Naomi Osaka has been dating for a few months American rapper YBN Cordae. The Japanese sensation announced officially her relationship on Instagram a few days ago with a post depicting a picture with her boyfriend.
However, Osaka didn’t do much effort in the past to hide her relationship and she is using her media power to help YBN Cordae. In Cincinnati, she revealed that she is listening YBN Cordae’ songs before her matches and she “promoted” the album during an interview.
