The next day, Cheryl took to social media again to hit back at reports that she and Liam broke up because of her mother's meddling. "I hate responding to stuff esp at such difficult times but I cannot sit here and listen to such nasty, false articles regarding my mam," she explained. "I don't know why they involve her in stories about me. I can assure you she has absolutely nothing to do with any of it. I am a grown woman who is capable of dealing with my own life. She is a soft and kind woman who doesn't deserve to be dragged into something that has nothing whatsoever to do with her."

Fans were quick to dissect the lyrics on Drake's new double album, "Scorpion," when it dropped late on June 28. Some speculated that lyrics on the track "Finesse" hinted at a previous relationship with model Bella Hadid, to whom Drake was romantically linked in October 2017. "I want my baby to have your eyes, I'm going against my own advice / Should I do New York? I can't decide / Fashion Week is more your thing than mine," he raps in one verse. In another, he says, "You stay on my mind / You and your sister too hot to handle." But as fans started to weigh in — "who hasn't he [had sex with]. #jealous," one tweeted — Bella piped up, responding, "Not me!!!that's disrespectful. WHY CANT PPL BE FRIENDS W/o all the insinuation." We'll take that as a dating denial.
