Drake has received an invite to the Toronto Black Film Festival from Pam Grier, and the actress has implied she has plenty of questions for the 6 God.
In an interview with Peak on Wednesday (February 14) ahead of the festival, the Jackie Brown actor said she would make Drake “blush.”
“He grew up on me,” she explained, referencing a 2010 interview with Nardwuar where the rapper credited the actress for “shaping my taste in women” and admitting to masturbating to images of her.
“I want to know what magazine he was looking at when he was thinking of me,” Grier added. “Or he wasn’t telling the truth, but I don’t know him as someone who is not truthful, so it would be interesting to ask him. He’ll blush.”
Drake isn’t the only Hip Hop icon who has a crush on the Foxy Brown star.
Last month, during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Snoop Dogg revealed how his initial encounter with Pam Grier left him weak at the knees.
“We was doing a movie, Bones, right? And this is young Snoop. I’m young at the time, right? They tell me I got the role with Pam Grier. So, I’m like, ‘Oh alright, I got Pam Grier, that’s a…,’” he explained before breaking into a little dance.
“Catch the flight from Frisco to Vancouver. So, when I get to Frisco I’m sitting down and Pam Grier walk up and just sit right next to me and started talking to me.”
When questioned about his reaction, Snoop confessed to fainting.
“My heart was beating fast, Jen,” he chuckled. “Jen, my heart was beating fast (da, da, da, da). So, I’m like, ‘I hear what you’re saying, Pam. Give me a minute.’ I go to the bathroom and faint.
“I fainted. I’m laying on the ground. My security come in, they like, ‘Get off this nasty floor, man. What is you doing?’ I looked up and said, ‘Cuz, I just met Pam Grier.’”
After pulling himself together, Snoop Dogg said he returned to his seat beside Grier, but found it difficult to maintain eye contact with her for the remainder of the flight. Nevertheless, the award-winner dropped some acting-related jewels on the rap legend.
“She broke me down. She gave me all the information that I needed as far as to like lose that. She gave me information on how to be a better actor, a better person, and how to receive people like this who you are infatuated with,” he added.
“So, I thanked her for that and I believe I became a better actor after that. So, Pam, I love you for that. And I appreciate you.”
