Dublin-based glamour model, Ava Van Rose, has spoken of how rapper Drake invited her on tour.

It appears that Drake’s bodyguard got in touch with Ava through her Instagram account when the music star was in Dublin playing the 3 Arena in February.

Ava headed along to the gig and hit it off with the rapper, his father and his cousin Tonya, so much so that she went on tour with him for some of the remaining concerts.

Speaking to The Irish Sun, Ava explained how her meeting with the high-profile music star came about.

“His bodyguard private messaged me on the day of the gig in Dublin asking would I like to go to the gig, so obviously I said yes,” Ava said.

“He texted me saying I was one of the prettiest girls he’d ever seen and that he worked for Drake. I thought it was a catfish straight away.

“But no, he was genuine and my friend and I went to the concert and then back to the Fitzwilliam Hotel for the afterparty,”

After this initial meeting, the 26-year-old model, went to a number of gigs including London and Manchester, while also meeting celebrities including Nicki Minaj, Rita Ora and Chris Rock at some of the many backstage parties.

The power of social media eh?
