She called it a "bold" move.

Look, for those that have had one too many, you know what it's like when you feel like a boss off the sauce. Who knows how many drunk-girl-DMs Drake has sitting in Instagram messages, but Lizzo isn't afraid to admit that at one point, she slid her way into the OVO rapper's inbox. The rapper-singer visited Busy Tonight and talked about the sending—and unsending—Drake a message.

Lizzo was asked who she would like to collaborate with and she emphatically answered "Adele, b*tch!" Busy Phillips asked her if she's DM'd Adele to ask her to hop on a record, and Lizzo admitted that she has DM'd, but it wasn't Adele. "I used to slide into DMs," she said. When pressed for more information, Lizzo admitted, "I slid into Drake's DMs, but it was bold. I was drunk and I was just like, 'Let's just see if this motherf---er can sing,'" she said as she mocked being drunk. "And I sent him a DM…this was a while ago. And then I unsent it, and then he followed me after that...but he likes my songs."

She's obviously not ashamed of it, probably because it was on a work flow and not...well...you know. Meanwhile, the rapper is currently on her sold out "Cuz I Love You Tour" after releasing her major label debut of the same name last week.
