070 Shake Dating History: She Dated Kehlani before Relationship with Lily-Rose Depp
070 Shake has had a colorful dating life. The artist has been forthcoming about her preferences, though she chooses not to label her sexual identity. After her romance with Lily-Rose Depp became public news, it was alleged that the actress's father fully approved.
070 Shake was born Danielle Balbuena and hailed from New Jersey. The rapper was a part of the 070 crew before beginning a solo career with the release of her debut single, "Trust Nobody," in 2016.
The song caught the attention of Kanye West's label, G.O.O.D., and was re-released under it later that year. It was also featured in Def Jam's "Direct Deposit, Vol. 1," a compilation of music from various artists.

In 2017, Shake dished out another single, "Stranger," and followed with her first E.P., "Glitter," in 2018. 2020 saw her releasing her first studio album, "Modus Vivendi." Two years later, she returned with her sophomore album, "You Can't Kill Me."
She has worked with several well-known artists, including N.L.E. Choppa, Kanye West, Pusha T, Nas, and Beyonce, in the singer's visual album "Black Is King." Although she is rarely active on social media, her dating life has been a subject of interest in recent years.
The artist is currently romantically involved with actress Lily-Rose Depp, who recently starred alongside Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye and Jennie Kim in the gritty musical series "The Idol."

Depp confirmed their romance with a photo of herself and Shake sharing a passionate kiss on her Instagram story in May 2023. The young star revealed it had been four months since it began.
Following the confirmation, a source alleged that Depp's father, actor and musician Johnny Depp, approved of his daughter's relationship with Shake, saying he was among the first to know about it.
"Lily believes she is in love, and there is nothing more than Johnny wants in this world than for her to love and be loved by someone who deserves her," the insider added. Depp hasn't labeled her sexual identity, and her beau has followed the same route.
In a 2018 interview with Pitchfork, Shake touched on her sexuality, saying, "I don’t really identify myself as queer or gay or anything. I just like girls." And her known dating history proves just that.
In 2017, 070 Shake Was in a Relationship with Sophia Diana Lodato
In a 2017 Vogue article, Sophia Diana Lodato was mentioned as Shake's girlfriend. Little is known about Lodato, as she isn't a public figure like her former beau. However, Shake spoke about her briefly in a 2019 cover by Office Magazine.
When they were still a couple, Shake often posted now-deleted photos of Lodato on her Instagram page. She described Lodato as a "big part" of her life. However, it's unclear when their relationship began or ended.

070 Shake Was Dating Kehlani
Shake once dated Kehlani, and their relationship was believed to have begun in late 2021. Rumors of their romance surfaced on Twitter after Shake retweeted one of the "Honey" singer's videos in September of that year.
The pair were also seen together at the Bottega Veneta Salon 03 Presentation in October and began frequently appearing on each other's social media timelines. In May 2022, Kehlani released the music video for her song "Melt," which featured romantic scenes from her and Shake.

The vocalist shared a now-deleted snippet of the visuals on her Instagram shortly after releasing them, with the caption, "a true story." A few months later, however, fans began speculating if Shake and Kehlani were still together.
In September 2022, a TikTok video of Kehlani went viral, leading fans to think it was a "cryptic" confirmation of her relationship status. The clip showed her dancing at a club and raising her hand when the D.J. asked, "Who's newly single, y'all?"
