? Are you riding?
Say you’ll never ever leave from beside me
‘Cause I want ya, and I need ya
And I’m down for you always
According to Genius, the aforementioned Kiki assumed in the song was Keshia Chanté, former 106 & Park co-host and love interest from his teenage years. While it’s a sensible theory leading to Kiki’s true identity, the next few lyrics wouldn’t match up with Chanté’s initials:
KB, do you love me?
Say you’ll never ever leave from beside me?
K’yanna Barber, an Oakland native, is actually the “Kiki”/KB in question. Her previous love connection with Drake dates back from 2016. Barber was spotted at a show of his in which she became romantically linked to Drake last October; however, the two called it quits shortly afterwards. Barber’s Twitter handle @4thaloveofKJ hints to the hit song being revolved around her:

K’yanna is known for an Oakland collective on YouTube called the “Hyphy Hoochies.” Her and Drake’s current standing is currently unknown; nevertheless, we don’t have to worry about who KB/Kiki is anymore.
