The 59th Annual Grammy Awards took place Sunday night (Feb. 12) and while Drake wasn't present -- he was abroad on his Boy Meets World tour -- his presence was felt. The rapper's "Hotline Bling" earned him Grammy trophies for Best Rap/Sung Performance and Best Rap Song.

Drake's name was evoked prior to the ceremony as well, with E! red carpet correspondent Ryan Seacrest interviewing Jennifer Lopez and asking her a few questions about the Toronto native. Drake and J. Lo have been romantically linked in recent months, the relationship as well yielding a new collaboration between the two.

Seacrest asks Lopez if she'll be rooting for Drake to win, to which the singer says of course. "I love Drake. He’s so brilliant, talented, amazing," she says. "We made the song together. And we hung out. We had a great time. He’s amazing. I have so much love for that boy."

Drake and J. Lo were first linked to one another in December, when Drake attended a performance of the singer's All I Have show in Las Vegas. A few weeks later it was reported that Drake gifted her a $100,000 necklace, a gesture rarely meant to signify friendship. Small previews of their upcoming collab have surfaced in recent weeks, but the question remains whether the two are cozying up in their personal lives as well, Drake's musical chemistry often running parallel.

Catch Lopez's comments below, which don't exactly clarify where the two currently sit, though there seems to be a clear mutual affection.
