Drake mistakes Rosie O'Donnell tweet as compliment about him
Rapper Drake endured an embarrassing Twitter.com mix-up on Friday (29Mar13) after assuming comedienne Rosie O'Donnell was referring to him when she gushed about his namesake Drake Bell online.
The funnywoman took to her micro-networking blog on Tuesday (26Mar13) to compliment Bell on his toned torso after tuning in to watch the actor compete on reality diving show Splash.
She wrote, "Drake is cute ... Nice muscles" - but her failure to
specify which Drake she was referring to prompted the Best I Ever
Had hitmaker to respond in glee.
He tweeted, "Life goal #6 (number six) accomplished. The fact that
Rosie O'Donnell knows who I am is probably best feeling
ever..."
O'Donnell subsequently moved to clarify her earlier tweet, writing,
"DRAKE FROM JOSH N DRAKE ON NICKELODEON !!!! NOT THE SINGER - THE
GUY ON THE DIVING SHOW!!!", although she reached out to the hip-hop
star too to show him he was also on her radar.
She added, "but- I do think the rapper/singer drake is a QTpa2T
(cutie patootie) - also with nice muscles... Of course I know u - u
r very talented and quite cute (sic)."
And O'Donnell couldn't help but make reference to Drake's infamous
New York bar brawl with R&B singer Chris Brown last year (12),
quipping, "No more bar fights".
