Drake is denying reports that he’s involved with actress Taraji P. Henson, claiming that the older woman he’s been seen around town with is just “his older cousin that looks like her.”

The rapper was first linked to the Academy Award nominee after the 2010 BET Awards when they were seen together backstage before once again being spotted together in Vancouver.

The Young Money rapper shied away from questions about the actress however and told 106 KMEL jokingly that he’s only been seen out with his cousin that resembles her—not Henson.

He tells Sana G.,

“Nah, that was just my cousin, she just looks like her…How did this conversation switch? [laughs] It was all so professional, let’s keep it a hundred. I love older women, though. I love experience and maturity and the conversation. I like to learn from an individual, like, when we converse, I like to really be able to soak it all in, the knowledge, the wisdom, all that. You know what I mean?”
