On another appearance on _Ellen_ this week, Klum shared that after sharing the anecdote and the resulting frenzy, she texted Drake to apologize but the rapper apparently opted not to respond to her apology with words — choosing instead to send a single emoji. “I said I’m sorry, because I know I made a huge wave after I was here, and he just made that face,” Klum said, while miming the indifferent look of the emoji. DeGeneres deduced that the singular emoji response must mean that Drake was “mad,” noting that this saga was a long story anyways. Klum was in hearty agreement: “So long that we should not start it again!” Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5492968/drake-rejects-heidi-klum-apology/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5492968/drake-rejects-heidi-klum-apology/"},"headline":"Heidi Klum Says Drake Rejected Her Apology to Him With a Single Emoji","datePublished":"2019-01-03T15:59:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:41.382Z","description":"In his feelings","url":"https://time.com/5492968/drake-rejects-heidi-klum-apology/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt15272fa28eea2566/6989429b86f68e5e4e6eb16e/Drake-Heidi-Klum-rejects-apology.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt15272fa28eea2566/6989429b86f68e5e4e6eb16e/Drake-Heidi-Klum-rejects-apology.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Drake In Concert - Atlanta, GA","caption":"Drake In Concert - Atlanta, GA","creditText":"Prince Williams—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5492968/drake-rejects-heidi-klum-apology/","name":"Heidi Klum Says Drake Rejected Her Apology to Him With a Single Emoji"}}]}] ```
