Drake’s currently making his way around the U.S and Canada on his “It’s All A Blur” tour alongside 21 Savage. The tour has been making headlines for celebrity guests, updates on new music, and of course, fan antics. Recently, Drizzy took the stage at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and rewarded one attendee who really gave their all to be there.
In a new clip from the show, Drake calls attention to an audience member holding a sign. The sign reads, “Drake, I spent my furniture money on your two shows.” After reading it aloud, he announces that he’ll be giving the fan a huge gift in return for their dedication. “You know what my man, your furniture money? I’m gonna give you 50 bands,” he told them. As expected, the crowd went wild. The Canada-born performer went on to give a motivational message to his fans, explaining why we should treat others with kindness.
“Hey, listen,” he began. “This is what life is about. I’m trying to teach you something now. I want you to understand something tonight. You never know what the next person is going through. You never know what the person in front of you, to the left of you, to the right of you, behind you, is going through.”
This was far from the first time Drake was feeling generous while on tour. During his first “It’s All A Blur” tour stop in Vegas last week, he surprised another lucky fan with a luxury gift. While onstage he scanned the crowd holding a lime Chanel bag, and eventually handed it over to a woman in the front row. It’s clear that she appreciated his act of kindness. The tour is scheduled to continue into October, with performances in Houston, Miami, Atlanta, and more. Keep an eye on HNHH for more news and updates on Drake.
Chrisean Rock’s followers are saying that her pregnancy has felt lengthy for them to witness. We can’t imagine how things are feeling for the 23-year-old. She’s been sharing regular updates along her journey and recently confirmed that the baby growing in her stomach is a boy – much to Blueface’s pleasure. Rock also noted on Twitter that her due date is quickly approaching late last month, and while she didn’t get too specific about when her little one is due, it seems she may meet him today (September 3) based on her recent social media post.
“I’m so mad because I was supposed to perform today,” Rock tells her friend as the camera records. “Hopefully it’s just Braxton Hicks,” she continued, making it clear that she’s been experiencing contractions. “I hope it is, but this s**t has been going off all f**king morning and they hurt so bad I can’t sit down,” the Baddies cast member admitted. In the comments, many women with experience in the birth-giving department declared that this is a sure sign Rock will have her son in her arms in no time.
In other clips, we see the young entertainer straddling the seat of the car on her way to the hospital to make herself more comfortable. “Oh yup! That’s the position Pooh he’s coming today,” one person wrote. Despite the pain she’s obviously feeling, Chrisean seems to be in great spirits and was even laughing with her friends between taking deep breaths.
When Chrisean Rock and Blueface’s son grows a bit older, it’ll be curious to see if they allow him to watch their Cr*zy In Love series on Zeus. In the latest episode, the Baltimore native throws it back on her baby daddy while showing off her growing bump in a tiny outfit. See a preview at the link below, and let us know what you think Rock and Blue should name their new arrival in the comments.

Iggy Azalea took to the stage this weekend for the first time since having her show ended early in Saudi Arabia. Last month, Azalea had been performing at the Gamers8 esports event in Riyadh when her pants split open on stage. This led Saudi Arabian officials to usher Azalea off the stage, ending the show.
Azalea’s bounce-back came in São Paulo, Brazil as part of The Town 2023. Azalea put on a vibrant, joyous performance despite torrential rain soaking both her and the crowd. “I look like a wet rat . This was the most chaotic show I’ve ever done and probably my favorite. Don’t even care what I looked like or how wet we all were it was just fun and I hope I get to see you all again soon. Truly, I love you. Night. ,” Azalea wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after the show.

Furthermore, Azalea shared more of her feelings about the show. “Honestly? I felt genuinely moved by the entire day. I cried in the dressing room before, reading a fan letter (lol I’m a loser, but… happiness) then walked out to that energy & chaos in the rain. Im very grateful for the whole experience. ,” she wrote in response to one fan. Reports suggest that Azalea’s performance was attended by as many as 100,000 people. The Town is one of the biggest music festivals in Brazil.
Azalea is in the midst of her return to music after spending the last two years away from the industry. She released her first song since 2021, “Money Comes, at the end of August. It will likely debut on the Billboard Hot 100 next week. Meanwhile, Azalea has also been sharing snippets of upcoming releases. It appears that Azalea’s new album didn’t need Tory Lanez to produce it after all. However, few details about the album are available at the time of writing. How do you feel about Azalea’s return? Let us know in the comments.
When first purchasing tickets to famed music festivals around the globe, patrons don’t anticipate getting injured, or worse, losing their lives. Still, it’s unfortunately become a trend in recent years to see tragedies unfold amid large gatherings. Obviously, the worst we’ve seen would be Travis Scott’s 2021 Astroworld crowd-crush. However, TMZ reports that one person died at the 2023 Burning Man event after heavy rainfall turned the desert into practically pure mud.
According to the outlet, the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed an ongoing investigation. Few details are being released at this time, but it’s possible that the person’s death was related to the downpour. On Saturday (September 2), Burning Man attendees were urged to shelter in place amid the hectic weather. Things were so bad that many had become immobilized. Mother Nature’s mood isn’t expected to improve on Sunday. The forecast is notably calling for 40 mph winds, hail, and more heavy rain.
As with most music festivals, several celebrities were in attendance at Burning Man, including Diplo and Chris Rock. Rather than follow the guidelines to shelter in place, the DJ and comedian opted instead to hike five miles through the wild in hopes of avoiding being stuck in more terrible conditions for the rest of their weekend.
In a video shared on Diplo’s social media page, he and the Madagascar voice actor ride in the backseat of a truck with a group of strangers. It seems their celebrity status worked to its advantage. Fans spotted Rock and his pal and happily let them catch a ride back to civilization. Only emergency vehicles are permitted to be driving in the area for now, so it’s unclear how long it’ll be before other patrons are able to safely exit.
If you came across Diplo and Chris Rock struggling to escape the Burning Man Festival desert, would you stop to pick them up? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.
There is not much more to say about Drake anymore. His career in hip-hop will go down as one the most dominant in the genre’s over 50-year history. There might be artists that come somewhat close to the records that he holds. But, ultimately, whether you like him or not, Drizzy is one of the greatest to ever do it and not many will really touch him. That has to do with him being able to cater to so many audiences with his effortless crossovers into R&B, pop, and rap. Certified Lover Boy, is another example of that.
Another massive record in his discography, CLB, as it is often referred to, might not have won a whole lot of fans and critics. However, there are plenty of bangers and hits on his sixth studio album. Whether it is his knack to create incredible LP intros with “Champagne Poetry.” Or, it could be to create a party anthem with “Way 2 Sexy” with Future and Young Thug, Drake has songs that still get tremendous replay value. One of those tracks has to be “Fair Trade” featuring Travis Scott.
Listen To “Fair Trade” From Drake And Travis Scott
A smash track for both superstars, the song is about being okay with losing people who are not good for you. In that process, you begin to feel better about the outlook of your life, and Drake’s hook below had everyone creating Instagram captions with it. Travis Scott also delivers here after the slight beat switch in the second half. His verse echoes the same themes, showing how in sync these two are when they hop on a track. It adds to their fantastic collaboration catalog with songs like, “MELTDOWN,”“SICKO MODE,” “Company,” and many more.
What were your initial thoughts on “Fair Trade” by Drake and Travis Scott? Is this album and song still in your rotation? Where does this album rank in Drake’s discography? Are Drake and Travis one of the best duos in rap? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. So, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Quotable Lyrics:
I’m outside, twenty-nine, G5, seaside I’ve been losin’ friends and findin’ peace But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me If I ever hurt one and I’m still here Outside, frontline, Southside
Alabama Barker continues to appear unconnected from the “family emergency” that caused Blink-182 to postpone their European tour as drummer Travis Barker returned to the United States for “a family emergency.” The 17-year-old Alabama was seen posting various snapshots from a night of clubbing to Instagram. This included a custom neon sign at LA’s Bootsy Bellows that read “Bad Bitches Get Birkins Alabama”.
Prior to this outing, fans had been confused as Alabama dropped thirst trap TikToks hours after her father was calling for prayers from Glasgow Airport’s prayer room. Alabama posted videos lip-syncing a Coi Leray song while dancing in her pajamas. Meanwhile, more recent videos followed the same trend. Despite fans begging for updates, Barker’s next video was outtakes from her previous thirst traps.
Travis Barker And Kourtney Kardashian Leave Hospital

Meanwhile, fans got their first sighting of Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian since Barker returned home. Kardashian was still clearly very pregnant, ruling out the two most popular theories – miscarriage and premature labor. Barker and Kardashian were spotted boarding a waiting SUV surrounded by handlers and security. Kardashian announced her pregnancy, their first child together after marrying last year, at a Blink show earlier this year. The announcement went viral, especially after Kardashian used a fun reference to the “All The Small Things” music video to announce it. Alabama and Kardashian were spotted together as recently as August 18, according to images available on Getty Images.
No statement has been made about the nature of the family emergency, or when Barker will rejoin his bandmates in Europe. Blink-182 postponed shows in Glasgow, Dublin, and Belfast. However, it appears that it was serious enough that Kardashian was hospitalized for several days. It’s likely that now that she is out of the hospital, a statement or anonymous sources will emerge to explain the situation. However, for the time being, Barker’s daughter’s behavior continues to confuse fans. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as they emerge.
Ta’Kiya Young did not have to die. When it comes to a black woman, no one ever stops to think of her story. Unlike ‘Karen’s’ who have the ability to cry and get a response with a phone call, black women’s feelings, conditions, marital status, or mental health is never considered at first sight.
The senseless shooting of the 21-year old black woman, Ta’Kiya Young led to protests and an investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation into the use of deadly force by the police in Blendon Township. The pregnant mother was accused of stealing liquor when she was pulled over and killed in less than one minute.
Young was an aspiring social worker and mother of two boys, ages 6 and 3. She had been expecting a third child in November.
The Columbus branch of the N.A.A.C.P. has called for the officer, who, video shows, opened fire as Mr. Young drove forward, to be fired.
Ms. Young’s family said in a statement on Friday that the body-camera footage shows that her death was “not only avoidable, but also a gross misuse of power and authority.”
The police showed the video to Ms. Young’s father, grandmother and other relatives on Friday morning before it was released to the public, according to the family’s lawyer, Sean L. Walton.
According to the Blendon Police, two officers were in the parking lot of a Kroger supermarket on Aug. 24, helping a woman who had been locked out of her car, when a Kroger employee approached one of them and said that Ms. Young had stolen bottles of alcohol.
The video shows one of the officers walking up to Ms. Young, who was behind the wheel of a car in a parking spot, knocking on the window and telling her repeatedly to get out of the car.
“They said you stole stuff — do not leave,” the officer says.
Ms. Young remains behind the wheel and tells the officer that she did not steal anything, the video shows.
During the confrontation, the second officer walks directly in front of the car, commands her to get out and then draws his gun as she turns the wheel, the video shows.
As Ms. Young drives forward, and appears to hit the officer, he fires into the windshield, striking Ms. Young, whose car then rolls slowly forward and crashes into the wall of the shopping plaza, the video shows.
Ms. Young was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to Mr. Walton, who said that Ms. Young’s family believes her death should lead to an indictment of the officer who shot her.
In a statement released by Mr. Walton, Ms. Young’s family said, “As if the pain of losing Ta’Kiya isn’t enough, we must grapple with the knowledge that her unborn daughter was also robbed of her life in this hateful act.”
John Belford, the Blendon police chief, called Ms. Young’s death “a tragedy in our community.”
“Ms. Young’s family is understandably very upset and grieving,” he said in a statement. “While none of us can fully understand the depths of their pain, all of us can remember them in our prayers and give them the time and space to deal with this heartbreaking turn of events.”
Chief Belford said that he had placed both of the officers on paid administrative leave after the shooting, although the officer who did not fire his gun has since returned to duty.
Chief Belford did not release the names of the two officers, saying that they, along with Ms. Young, were “possible crime victims” whose identities cannot be released without a waiver under the Ohio Constitution and a state law known as Marsy’s Law, or the Ohio Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights.
The officer who shot Ms. Young was a “victim of attempted vehicular assault,” Chief Belford said.
The officer who was standing next to the car had his hand and part of his arm in the window when Ms. Young drove forward, making him “a victim of misdemeanor assault,” the chief said.
Chief Belford said he had asked the Bureau of Criminal Investigation to investigate the shooting.
A bureau spokesman said on Friday that the investigation was continuing and that the findings would be sent to the county prosecutor to determine if criminal charges were warranted.
The Blendon Police also released a version of the body-camera footage narrated by Russell Martin, a former sheriff of Delaware County, Ohio, and a former chief of police in Delaware, Ohio.
Chief Belford said he had asked Mr. Martin to “make observations and provide contextual comments” about the shooting without drawing conclusions about whether it was justified.
In that video, Mr. Martin says that the officer who shot Ms. Young was in “a clearly vulnerable position” directly in front of the car and adds, “Police officers are trained to draw their firearms when threatened with deadly force, which can be from a gun, a knife or a vehicle.”
Mr. Walton, the Young family’s lawyer, said that the officer had violated department policy, which states that officers should take reasonable steps to move out of the path of a vehicle instead of firing.
He also said that, according to a witness, Ms. Young had not stolen anything from the store.
The Blendon police referred questions about the theft accusation to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, which declined to comment, citing the continuing investigation.
In the days since the shooting, protesters have gathered outside the Kroger to express outrage at Ms. Young’s death and to demand accountability.
“Whatever she did, it doesn’t warrant her being shot and her unborn baby being killed,” Nana M. Watson, president of the Columbus branch of the N.A.A.C.P., said in an interview on Friday. “It’s tragic, and it’s horrific for this community.”
