Drake revealed a surprising piece of hip-hop lore during a recent Kick livestream, turning a moment of celebrity breakup fallout into an unexpected story of loyalty involving Saweetie and Quavo.
Streaming from Utah’s red rock desert, the Toronto rapper casually explained how he ended up purchasing the custom Bentley Continental GT convertible Quavo famously gifted Saweetie for Christmas in 2020—a car that once symbolized rap’s most visible holiday flexes. The car was originally given to Saweetie during the Migos’ Culture III album release.
The 300,000-dollar vehicle had a personalized “ICY GRRL” license plate, a nod to Saweetie’s breakout hit and brand identity. The gift became a viral moment, cementing Quavo and Saweetie as one of hip-hop’s most glamorous couples.
But by March 2021, the relationship unraveled amid public cheating rumors, and the Bentley quietly re-entered the market, eventually landing at a dealership listed for $280,000.
Drake Brought Saweetie’s Bentley, Quavo Brought Her & Gave It Back To Quavo
According to Drake, that’s when timing, money, and principle aligned. During the Kick stream, he recalled spotting the car for sale and immediately thinking about Quavo rather than the headlines surrounding the breakup. Speaking to streamer BenDaDonnn, Drake framed the decision as instinctive and rooted in friendship. “I saw it for sale and I’m like ‘Yo, Imma buy that back for my dog,’” Drake said, explaining his motivation for scooping up the vehicle.
Rather than keeping the Bentley as a collector’s item or status symbol, Drake said he parked it out front to surprise Quavo, transforming what could have been a lingering reminder of a messy split into a gesture of solidarity. The move reframed the narrative around the car, shifting it away from gossip and toward camaraderie between two of rap’s biggest stars.
The story also highlighted the intricate connection between personal relationships and public symbolism in hip-hop. What began as a romantic grand gesture between Quavo and Saweetie became, years later, an example of “bro-code” loyalty, with Drake positioned as the unlikely middleman who closed the loop.
Drake’s purchase turned a high-profile breakup history into a feel-good rap story—one where money, memory, and friendship collide. Instead of letting the Bentley stand as a relic of what didn’t last, Drake recast it as proof that, sometimes, hip-hop relationships endure long after the romance fades.
