... that it is rumored that "R.I.P." was initially intended to be a song for Rihanna but was a song for Rita Ora instead? Source: https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/6-songs-you-didnt-know-drake-wrote-7469624/ , https://www.nme.com/news/music/various-artists-2964-1248465

- Comment: Sources seem to differ whether it was for certain intended to be a song for Rihanna or if it never was so I'm gonna say that it was a rumor.

Improved to Good Article status by Iaof2017 (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 18:11, 13 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Forgot to add but Iaof2017 was the one who brought the article to GA. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:13, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

everything checks out to me, passed GA convincingly, although I'd reword the hook to say that the "Rita Ora song ... was rumoured to have been intended for Rihanna" - sounds better to me. QPQ done. No copyvio detected. Cheers,Kingoflettuce (talk) 23:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
