Hip-hop sensation Drake has a soft spot for “Jersey Shore” star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi. Drake — whose late arrival helped spark a riot at a South Street Seaport concert last week — was spotted chatting up the petite MTV star backstage at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto. A spy said, “He was flirting with Snooki and trying to get her to come to his after- party. He was holding her hand the whole time.” Snooki was later seen turning up at his bash, only to be turned away by security. The source added, “Drake found out about it a lot later and was really mad that Snooki didn’t get in.”
