Month: July 2022

When the full production credits for Drake’s seventh studio album, Honestly, Nevermind, were shared upon its release, many fans were delighted to see that Black Coffee served as one of the record’s executive producers. 

As previously reported, the Grammy-winning South African DJ and producer previously worked with Drake back in 2017 for the More Life standout track “Get It Together,” and most recently, Black Coffee contributed to the production for three Honestly, Nevermind songs, including “Texts Go Green,” “Currents,” and “Overdrive.” Roughly one month after the album’s release, Black Coffee showed some major love to his Canadian collaborator during his recent DJ set in Ibiza, and it turns out that Drizzy was actually in attendance and able to take it all in.

According to HipHopDX, Drake pulled up to Black Coffee’s set at the Hï Ibiza nightclub on Saturday (July 16) night, and after watching from the crowd for a bit, the OVO head honcho hit the stage to celebrate the moment alongside the Subconsciously artist.

At first, the crowd was barely moving at all due to the sheer shock of seeing Drake in the building, but after the “Jimmy Cooks” rapper moved to the stage, the vibe appeared to return to normal as the crowd started dancing along as Black Coffee played “Massive.”

Before he was the rap sensation that we know and love him as today, MoneyBagg Yo was a young man in the Walker Holmes neighbourhood of South Memphis, Tennessee with a dream. The 30-year-old began issuing mixtapes like From Da Block 2 Da Booth and October 20th as early as 2012, and now, he looks to be taking the New York Times back to where it all began.

Over the weekend, Big Bagg shared a video on his Instagram Story with reporter Jon Caramanica revealing that he brought the famed publication to his hometown, where plenty of patrons could be seen hanging out by them, grabbing snacks and smoking outside a building.

“New York Times in the hood,” the rapper told the camera, panning up from the journalist to show off more of Memphis. “We got New York Times in the hood,” he added again.

In another clip, Bagg tagged @officialrapsnacks as a store employee was filmed loading up some plastic bags with a variety of goodies. “Let Me Get All Dem,” he captioned it.

Without much context, it seems as though the CMG artist is working on some pretty big collaborations that he’s only just beginning to tease to his 8.3M followers.

In other news, MoneyBagg Yo was sure to go all out for his girlfriend Ari Fletcher’s 27th birthday last week, chartering a private jet (custom branded as Ari Air, of course) and loading her up with plenty of beautiful flowers and expensive jewelry – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more hip-hop news updates.
