Charlamagne Tha God Compares Drake’s New Album to Elevator Music

Drake stunned his fans by dropping a fresh new album, Honestly, Nevermind. This is Drake’s seventh full-length studio album, and there was a lot of expectation for what was to follow when it was released yesterday evening. Drake even referred to the record as a summer album, which piqued fans’ interest in the sounds to come.

In the end, Drake released a house, EDM, and dancehall-inspired album that disappointed many fans. The response to the new project has been overwhelmingly negative, with some supporting the new sound and others just refusing to give it a chance.

All of the major radio shows, including The Breakfast Club, have talked about the project this morning. This prompted Charlamagne Tha God to share his unfiltered thoughts on the album, and as you can see, he couldn’t help himself from cracking jokes. In fact, this album was compared to elevator music by the radio legend.

“I don’t mind the vibes you know the vibes to me are the vibes you hear when you’re at a Beverley Hills luxury hotel,” Charlamagne stated. “This is lobby, elevator music. This is the vibes when you sitting in the lobby of the SLS hotel having some drinks on a leather couch with the lights dimly lit. You got a suit on, no tie, first couple of buttons on your shirt open, some slippers on, loafers no socks. I’m never going to revisit the album again but if it comes on when I’m in the lobby of a luxury hotel, I’m not mad at it.”

Lil Yachty Reveals How Drake Wrote His “Churchill Downs” Verse In Just 11 Minutes

Lil Yachty says that Drake recorded his verse on Jack Harlow’s “Churchill Downs” in under 11 minutes. The song is on Harlow’s most recent album, Come Home The Kids Miss You, and many Drake fans consider it to be some of his best work in years.

During an Off The Record Podcast discussion with DJ Akademiks, Yachty divulged the information. He added that the entire verse was in front of Harlow while they were on a trip together “out there in the islands.”

While the song has received a lot of positive feedback, PETA has called out Harlow and Drake for their support of the Kentucky Derby and requested them to donate the song’s revenues to racehorses. The two rappers may be seen hanging out at the Kentucky Derby in a music video for the tune.

Harlow informed The 85 South Comedy Show after the event that Drake had lost money by picking the wrong horses.

“I just told Drake I would bet what he bet, so I copied him,” Harlow said.

Regardless, he had a nice time: “There’s no price on meeting someone who taught you how to do it and having them say, ‘Yo, you’re dope,'” he said.

Drake Cheers On J. Cole At The Shooting Stars’ CEBL Game

Drake was present at tonight’s Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) game between the Scarborough Shooting Stars and the Hamilton Honey Badgers, where J. Cole was a member of the Shooting Stars. The Toronto rapper wore Cole’s No. 15 jersey while sitting courtside.

The Honey Badgers were able to maintain their dominance throughout the game, winning 84-69 over the Shooting Stars.

Cole joined the Shooting Stars in May following a year with the Rwanda Patriots of the Basketball Africa League. Cole was apparently placed in touch with the correct people to test out for the Shooting Stars by Drake, whose OVO partner Nicholas “Niko” Carino controls the squad.

Cole’s presence on the floor, according to Shooting Stars vice president Jamaal Magloire, is attributable not only to his celebrity, but also to his talent and work ethic.

“He just wants to be treated the same, which I thought was very admirable because he is a very special individual,” Magloire said, per Complex. “As far as the talent that he has, he’s played this game at a professional level in Africa, so, this is his second stint. We’re bringing him in here to play, contribute, and help us win games. That’s his goal as well. It’s gonna be fun and something that is great for the city of Scarborough and Toronto.”

Drake Pays Tribute To Sidhu Moose Wala, An Indian Rapper

Drake pays tribute to Sidhu Moose Wala, an Indian rapper and politician who was shot and killed over the weekend.

After being shot in the Mansa district, one of India’s most well-known rappers died last week. Sidhu Moose Wala, 28, was shot and died in his homeland of Punjab, according to rolling stone. On Sunday, videos and photographs of the murder scene leaked, showing him sitting in an SUV while people tried to resuscitate him. Moose Wala’s automobile was hit with at least 30 rounds of bullets, according to Punjab’s chief of police, VK Bhawra. Bhawra further alleged that Moose Wala’s death was the result of a gang feud.

Moose Wala was born in India but relocated to Brampton, Ontario, a suburb near Toronto, after graduating from university with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. On Sunday night, many Toronto artists, including Drake, paid tribute to Moose Wala. “RIP MOOSE,” wrote Toronto’s hometown hero with a photo of the murdered artist and his mother.

Sidhu Moose Wala became a leader of Congress in 2021, in addition to pursuing a promising musical career. In a Facebook post, Goldy Brar, a mobster stationed in Canada, claimed responsibility for Moose Wala’s death as retaliation for Vikramjit Singh Middukhera and Gurlal Brar. His death, however, was a political assassination by the Punjab Congress. Just one day before Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder, Punjab police removed the security of 424 politicians, including him.

Drake Won $17 Million While Playing Roulette When Lil Baby Walked In

Drake has a lot of luck when it comes to gambling, but one of his most recent and greatest wins may be credited to Lil Baby.

The OVO singer livestreamed himself playing roulette last week as part of a giveaway event with online casino platform Stake, in which he shared his winnings with fans all over the world.

Drake won $17.9 million on a single roulette bet at one point during the high-stakes session. Lil Baby casually walked into the room just as the Toronto native and his friends were erupting in laughter.

“You know why that happened?” Drake remarked this as he basked in the glory of his big win. “Because Baby walked in! That’s why.”

Drake’s lucky charm, Lil Baby, was much more than that. Aubrey mentioned during the Stake webcast that he was in the studio at his enormous Toronto estate working on a new collaboration.

“By the way, my brother Lil Baby’s in the studio right now. He’s cooking up, we’re working,” Drake told viewers. “But he’s gonna come and do some spins with us tonight too.”

Following “Wants and Needs,” “Girls Want Girls,” “Yes Indeed,” and “Never Recover,” the untitled single will join a growing line of Drake and Lil Baby collaborations that have all charted in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Drake And NBA YoungBoy Fights For The Most Streamed Artist Of 2022

Drake and NBA YoungBoy have long dominated streaming services, often ranking among the most streamed artists year after year. When it comes to mass consumption of their music, the two guys are once again neck and neck, according to Chart Data.

Drake and YoungBoy currently hold the top two rankings in terms of most-streamed acts in music in 2022. Drizzy presently has 200 million more streams than YoungBoy, at three billion compared to 2.8 billion. Several Hip Hop and R&B superstars, including The Weeknd at two billion streams, Kanye West at 1.9 billion, Lil Durk at 1.7 billion, Eminem at 1.5 billion, and Future at 1.5 billion, are tied for fourth place with 2.2 billion streams so far this year.

Hip Hop has been the most popular music on streaming platforms since 2017, and Drake and YoungBoy have only cemented their position. Drizzy already racked up 1.4 billion streams when Chart Data computed total streams for artists through the first two months of the year. YoungBoy came in second with 1.3 billion streams over the 10-week span, but other major talents like Kodak Black and Rod Wave haven’t maintained the same level of fan engagement.

YoungBoy surpassed J. Cole and Future in terms of certifications with 71 in February, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Despite being at odds with his label home, Atlantic Records, YoungBoy flaunted the outcome of his hard work on Instagram in the months following the RIAA’s initial declaration.

Drake Wins A Million Dollars After Betting On The Golden State Warriors To Rule The West

Drake enjoys risking his money. He’s been betting on Stake, an online betting site, all year, and it appears that he’s just won big again. Drizzy received a large sum of money on Thursday (May 26) when the Golden State Warriors won the Western Conference.

Back in April, the Toronto resident bet $200,000 on the Dubs to win the West, and he showed off his winnings on his Instagram Story Friday night. According to his account, the 6 God won a cool $1 million on his wager.

In the Western Conference Finals, Steph Curry and his brothers defeated Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks by a score of four games to one. They’ll play in the NBA Finals for the sixth time in eight years against the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals series between the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics, which Boston currently leads three games to two.

Drake has been betting on the Super Bowl and other NBA Playoff games on Stake. Drake has already wagered over $1 billion on Stake since joining on December 28, 2021, and he’s become such a fan of the site that he struck a deal to help promote it.

When Drizzy isn’t betting on basketball, he’s either playing or watching some games. He’s also assisting his pals in getting jobs with professional teams. J. Cole signed with the Scarborough Shooting Stars of the Canadian Elite Basketball League last week, and the 6 God had a hand in it.

Quavo Trolls Drake: “They Don’t Want Us At The OVO Arena”

Quavo is a basketball fanatic. Last year, the rapper claimed to be hip hop’s finest basketball player, and he’s been demonstrating his abilities. Last year, he and YK Osiris dominated Mustard in a game, and in a game of street basketball in Brooklyn, he embarrassed a fan.

The Migos member now appears to be setting his sights higher. Quavo showed off some of his basketball abilities in a recent Instagram story, with the remark, “They don’t want us at the OVO arena so we take 7 footers instead!”

Drake enjoys basketball as well. The rapper demonstrated his abilities in a 2-on-2 match in 2021. Since then, he’s made a large purchase in the basketball card market, and he and LeBron James have donated $100,000 to a high school basketball player and his mother. He’s also been working hard to teach his son the sport. A video showcasing Adonis’ skills was proudly released on Instagram by the Toronto rapper a few months ago. In a recent video, he showed his son imitating one of the game’s all-time greats, LeBron James.

Off the court, Quavo has been busy. He’s been avoiding inquiries regarding speculations that Migos is breaking up after Offset and Takeoff unfollowed each other on Twitter. He and Takeoff recently collaborated on “Hotel Lobby,” a hot new tune.

Lil Baby Brings Drake To Montreal Festival To Perform “Girls Want Girls”

Lil Baby was the main act on Saturday night. In typical festival fashion, he used his time on stage to bring out a very special guest  Drake  to sing their hit collaboration “Girls Want Girls,” from Champagne Papi’s Certified Lover Boy album.

Lil Baby couldn’t visit Canada without bringing his best friend with him.

While we’ve already seen performances from Trippie Redd, Tory Lanez, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Don Toliver, Polo G, Sheck Wes, and Lakeyah. We still have Lil Tecca, DaBaby, and 50 Cent to watch today at the Montreal Metro Metro Festival.

The crowd was ecstatic to see Drizzy, and they chanted along word for word as the Toronto native cheered them up, according to footage caught by a showgoer.

Drake and Baby have already showed their affection for one another on the road. But in 2018, the latter joined the former for the final stop of his Aubrey & The Three Amigos Tour in Atlanta, Georgia.

Nana Zen, David Campana, Emma Beko, Naya Ali, and Niska performed other Saturday shows prior to the father of one’s surprise pitstop.

Future’s “Wait For U” Ft Drake And Tems, Debuts At No.1 On The Billboard Hot 100 Chart

Future recently released I NEVER LIKED YOU, his eighth number one album in his career. The rapper’s latest album follows up on High Off Life, which featured the huge single “Life Is Good.” As Future and Drake reminisced on their hard work and desire for money during the start of the pandemic, the song became an unavoidable anthem.

Their track record together is undeniable at this point, and after years of creating timeless singles, they finally hit the top of the charts with “Way 2 Sexy” in 2021. Future’s first #1 single, Certified Lover Boy, debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following the publication of I NEVER LIKED YOU, they’ve done it yet again. This week, Drake and Tems’ “Wait For U” topped the Billboard Hot 100. According to ChartData, it’s also the week’s best-selling single. Since its release on April 29th, “Wait For U” has reportedly sold over 300,000 copies. This comes after the duo unveiled the song’s official video last week.

It’s a great day for Drake and Future, who have another another #1 on the charts together. Tems, on the other hand, earned her first Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper of her career. It’s unlikely to be her last.
