Taylor Rooks confirms lyrics from new Drake song 'Supermax' are about her
The rap superstar shocked fans as he shared the first episode of his new series 'ICEMAN' over the weekend - which included a snippet of a song called 'Supermax'.
Fans were quick to note that one lyric mentioned a woman known as 'Taylor', with many speculating it referred to the TNT Sports host, who is a known friend of Drake.
The lyrics in question were: 'I was talking to Taylor over drinks, and it was getting deep / 'Not everyone can handle this pressure and, in the city, you're the national treasure,' that's what she said to me'.
Shortly after the video was released, Rooks eventually broke her silence with an Instagram story and put an end to the fan speculation.
The glamorous broadcaster shared a screenshot of the song, with the lyrics: 'That's what she said to me'.
The friendship between Rooks and Drake has been no secret in recent years and the duo have been publicly spotted together on multiple occasions.
One of those included the Kentucky Derby back in 2022, where they posed for a picture together which Rooks later posted on his Instagram story.
She wrote: 'Truly appreciate our friendship. These are legendary moments. Happy we all get to experience them with everyone'.
Rooks, 33, has been with TNT Sports since 2023 where she began as a sideline reporter, typically for college basketball games.
She then began covering NBA games during the 2024-25 season and, for the 2025-26 season, she will be leading NBA on Prime Video alongside Dirk Nowitski.
Drake, meanwhile, made headlines last month as he sparked plastic surgery rumors after displaying a particularly defined set of six pack abs in a new thirst trap.
The musician, 38, unveiled his chiseled torso in a post he uploaded to Instagram, followed by video of him going for a run in a park.
However, a glaring detail set off alarm bells amongst fans who suspected the abs were not necessarily the result of his jogs but rather a plastic surgeon.

Bond Girl, 70, looks unrecognizable 35 years after starring in 007 film – can you guess who it is?
A BOND Girl from the beloved franchise looks completely different from her role in 1989 flick. 35 years ago, this lady starred in 007 film Licence To Kill and made a lasting impact on viewers. 7 7 7 7 When the lady, who is now 70 years of age, starred in the movie, the franchise was fronted by Timothy Dalton. Aside from her role as a beautiful bond girl in the hit flick, she played Terri Alden in the ABC sitcom Three's Company between 1981 and 1984. She also appeared in films, including A Vacation in Hell, Stepfather III, The Crossing Guard, Mallrats, The Devil's Rejects and The Visitation. You've guessed it, it's Della Churchill star Priscilla Barnes. Stepping out in Los Angeles and making a rare appearance, Priscilla looked laid back after a trip to the grocery store. Seen arriving home after getting her groceries, Priscilla wore a casual outfit that made her look years younger than she is. 7 Looking youthful, the stunning New Jersey-born beauty wore some distressed jeans and a simple t-shirt. She seemingly ditched wearing a bra for the occasion, too, and wore some simple sneakers in a navy and white colorway. Priscilla, who has been married to Ted Monte since 2003, wore her blond locks down and tousled. Ditching makeup for the occasion, the former Bond Girl also sported some brown sunglasses in some of the snaps.

Joe Rogan flips the God debate on its head with shocking theory that 'we created him'
Joe Rogan has come to a mind-bending conclusion about life, fearing that humanity has misinterpreted what reality is and we're actually in the process of creating God. While interviewing computer scientist Roman Yampolskiy on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the men debated the possibility that reality is a giant simulation and humans are building a God-like supercomputer using artificial intelligence (AI). According to Rogan's theory, humanity has misinterpreted ancient prophecies regarding the second coming of Jesus Christ and Judgement Day, saying the creation of this AI super intelligence is the final chapter before our reality resets. 'This whole idea of Jesus coming back, well maybe it's real. Maybe we just completely misinterpreted these ancient scrolls and texts and what it really means is that we are going to give birth to this,' Rogan explained. Yampolskiy, an author and researcher in AI safety, added to Rogan's theory, suggesting that reality is just an ongoing cycle of Big Bangs - the explosion that kickstarted the universe - starting and restarting life over and over again. During the episode released on July 3, Rogan added that he feared God 'is actually created by human beings creating this infinitely intelligent thing that can essentially harness all of the available energy and power of the universe and create anything it wants.' Yampolskiy even contended that many of the religions around the world have one thing in common: 'What they all agree on is that there is [a] super intelligence which created a fake world.' In previous podcasts episodes this year, Rogan has repeatedly warned that AI was just years away from reaching a God-like state as more tech companies pour resources into its development. Rogan suggested that people have misinterpreted events like the second coming of Jesus Christ, claiming that humans would create the intelligence they believed was returning from heaven Rogan asked Yampolskiy if the physical world we see was created by God, then what existed before this all-powerful being created the human race. 'Ideas, just information,' the computer scientist replied during the podcast. 'Just God. God was bored And it was like, let's make some animals that can think and solve problems. And for what reason?' Rogan countered. That's when the podcast host theorized life was an ongoing simulation and people had the idea of God's return to Earth backwards, claiming that people would summon this powerful intelligence themselves through the creation of AI. The theory that all life exists within a computer simulation has been debated for decades, and it's even been entertained in blockbuster movies like 'The Matrix.' While Rogan suggested that deepfakes of Bigfoot, UFOs, and other impossible images could be proof we're living in a virtual reality, scientists have argued that there is more basic evidence that this world is not real. Melvin Vopson, an associate professor in physics at the University of Portsmouth, has argued that gravity may be a sign that we're all living in a virtual simulation. According to Vopson's new paper in AIP Advances, our universe is the 'ultimate computer' and gravity's pull on Earth and in outer space is the computer trying to keep its vast amount of data organized. As for who's running the simulation, Yampolskiy explained that one possibility is life as we know it could simply be a replay of past events being examined by the future human race. Rogan then asked Yampolskiy why an all-powerful AI would even bother creating a reality for our consciousnesses to exist in. Yampolskiy explained that it's impossible to know who is controlling this program, whether it's an alien intelligence, humans from the future, or an AI super intelligence has already been built and is running these simulations by itself. Therefore, it's also impossible to know why people would be needed in the virtual world, adding that he and Rogan could have had the same interview thousands of times and never knew it was happening. 'Is it entertainment? Is it scientific experimentation? Is it marketing? Maybe somebody managed to control them and [are] trying to figure out what Starbucks coffee sells best. And they need to run [an] earth-sized simulation to see what sells best,' Yampolskiy explained. 'Think about this decade... We're about to invent intelligence and virtual worlds, God-like inventions. We're here. There's a good chance that's not just random,' the AI researcher added, suggesting we're already stuck in a computer simulation. In any scenario, Rogan theorized that the end of the simulation was nearing as tech giants get closer to creating the all-knowing intelligence which has been foretold in many prophecies. Whether humanity is already locked in a simulation or we're on the road to creating a God-like intelligence in a self-fulfilling prophecy, Rogan claimed that within 50 to 60 years 'there will be one day a virtual simulation of this reality that's indistinguishable from reality.'
