DRAKE might not be dating RIHANNA anymore but that didn’t stop him from throwing his support behind his rumored former boo’s new album Rated R.

Around for a good deal of her recording process, the Toronto native says she’s “got a great stuff” complete with cuts that’s she’s using, and stuff that she’s not.

“She’s got great records that she’s using, she’s got great records that she’s not even using that she has for a later date. I’m excited for her. She deserves everything that she gets,” Drizzy told Rap-up.com. However, there’s one minor choice that he can’t quite wrap his brain around, choosing the slightly drippy ballad ‘Russian Roulette’ as her lead single.

“It’s a cool little record. I don’t know if personally that’s the route I would’ve gone for a single choice, I can only say that because I’ve been around and heard the music that she’s coming with other than that record.”

In the end though, the freshman rapper who’s been critiqued a lot for his own choices was able to keep it all in perspective and offered this, “We all make personal choices. It’s like the same way I shot a certain type of video for ‘Best I Ever Had.’ Maybe that’s where she’s at emotionally right now,” he offered. “I think if I heard it in the mix with the other ones, I would probably find more appreciation for it as opposed to it being the only thing that people are hearing from her right now after so long.”

Rated R drops November 23rd.
