Even though Drew Sidora’s relationship status with Blakk Tatted continued to be up for debate on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the “Bad Girl” singer continued to insist that he’s just a “friend.”
How to Watch
The subject arose again during a dinner in Dallas in RHOA Season 17, Episode 7, when K. Michelle explained that she’d been “standoffish” because Drew had falsely claimed that she also knew Blakk. By K. Michelle’s account, all she knew about him was that he had been in her DMs. “She’s trying to make it seem like I have something deeper with him,” the newcomer further alleged in a confessional.
When the ladies asked if she was aware of the DMs in question, Drew said that she knew “nothing” about the messages before asking K. Michelle if the Blakk Smoke founder and CEO was “flirting” with her. “I don’t know the nature of your relationship,” Drew added. “I don’t know that he’s in your DMs. But he can be in your DMs because he’s single. He’s in a lot of women’s DMs. We’re not together.”

Trip host Cynthia Bailey, meanwhile, pointed out that it seemed like Drew and Blakk “really like each other,” though.
“He probably does like me,” Drew responded. “And, you know what, I don’t know what the future holds. I have so much going on. I can’t even make another man happy right now.”
She went on to describe how she was simply enjoying spending time with “someone that’s just gonna kick it with me and make me laugh and balance me out right now.”
What Blakk told Drew Sidora about him sliding into K. Michelle’s DMs
Though Drew and K. Michelle’s initial discussion at dinner ended peacefully, the two had a much more dramatic clash when the latter brought the issue up again the next day. Following their heated argument, Drew called Blakk and filled him in on the drama via FaceTime.
“Listen, apparently, in this group it’s been talked about that I am speaking on K and attaching her to you in some way,” Drew told Blakk, who replied, “Why would she think you doing that? Why would you want to attach me to her, when you barely even want to attach me to you?”

As for the private messages K. Michelle referenced, Blakk admitted, “I have complimented her in her DMs before. I have said, literally, in verbatim, word for word, I literally said, ‘Holy s–t, K. God damn.’ It was a nice picture. That was exactly what my DM was.”
Drew, meanwhile, said, “But I didn’t know about that DM,” hence her confusion as to why K. Michelle seemed to be accusing her of making her comment about them knowing each other into something more serious than it actually was.
Inside Drew Sidora’s “friendship” with Blakk Tatted on RHOA Season 17
As early as the RHOA Season 17 premiere, Drew and Blakk both declared that they were only friends, despite the fact that she brought him as her “virtual date” to Porsha Williams’ couples’ dinner. Drew played coy, however, when a producer asked if she also considered their relationship to be strictly platonic “after dark.”
Fast-forward to Episode 3, and Blakk, who lives out of state, visited Drew in the ATL, bringing along a large bouquet of red roses to their dinner date. “Just because I’m going through a divorce, I can’t, like, cry every day,” Drew explained in a confessional. “It’s important for a girl to be able to, like, let her hair down and have a good time.”
She added, “Blakk is very funny, charismatic, smart, I would say brilliant. I’m just grateful to have, like, a real friend who is there and consistent.”
During their night out, Blakk mentioned that he had no idea “what the future may hold” for them. When Drew asked him to clarify what the “possibilities” might be, he answered, “Friends, friendship, friends with benefits…”
After he emphasized the “benefits” part, Drew shared with a producer, “We have had intimate moments. We cuddle, we snuggle, we hold hands. I just think, right now, it’s important for me to put more energy and focus on my kids and this three-year-long divorce journey.”
Drew told Blakk directly that he was the only person that she had been “hanging out with, dating, [and] getting to know.” He then stated that Drew gave him “wife” vibes, more so than “girlfriend material.” Despite their mutual love for each other, he explained that he would not consider taking any further steps romantically until her divorce from Ralph Pittman was finalized.
“Blakk and I are very clear on where our friendship stands,” Drew concluded in the interview chair. “Some people say, ‘Marry your friend. … Date your friend.’ We really are committed to just creating a healthy friendship. And that’s all that matters.”
