Drake has said he was made to feel “small” and “nervous” after being ditched by Rihanna.

But the hot rapper also praised the Rude Boy singer for being an “incredible person.”

The pair went on a few dates last year with Drizzy recently saying he was used as “a pawn” by her.

But now speaking to MTV News in the US he explained: “I've been eager to explain. I feel like when people write about it or try to take an excerpt from me describing it, it's gonna sound negative.

“And in no way was it negative. I'm at one of the greatest places in my life — I'm on top of the world. I'm extremely confident, so it's very rare that anybody, let alone a woman that I like, makes me feel nervous or makes me feel small.

He continued: "She's just such an overwhelming and incredible person, and such a talented person and someone that I was like, 'I can't believe I'm here talking to this individual’… she (Rihanna) made me feel small; she made me feel nervous. It just put me back to the Acura in Toronto, feeling like Aubrey Graham, not Drake.”

Drake's debut album Thank Me Later was released this week. It features guest spots from Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.
