Panamanian model and influencer Gracie Bon is making headlines. She publicly detailed a brief and startling “situationship” with Drake. According to Bon, her and Drake’s relationship began with a single “hola” direct message and quickly veered into private jets and backstage access. The relationship began around 2020 while she was still married, and evolved until a party in London became the breaking point. So, who is Bon? Here’s what to know about the Instagram model involved in Drake romance rumors. Who is Gracie Bon, the influencer speaking about her past relationship with Drake? Panamanian model Gracie Bon is officially in the spotlight due to what she said about her past with Drake. HotNewHipHop reports that Bon is on La Casa De Alofoke, a reality show that brings influencers together in a house. On the show, Bon said she dated Drake in the past, though they had a falling out. So, who is Bon? The model and social‑media influencer rose to international prominence as a leading voice in the plus‑size and body‑positivity movement. According to her official website, she was born in Panama and gradually built a global brand emphasizing self‑love, fashion, and challenging traditional standards of beauty. Her rise to fame stems from a petition she wrote that advocated for larger airplane seats to accommodate plus-size bodies. After going viral, she built a massive following and now uses her platforms to bring attention to issues such as size inclusivity in fashion and public spaces. Today, Bon has over 11 million followers on Instagram. She also uses TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and X to connect with her audience. In the future, she hopes to use her reach to create more opportunities for plus-size models. What did Gracie Bon say about Drake? Gracie Bon spilled about her alleged romance with Drake while on the reality show, La Casa De Alofoke. According to International Business Times, Bon revealed that she DM’d Drake, and it led to more. “I liked him as an artist,” she explained. “I sent him a message. I said, ‘Hola,’ and two minutes after, something had happened. We gave each other a follow.” The two then allegedly pursued private conversations, though Bon was married at the time. She then said that Drake sent a plane to pick her up so she could fly to meet him in person. From there, they pursued a whirlwind romance that included partying and private jets, but it wasn’t enough to sustain the relationship. “He can offer money, luxuries, comforts to you, but he cannot offer true love, true attention to you,” Bon said. According to the model, she ended the relationship and blocked him, as she wanted more than just luxury and fame. “I wanted love, not lifestyle,” she explained. “And I chose myself.” She also detailed how Drake later allegedly blackballed her from the industry. Bon made additional claims, including how 20% of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track, “Not Like Us,” is true. She didn’t elaborate on what the alleged 20% was. The rapper responded to the model’s viral claims Drake didn’t let the allegations from Gracie Bon sit unanswered for long. During a livestream hosted by Adin Ross, the rap superstar appeared in the chat to directly respond to her viral claims. He called Bon’s story “big cap” (slang for “a big lie”) and described the notion that he “blackballed” her from parties as “crazy,” according to HotNewHipHop. So far, no corroborating evidence has surfaced from Bon’s side that validates the key details of her allegations. And many Drake fans are quick to question the claims.
