Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 14, says she and Drake, 31, are friends and that the rapper offers her advice “about boys.”
Access Hollywood reporters asked Brown about Drake on the Emmy Awards red carpet, prompting the teen to elaborate on their friendship.
Millie Bobby Brown revealed to @AccessOnline that she and Drake text about boys: "I love him. 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,' he's great.” pic.twitter.com/UVBO0u97XD

“I love him. I met him in Australia and he’s honestly so fantastic, and a great friend, a great role model,” Brown said. “We text—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.’”
She also said Drake will be in Atlanta soon (his tour stops there in November) and that she plans to see him then. People on Twitter thought their apparent friendship seemed more creepy than, well, friendly.

What the fuck kind of boyfriend advice is Drake gonna give Millie Bobby Brown? “Make sure you call him on his cellphone or he’ll get possessive and weird, as is his right as a man”

Drake was recently rumored to be dating 18-year-old model Bella Harris after she posted Instagram photos with the rapper.
But following tabloid reports that she and Drake had a private dinner date in Washington, D.C., Harris denied the meal ever happened.
Brown, meanwhile, split from 15-year-old singer Jacob Sartorius in July after a seven-month relationship that was well-documented on the teens’ Instagram accounts.
