Drake And Nelly Furtado Sang “I’m Like A Bird” Together At OVO Fest

Drake is well known for his intense affection for Toronto. The 35-year-old routinely demonstrates his love for the city where he was reared, as evidenced by the huge OVO Festival celebration this year (though many people were astounded by the hefty ticket prices).

After taking a few years off owing to the COVID-19 epidemic, Drizzy resurrected his beloved festival for 2022, which began yesterday (July 28) evening with an All Canadian North Starts concert at HISTORY, the 6ix venue opened by the Scorpion rapper and Live Nation last year.

Along with performers like Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, Saukrates, Glenn Lewis, Jully Black, and Maestro Fresh Wes who were originally scheduled to perform, Champagne Papi upped the ante by inviting “Promiscuous” hitmaker Nelly Furtado to perform some of her most well-known songs.

“Right now, I need you to sing as loud as you possibly can because this right here took a lot!” Drake said to the crowd. “This next person’s music changed my life so much. I love her with all my heart.”

Even while yesterday night’s performance was unquestionably memorable, OVO Fest performances have only just begun. This weekend, Young Money will reunite for the first time in ten years when Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne perform, while Lil Baby and Chris Brown will bring their One Of Them Ones tour to the stage.

DJ Khaled Purchases Numerous Lottery Tickets In An Effort To Win A Billion Dollar Prize

DJ Khaled, one of the biggest names in music, is renowned for his charismatic persona, iconic tunes, and extravagant lifestyle that includes pricey automobiles and multi-million dollar homes. The “Popstar” producer went on Instagram on Thursday to display the several lottery tickets he’s bought in an effort to win the Powerball jackpot, a prize believed to be worth $1.02 billion, despite his enormous wealth, which Forbes magazine estimates to be $75 million.

Khaled, who just had his twelfth studio album Khaled Khaled released in 2021, has been relatively quiet lately by his usual. In 2020, the 46-year-old man celebrated the birth of his second son, Aalam. Due largely to his appearances on his father’s albums Grateful and Father of Asahd, his firstborn son Asahd became an internet fame from an early age. His two boys were featured on the cover of Khaled Khaled.

Others in the music industry took notice of Khaled’s money-making techniques. The co-founder of Quality Control Music, Pierre “P” Thomas, joined Khaled in his bid to win the lotto and become instantly wealthy.

On Friday, the next Powerball winner will be revealed. The jackpot will keep rolling over and increase in size if no one wins.

Shakira Could Get An 8-Year Prison Term For Alleged Tax Fraud

Shakira Could Get An 8-Year Prison Term For Alleged Tax Fraud

Shakira Could Get An 8-Year Prison Term For Alleged Tax Fraud 

According to recent reports from the Associated Press, Spanish prosecutors are requesting a hefty prison term for Colombian singer Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll in her suspected tax fraud case.

Although a trial date has not yet been scheduled, it was revealed on Friday (July 29) that if found guilty, the “Hips Don’t Lie” hitmaker could spend eight years and two months in prison.

Shakira’s appeal against the case was reportedly rejected back in May. The story was initially made known to the public in 2018, and at the time, reports stated that the singer had allegedly neglected to pay taxes totaling $15.5M between 2012 and 2014.

The 45-year-place old’s of residence during the relevant years appears to be the main topic of discussion because, for tax reasons, anyone who stays in a country for more than six months is considered to be a resident. Although she has continued to refute these accusations, prosecutors contend that she spent the majority of her time in Spain.

According to reports, tax bills from all of her worldwide income during the relevant period—not only that which was earned in Spain—were required by officials.

Shakira designated the European nation as her tax residence as of 2015, and in a separate case from 2019 her ex-husband, Gerard Piqué, was fined a sizable sum for tax evasion between 2008 and 2010.

Rick Ross Explains Why He Has Never Been Required To Sue Anyone He Has Collaborated With

Rick Ross Explains Why He Has Never Been Required To Sue Anyone He Has Collaborated With

Rick Ross has never had to take anyone he has collaborated with to court, claims the MMG billionaire as a result of his constant regard for people who have worked with him.

“You gotta realize when you a young artist I’m sure after you become successful whatever you look back on you will consider it a bad contract,” As stated by Rick Ross in a Beyond The Chair podcast interview. “Have I ever been taken advantage of? No. Have I ever been robbed? No. Have I ever had to sue someone I was in business with musically? No.”

He added, “It was just the way I moved I guess. Whoever I was in the contract with we always had an open phone conversation, so if there was anything that was a problem I presented it and just explain it to me. If it’s respectable I’m gonna respect it because I always felt like any contract I signed whatever couple years it was I could work myself out of this.”

Although Rozay has never had to go to court, he has certainly had his share of disagreements and is now embroiled in a significant one with Gillie Da Kid. On a recent episode of his podcast Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Gillie felt compelled to respond to Rick Ross, who had called him a “fraud” months earlier after Mack Maine refuted a claim Gillie had made about meeting up with his former rival Lil Wayne. Rick Ross had made the criticism after Mack Maine’s denial. Gillie continued by making light of Rick Ross’s most recent farming endeavors, which Ross found offensive.

“Fuck wrong with you? Don’t ever comment on nothing about me n-gga, when you used to be a C.O. n-gga,” Gillie said at the time. “When you used to lock n-ggas like Wallo in the cell n-gga. This ain’t got nothing to do with you player. … ‘I just bought a cow,’ why the fuck would you buy a cow, n-gga? … Fuck these old n-ggas. They mad at me cause I tell ’em fuck ’em, all you n-ggas pussy, you ain’t gonna do nothing. He ain’t said it, I said it.”

“Fellas, fellas… let me give you the real game,” Rick Ross said in a response video as he loitered around his Georgia mansion in a robe. “I spend more money on my cow huffs than you do on your wife and kids every month, you should take notes.”

Will Smith Posts Touching Video Apology Regarding Chris Rock Slap At Oscars

After slapping Chris Rock on the Oscars stage, it has been a while since Will Smith spoke to the public. He has also made a few statements about the matter, despite not always being visible in public. In contrast, he made a fresh apology video and posted it to YouTube this morning. In it, he professed his sorrow for the infamous slap and apologized to Chris Rock and his family. He provided an explanation for why Rock wasn’t apologized to in his video.

“I was fogged out by that point,” he stated. “It’s all fuzzy. I’ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk and when he is, he will reach out. So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.”

Smith also expressed regret to Tony Rock, who has been quite outspoken about the incident, and Chris Rock’s mother, who recently spoke out about how she felt about the slap. Will Smith clarified that he and Tony had a close bond that he now characterized as “irreparable.”

“There is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment,” he added. “There’s no part of me that thinks that’s the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults.”

Kendrick Lamar Explains How He Wants His Legacy To Be Remembered

The rapper had a rare interview with 12-year-old reporter Jazzy World just after hitting the Rolling Loud stage in Miami on Sunday. A video of the rapper talking about the widely shared image of a security guard sobbing while he sang “Love” surfaced earlier this week. K. Dot expressed his thankfulness for his ability to move people’s emotions through music.

This week, the complete interview with the Mr. Morale rapper was made available online, and in it, Kendrick discussed how he wants to be remembered in the long run. Kendrick expresses the same optimism for his music’s ability to foster human connection in his response to the security guard.

“Really just an impact to inspire people and always showing them that the duality of life is not such a bad thing,” he stated. “We go through so many volatile situations where we don’t really know how to connect or communicate how we feel so through my music, I wanna make sure that’s the legacy; showing people how to communicate and it’s okay, you know, if you’re not perfect. It’s about accepting the beauty of imperfection.”

He continued, “Do you, be yourself and make sure you love being yourself. It’s gonna be roadblocks, there’s gonna be tribulations but always remember this is a life experience. Accept the experience, appreciate the experience and learn how to move on from things that don’t serve you well. And find your journey, respect your journey and love it.”

NLE Choppa Clarifies Statements That He Healed Cancer

NLE Choppa has finally responded to the contentious tweet in which he claimed to have assisted in a cancer cure. “Wow man just was informed I helped cure someone from cancer. This Major To Me,” he wrote in June 2021, which sparked a barrage of inquiries and objections.

Last week, Vlad and NLE Choppa finally had a conversation to end their feud and give the rapper a chance to address several issues with the general public, including the cancer claim. Choppa said he never claimed direct responsibility for curing cancer, but Vlad had called him a “snake oil salesman” before.

“I said I helped someone,” NLE Choppa said. “I’d be lying if I said I got patients in my house and I’m just treating them. I don’t have the time for that. The only thing I can do is be a messenger and provide you with something that I’m blessed with – my energy… As long as you have good intentions, you pray over these things, you talk to them, and you give it to people with the right intentions and they use it and they hear you out consistently with the things that they do within themselves every day, you can help someone. You can help save a life.”

After openly contacting Justin Bieber to ask for assistance with his Ramsay Hunt diagnosis, the claim was made not long after. “I tried to have my label dm Justin Bieber on instagram idk if it was sent out because I don’t run it but can y’all please do me a favor and let him know I have what can help I promise. I just want to help and heal,” he said.

Kevin Hart And Fabolous Disrupted Chris Brown’s Meet And Greet

Once again, the focus is on those Chris Brown meet and greets, but this time, Kevin Hart and Fabolous wanted to join in on the fun. Recently, photos from a meet & greet with Breezy became viral online as fans shared their pictures they took with the singer. Fans posing with the hitmaker at the event didn’t draw all the attention, though; it was also alleged that Brown charged $1,000 per person to meet him in person.

The amount was hotly contested online, dividing fans as some said they would have paid more and others criticized the singer for charging what they did. Following Yung Bleu’s intervention to defend Brown, Hart and Fab made an appearance and cracked a few jokes.

An Instagram video posted by the user FreshMadeIt showed Brown conducting his meet and greet before his famous buddies interrupted it. When Hart entered with a few of his own “take the spotlight” postures, it appeared as though Brown was posing with a fan. Not to be outdone, Fabolous entered the frame and made sure he was captured in a few pictures as well as the laughter of spectators.

Lil Uzi Vert Expresses His Support For Kodak Black In The Midst Of Legal Drama

Lil Uzi Vert has stepped up to defend his friend Kodak Black a day after he used Twitter to make his case. Kodak was apparently stopped recently while in Florida because the tinting on his windows were too dark. The rapper was reportedly arrested right away after police allegedly found pills inside the car and expired tags during the traffic stop.

After being freed, Kodak has been able to carry on with his career as a performer; most recently, he shared the stage with Kendrick Lamar at Rolling Loud Miami; yet, he hasn’t completely resolved his issues with the police regarding his arrest.

Police apparently discovered over two dozen Oxycodone pills on Kodak when they arrested him, but the rapper’s legal team reportedly claims that they were prescribed. According to reports, Kodak was shot earlier this year, and the prescription is being utilized to ease his agony.

Kodak labeled the accusations “character assassination” and stated that the police pulled him over because of “racial profiling,” on Twitter, Uzi expressed his support.

“Everybody know Kodak Jus got shot I seen this N*gga with his scripts,” Uzi stated. “Idk why he going thru this sh*t still Mannn Wtf going on down there In Broward ? @KodakBlack1k you blessed tho fam you will threw any situation that’s put in front of you [salute emoji][100 emoji].”
