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.

Future Teases New Music And Talks About Working With Drake On “I’m On One”

 

Future recently released I Never Liked You, as well as the deluxe edition, which arrived on Monday morning. Future could have much more heat in store for the rest of the spring and summer, if not the year. This isn’t surprising, as fans have speculated that he’ll release two albums in a row, albeit there’s no proof of the rumor.

 

Future revealed plans to release new music before the end of the year in a recent interview with Apple Music. He stated that he intends to come through with more heat, but that he first wants to lay the groundwork for his artists.

 

 “I’m going to put music out. I’m going to put more music out, but my team, you know what I’m saying, little double oh, double oh seven, then Boston Richie and just got there and really just put music out with them. They dropping next, so it’s really about them. You know what I’m saying? Just showcasing the homies that’s coming up behind me or whatever. Just giving them that super work ethic. But they already building their own buzz up on their own, so it’s going good,” he said.

He also spoke about his standout collaboration with Drake on “I’m On One” later in the interview. While the two have had a long and fruitful connection on wax, the song came about when Future revealed it to the Canadian rapper.

 

“We just did those records just because it was just the timing of it, but it was inevitable, you know what I’m saying, for it to happen like that. I’m thinking I was in LA when I recorded that song [I’m On One] I played it for him after I did it. Once it was done, I played the record for him,” he stated.

Pusha T Shuts Down A Possible Collaboration With Drake & Kanye West

Pusha T ruled out collaborating with Drake following their recent internet feud despite Kanye West’s reconciliation with the Toronto rapper.

Many people wondered how Pusha T felt about Ye and Drizzy reuniting and putting their differences aside for the Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert. They also wondered if he would ever do the same. During a recent appearance on Shade45 as part of his It’s Almost Dry publicity tour, he addressed both questions.

“I thought that was good for them,” King Push said. I think they have this thing where, like, they sorta need to co-exist. Those two need to co-exist in their world and play within where they at.” 

Pusha T and Drake’s relationship deteriorated over time, and the two traded diss recordings. While King Push stated that he has no animosity toward the Toronto rapper, he also stated that he has no intention of working with him.

When asked if he’d ever collaborate with Drake and Ye on a single, Pusha T said, “Nah! No, I’m cool on all of that. I know the song I wanna make, I know the people I wanna work with, and it ain’t that. He continued, “I want Ye to produce it, but other than that, I definitely don’t wanna do a record.”

Drake Dropped From Chris Brown's "No Guidance" Copyright Lawsuit

Drake Dropped From Chris Brown’s “No Guidance” Copyright Lawsuit

Drake is out of a copyright infringement case launched in October against Chris Brown for his song “No Guidance.” Songwriters Braindon Cooper and Timothy Valentine claim the song is a rip-off of their song “I Love Your Dress,” which they released in 2016.

Cooper and Valentine will pursue Brown and Sony Music Entertainment in their lawsuit. On Tuesday, the two dropped Drake’s name. It’s unclear if this was due to a settlement agreement or a lack of faith in their case against the Toronto rapper.

On June 8, 2019, the song “No Guidance” was out and reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Brown’s album Indigo featured the song.

Brown and Drake defended themselves by claiming that they had never heard “I Love Your Dress,” which they described as “obscure.”

Cooper and Valentine stated that because an artist is more famous than another does not exempt them from copyright laws.

“This argument – essentially that defendants are somehow immune from copyright infringement claims by individuals who are not as famous as they are – is both egotistical and without any legal basis whatsoever,” they both stated in February. “Undoubtedly, regardless of their fame and status, defendants may be, and should be, held accountable for their infringement.”

Drake Adds A Major Streaming Achievement To His Resumé

Drake’s 2021 stream totals were so high that entire decades of music could not compete.

Every few months, music industry publications like Chart Research and Billboard update fans on the latest streaming statistics. The new data reveals that Drake has more slaps than The Beatles, and more slaps than all music published before to 1980 combined.

Drake’s Record Breaking Statistics

Drake had record-breaking streaming numbers in 2021, claiming that he out-streamed all music released before 1980 in all streaming platforms. 

The streaming stats were first reported by Luminate, and then Billboard investigated them and confirmed that Drake produced more demand streams than pre-1980 records.

Only 0.6 percent of music released between 1950 and 1979 got accessed with demand streaming, according to Billboard’s final analysis. Drake’s 8.6 billion on-demand streams alone accounted for 0.8 percent of total streams in 2021. 

Drizzy’s Grammy-nominated and chart-topping sixth studio album Certified Lover Boy was responsible for a huge part of his streaming. The album got derided upon its release, but according to Chart Data, it has sold 2,464,000 album-equivalent copies to date.

Drake's Stalker Demands That The Rapper Buys Her A New Home

Drake’s Stalker Demands That The Rapper Buys Her A New Home.

Drake was in court to face his alleged stalker, a woman he has previously accused of bothering him. She is causing him troubles. According to his lawyers, Mesha Collins had become such a serious nuisance that the Billboard chart-topper had to obtain a temporary restraining order to keep her away last month.

Now, his lawyer, Larry Stein, has filed court paperwork alleging that Collins continues to harass not only his client, but also him as Drake’s lawyer.

Drake’s Stalker Emails Lawyer, Requesting A New House For Her Birthday

Collins allegedly sent Stein a message on March 30 threatening to “invade [Drake’s] home again” if she didn’t provide her a new house and vehicle for her next birthday, according to RadarOnline.

“Please ask him to help me get a Brand New House and Car as my birthday is on April 29th. I will have no choice but to invade his home again. Please! I Love Him and need money,” She said.

Lawyer Actions About Drake’s Stalker

The lawyer claims that this contradicts the restraining order’s existing status, and he wants the courts to make it permanent, extending it for another five years.

Collins sued Drake for $4 billion last year, claiming that the rapper was leaking her personal information in his songs.

The judge has taken no action to modify the provisions of the ruling.

Pusha T Says Being a Father Has Changed His View On Drake Beef

Pusha T Says Being a Father Has Changed His View On Drake Beef.

Pusha T on Thursday spoke on an edition of Desus & Mero to promote his latest album, It’s Almost Dry, and to discuss his collaboration with mogul/rapper Jay-Z. Desus, though, addressed Pusha about his lyrical spat with Toronto superstar Drake and what prompted him to move on approximately six minutes into the conversation.

“You know what it is? I don’t like the energy of mentioning my son in that type of energy — or any kid in that type of energy,” he says referencing his first-born son, Nigel. “ It’s not my thing right now. I got my son! And it’s like, with me, I’m just not going to play about anything involving him. Like, I don’t play nothing. So it’s like, ‘You know what? I’ll just [leave it alone].’”

Pusha T and Drake’s Feud

The irony of this turn is noteworthy because Pusha T was the one who sparked their feud when he claimed Drake was hiding a child on “The Story of Adidon” in 2018. However, Pusha T and his wife welcomed their first child, Nigel Brixton, in June of 2020, giving him a new perspective on the verbal sparring.

“It’s selflessness,” he added. “And I’m very selfish, I’m a super selfish person; with my son, I have totally taken myself [out of it]. It’s all him first.”

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Pusha T’s fourth studio album, It’s Almost Dry. On Twitter, the Bronx rapper also announced forthcoming tour dates.

J Prince Says Kanye, Drake, Minaj, Others To Plan All-Star Concert On Grammys Night

/3 Comments/in /by

J Prince is pro who could get anything done musically. He was the one who ended Drake and Kanye West’s beef last year and the founder of Rap-A-Lot Records. Prince helped Drake and Kanye to organize their Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert. 

Prince took to Instagram to announce his plan to initiate  a ground breaking event. He revealed his plan on the Instagram post to organize an all-star concert. The essence is to express his displeasure with the removal of Kanye West from performing at the 2022 Grammy Awards concert. 

Prince called on Drake, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, Kanye West, and others to unite and plan a concert on the 64th Annual Grammy Awards night. He told them to plan the concert in Las Vegas where the Grammys will hold on the same night. 

Prince’s call for an all-star concert is coming after Kanye was removed from the list of artists to perform at the Grammys night. Kanye’s removal was due to his “concerning online behavior” towards Pete Davidson, his  ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Trevor Noah, and so on. 

Prince said, “I recommend that the artists I mentioned above — and more — come together in Las Vegas and perform at the same time as the Grammys on a special network and streaming platform to prove that ratings will change where the Grammys are concerned when the No. 1 selling genre in music — Hip Hop — come together. Because there’s power in numbers.

“The powers that be will be mad at me about this one. But fuck ’em! I love the culture. The seed has been planted; let’s water it.”

He added, “I’ve been watching the Grammys control and dictate our culture to their benefit up close and personal for the past 30 years. And all the artists, managers and executives would do is complain, but never have the nuts to come together to do anything about it. 

“This is a slave master, punish-a-n-gga mentality and act to remind us that no matter how much money we have, we’re still n-ggas in their eyes. So they cancel Kanye and discriminated against Drake, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj and many others over the years. This will only be broken by us uniting our powers to bring about change moving forward.”

The Grammys for this year are scheduled for April 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
