31-year-old Drake and 14-year-old Millie Bobbie Brown have been texting, and fans are finding the whole situation pretty weird. 

The Stranger Things star has been sharing updates of her blossoming friendship with Drake for a while now, and it seems like they get along really well.

They are mutual fans of each other’s work, and are at the point in their relationship where Millie’s not afraid of having some banter with the Canadian rapper.

Earlier this year the pair posed for a photo together at a Golden Globes after party, which Millie captioned:

blessed to have my security be my +1 at the netflix party.

Fans loved watching the developments of their friendship, but after an interview at the Emmy awards on Tuesday (September 18), they’re starting to wonder if it’s actually a bit weird.

Millie spoke to Access Hollywood at the event, giving some details about her friendship with Drake. Sharing the video on Twitter, the post read:

On a scale of 1 to 10, we would give her an 11. Millie Bobby Brown looks fabulous on the #emmys gold carpet, and she revealed that Drake is the man behind the curtain when it comes to her dating life! Hey, stranger things have happened!

The British actor explained:

I love him. I met him in Australia and he’s honestly so fantastic, a great friend, and a great role model.

We just texted each other the other day and he was like ‘I miss you so much,’ and I was like ‘I miss you more.’

The interviewer asked Millie what kind of advice Drake gives her, to which she responded:

About boys, he helps me. Yeah, he’s great, he’s wonderful, I love him.

When pressed for more information, Millie simply said ‘That stays in the text messages!’

She also mentioned plans to meet up with the 31-year-old in November, when his Aubrey and the Three Migos tour stops in Atlanta.

Millie and the interviewers laughed about her stories, but after the video appeared a lot of viewers expressed their concern about the exchanges between Drake and the teenager.

One called their friendship ‘disturbing’, writing:

Drake is creepy af for texting Millie Bobby Brown and taking her out to dinner multiple times. She’s 14 & he’s in his 30s. That is so disturbing.

Another suggested Millie might have a crush on the rapper:

Millie Bobby Brown is innocent and probably has crush, but Drake has no business texting her “I miss you so much”.

A third wrote:

It is absolutely creepy af that Drake, 32 years old, gives “advice on boys” to Millie Bobby Brown.
She is 14.

Am I taking crazy pills? In what world is this even remotely okay?

However, other fans supported the pair’s friendship and said the situation was being blown out of proportion:

I honestly think tht Drake and Millie are completely platonic and the implication of anything more by the media is wayyyyy outta pocket.

If more of yall had positive male figures in your life, our generation wouldn’t be so wild.

Drake has not commented on the situation at this time.
