Bella Hadid says Drake is not rapping about her on his new album.

Some fans have suggested that the track Finesse is about her long-rumoured relationship with the rapper.

The lyrics include: "Should I do New York? I can't decide / Fashion week is more your thing than mine."

But the supermodel has denied the speculation on Twitter, calling it "disrespectful", and saying they are friends.

"Not me!!!that's disrespectful. WHY CANT PPL BE FRIENDS W/o all the insinuation?" [sic] she wrote in response to a tweet by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

Scorpion was released yesterday and features a number of lyrics that some commentators think are about Bella.

On Finesse, Drake talks about making a trip to New York to see a love interest.

"I can't even lie, I'd rather stay inside/I can't do suit and tie," he raps on the 3-minute track.

"Can't be in a room with you and stand on different sides/One thing at a time/I have to learn to hide.

"One thing at a time/Emotions running high/I wish you felt alright."

Rumours have circulated about them since last year, when Drake threw a party for Bella's 21st birthday in October.

But neither has publicly commented until now.

Drake is known for his confessional lyrics, and has used his new album to confirm that he has a son.
