Who is Gracie Bon? Model claims she dated Drake and cut ties over his “weird parties”

Panamanian model Gracie Bon has become the centre of online discussion after claiming she once dated Canadian rapper Drake.

The plus-size model and body-positivity advocate made the allegation during an appearance on the Dominican talk show La Casa De Alofoke, saying she ended their relationship because of his “weird parties.”

Bon told the hosts, “I feel like famous people do weird things but they don’t understand,” suggesting that some of Drake’s behaviour made her uncomfortable enough to distance herself. Her remarks quickly spread on social media, prompting Drake to respond directly.

Known for promoting self-acceptance and awareness of lipedema — a condition causing enlargement of the legs — Gracie Bon has built a following on Instagram through fashion and lifestyle content. 

During the same interview, Bon also referred to Kendrick Lamar’s track "Not Like Us", claiming that “20 percent” of the lyrics were true, without specifying which ones.

The diss track included lines accusing Drake and his associates of questionable conduct and later became part of a high-profile defamation case involving the rapper.

Drake has not issued a formal statement beyond his online comment but continues to face media attention following these new allegations.
