Millie Bobby Brown was recently asked about her relationship with rapper Drake, and the internet is very confused.

On the red carpet at the Emmys on Monday night, the 14-year-old Stranger Things star told Access Hollywood, “I love him.”

Regarding her friendship with the 31-year-old, she continued, “I met him in Australia, and he’s honestly so fantastic — a great friend and a great role model. … 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.’”

Brown had previously said that Drake gives her life advice, so the reporter, Kit Hoover, asked her what kind. “About boys,” the teen replied. “He helps me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He’s great. He’s wonderful. I love him.” Pressed for what advice he gives about boys, she said, “That stays in the text messages.”

Brown, who also said she’ll be seeing Drake when his tour comes to Atlanta in November, talked openly and giddily about the singer, clearly not finding it odd that a man more than twice her age is exchanging private messages with her about dating. But Twitter found it “troubling,” “disturbing,” “creepy,” and beyond. Several described it as “grooming.” It was also called “predatorial behavior.” One person even suggested: “Lock him up.”

31 year old Drake dating 18 year old Bella Harris makes his close friendship with Millie Bobby Brown less cute and more creepy. — Christina Ritter (@CMRitterActor) September 14, 2018





So wait Drake went on a date with that eighteen year old after they’d “known each other for two years” And he’s texting 14 year old Millie Bobby Brown about boys and relationships, which is textbook grooming behavior …uh…. — coolgamer420 (niners 1-1) (@TheKevinfinity) September 18, 2018





It is absolutely creepy af that Drake, 32 years old, gives "advice on boys" to Millie Bobby Brown.

She is 14. Am I taking crazy pills? In what world is this even remotely okay? — Scott (@DefendInsanity) September 18, 2018





Ummm, If she isn’t your little sister or daughter, I can’t think of too many reasons a man north of 30 should be texting a teenager. https://t.co/G08znWT7dA — Jay Scott Smith (@JayScottSmith) September 18, 2018

Brown, who has developed quite a following playing Eleven on her hit Netflix show, hasn’t been shy when it comes to talking publicly about dating. For seven months, she was in a relationship with pop singer Jacob Sartorius. When they broke up in January, they both issued statements about the split, leading to criticism of the media for reporting on a 13-year-old actress’s breakup.
