Why do fans believe that Alexie Demie is the mystery lady in Drake’s HABIBTI album cover?
The rumors about Alexie Demie being the mystery lady in Drake’s HABIBTI album cover stem from his longstanding relationship with the show Euphoria. Since the HBO drama’s 2019 launch, the rapper has been an executive producer, regularly attending premieres and actively endorsing the actors on social media.
Drake’s exact role in the series has often been questioned, but he has been linked to the show for a long time now, since its premiere. He reportedly attended the premiere, openly supported the cast, especially Zendaya, and pushed the show on social media.
Even the cast members of the show spoke about Drake’s involvement, from seeing him on set to hosting parties to hyping them up on social media to even appearing on its premiere back in 2019.
Actress Maude Apatow reportedly claimed to have only seen him once while filming, and other cast members reported having brief interactions with the rapper. Speaking about the experience to WWD, she said:
“I only saw Drake on set one time, but he came completely unannounced and I was so nervous. I turn around and he was standing there and I was like Oh my god. I was freaking out.”
Reports said that Drake hosted a wrap party for the cast and gave them cash gifts. At the time, actor Algee Smith claimed that the rapper donated a “hefty” sum of cash during the party. Smith told TMZ:
“He gave away, I don’t want to say how much bread he gave away, but he gave us some money at the wrap party. It was hefty. You could buy a couple cars, I’ll say that.”
Social media users speculated that Alexa Demie could be involved in the project due to Drake’s long-standing connection to Euphoria, which stars Demie, his allegedly positive relationship with the cast, and the HABIBTI graphics that fans claim mirror Demie’s unique aesthetic.
