The Mag: You gave us a romance for these modern times, using social media to garner the affection of iCarly actress Jennette McCurdy. What spurred you to pursue her?
Drummond: It started as a joke with a childhood friend — iCarly was our show, and my friend and I had a thing for Jennette and Miranda Cosgrove. We’d joke about it on Twitter, and Jennette caught wind of it. Turned out she was interested enough to talk to me.
The Mag: It began with you expressing your #WomanCrushWednesday feelings for her. She later wrote in The Wall Street Journal that she found it “gutsy and flattering.” Very gutsy, dude. You weren’t worried about the ribbing?
Drummond: Nah, man. I still have time to be a kid. But I didn’t actually think anything would come of it, to be honest.
The Mag: What effect did the relationship have on your social media following? I’d imagine you now hold the NBA record for most preteen female followers.
Drummond: Yeah, a lot of kids follow me now. Not just kids my age, but younger kids, so I watch my movements [on social media].
The Mag: What’s your relationship status now?
Drummond: Everything is cool. We’re focusing on work and still talking to each other.
Andre might wanna take a listen to that podcast and then answer that status question again.
