The Beverly Hills Housewives Are Trying to Get Drake to Follow Them on Instagram Like Lisa Rinna
Kyle Richards and Crystal Kung Minkoff are doing their best to capture Champagne Papi's attention on Instagram.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills trip to La Quinta has been full of revelations so far, but we really didn't see one piece of new information coming.
In the July 21 episode, Kyle Richards revealed that Lisa Rinna has quite the famous follower on Instagram. "I just got a text from my daughter saying, 'Mom, Drake follows Lisa Rinna. Up your game,'" Kyle shared with the group, all of whom were, of course, very impressed, including Crystal Kung Minkoff, who reacted, "That's a big one."
However, Lisa said that she didn't even realize the famous rapper was following her at first. "I mean, I didn't know Drake followed me," she recalled. "His name is, like, Champagne Papi or something."
The other Beverly Hills Housewives even had to school Lisa on how to say Drake's nickname and iconic Instagram handle correctly. "This is not something obscure. I mean, this is, like, mainstream pop culture," Crystal said in an interview during the episode. "Like, I would die if Champagne Papi was following me."
In fact, Lisa appears to be the only Housewife Drake follows on Instagram. So naturally, her fellow Beverly Hills Housewives are hoping for a follow from him, too, according to Instagram comments captured by the Comments by Bravo.
Crystal, for one, is still eagerly awaiting that follow. "Not me feeling disappointed that Drake still isn’t following me," she posted on Instagram along with a Boomerang of a moment from this season of RHOBH. "Where you at @champagnepapi?? #TeamDrizzy."
Kyle decided to take her daughter's advice in the hopes of being noticed by Drake on Instagram. "Like my hat? #thirstythursday @champagnepapi," Kyle captioned a photo of herself rocking a bikini. "I’m upping my game cc @lisarinna."
Bravolebs definitely took note of Kyle's Instagram post, including Crystal, Kathy Hilton, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, and Gretchen Rossi. Notably, Lisa, who is clearly an expert in getting Drake's follow, commented, "GO OFF!!!!!!"
Kyle's eldest daughter, Farrah Aldjufrie, also commented, "OK HI MOM [two fire emojis]. Also why are you tagging @champagnepapi are we friends [with] him yet?!"
Unfortunately, Kyle responded, "NOOO."
Crystal also shared in the comments of her own Instagram post that Kyle was "much closer" to getting Drake to follow her, thanks to "that hot photo you just posted."
In the comments section of a post on Bravo's Instagram about the Drake follows, Kyle also wrote, "I upped my game and tagged him in my post," to which Crystal replied, " I will be soooooo jealous if you get that follow and I don’t."
Farrah also encouraged Kyle: "Come on mom. Make it happen."
Mercedes "MJ" Javid had a suggestion on how Kyle could capture Drake's attention. "Did you tag him in SPLITS to get the follow, @kylerichards18," she wrote, referring to Kyle's famous flexibility. "He’ll love it."
