Drake Linked To Streamer Accused Of Exploiting Minors For Revenge Porn

by

Drake is on the of a PR nightmare. The rapper was in the process of moving on from the Kendrick Lamar battle, and doing so effectively. He dropped “100 Gigs” of content for fans, and teased a collab album with PARTYNEXTDOOR. Unfortunately, dirt from the rapper’s past has been dug up. Drake went on a Kick stream with a woman who goes by the name Snoh. The rapper has given Snoh shout outs in the past, and urged fans to give her a follow. The streamer, however, has been accused of coercing and manipulating minors into performing sexual acts.

Snoh has been accused of making “revenge porn” in which she convinces girls to show off parts of their body on a stream, and then records them without consent. There are allegations that the streamer does this with underage girls as well, but again, nothing has been proven. What has been proven, though, is the fact that Snoh and Drake seemingly have a good relationship. Drake has urged people to follow the streamer’s account, and has even appeared on streams himself. One such stream, which was deleted but was subsequently dug up by fans, is not a good look.

Drake Has Urged Fans To Follow The Kick Streamer

Drake appears on the stream with Snoh and a girl who is clearly identified as 18 years old. The clip in isolation is harmless, as the girl and her friend attempt to determine if it’s really Drake or someone who looks like him. In the context of what Snoh has been accused of, though, it’s alarming. The Twitter profile sum_offfff posted the aforementioned clip of Drake. The profile also dug up footage of Snoh coercing a number of different people to show off their bodies on camera. It’s pretty damning.

Drake has, obviously, a dubious track record when it comes to interaction with younger women. Kendrick Lamar based most of his diss campaign on this very suspicion. Dot alluded to these borderline, or maybe even illegal behavior on “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us.” The latter turned a joke about Drake and minors into one of the catchiest phrases of the year. Drizzy adamantly denied these accusations on the song “The Heart Part 6.” As many will remember, though, the rapper’s rebuttal was not the most well received.

Drake Unveils Massive Renovation Plans For Private Jet “Air Drake”

by

Drake is making big moves. The rapper dropped “100 gigs” of unreleased material, and frankly, we’re still sifting through it all. One of the most unexpected pieces of material in the drop, though, pertained to the rapper’s private jet. Drake is planning to give a massive facelift to the aircraft he’s been riding around in for the last decade. A facelift that will include changing the reference to his iconic 2015 mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late on the bottom of the plan. Instead of reading: “If you’re reading this we left,” it will read: “Chances are she’s onboard.” Heartbreak Drake in full effect.

This is not the first time the rapper has made changes to “Air Drake.” In 2013, the late Virgil Abloh added a cloud pattern on the exterior. Another reference to an album: Nothing Was the Same. The new version of the PJ is going to feature a darker shade of blue, however. In keeping with the sky analogy, it will look less like a cloudy day and more like an overcast evening. Oddly enough, “Air Drake” has been a subject that generates controversy in the past. The rapper was criticized by the public when he was took a few short flights on his jet in 2022. The shortest of these flights was 7 minutes.

Drake Has Been Criticized For Taking Short Flights

Drake responded to the criticism by noting that he’s not organizing these flights. There are meant to be for maintenance and convenience with regards to upkeep of the jet. “This is just them moving planes to whatever airport they are being stored at for anyone who was interested in the logistics,” he explained on Instagram. “Nobody takes that flight.” This was around the same time that Taylor Swift was catching heat for her perceived overuse use of private jets as well. The rapper’s explanation was deemed unsatisfying by many, but it eventually blew over.

The most recent controversy surrounding “Air Drake” stemmed from the rapper’s beef with Rick Ross. The two men traded bars and social media insults, and Rozay decided to provide some background on Drake’s jet. He told Instagram followers that the jet was made in 1996, and warned Drake to be careful when he flies since the aircraft is so old. The weirdest part of the back and forth is that Ross eventually had a flight malfunction of his own. He was forced to crash land his own private jet on May 3. The MMG boss took the situation in stride, though. “My jet just crashed,” he jokingly tweeted. “Drake OvO F16 fighter jet just shot us down.”

Fans Think G-Eazy Dissed Halsey On “WORK Pt. 4” And Here’s Why

by

G-Eazy and Halsey did not part on good terms. An understatement, we know. The two artists dated from 2017-18, and ever since, things have been tense. Well, at least one way. G-Eazy has been much vocal in terms of discussing the relationship in the intervening years. This is partially why fans think the Oakland rapper threw at shot Halsey on his newest song. G-Eazy dropped a verse on the English language remix for the AZEEZ song “Work.” It’s a pretty forgettable verse on a cursory listen, but a few lines stuck out as pertaining to Halsey, in particular.

G-Eazy spends the second verse of the song talking about an unnamed woman. He flexes about how he runs the Bay, but gets much more specific with subsequent lines. “Actin’ innocent, no, it’s not your first time. We’re far away if Libra is her sign,” he raps. G-Eazy then goes on to lament the fact that this girl is unable to change. “Oof, danger, danger (Danger, danger)/Don’t be a stranger (Don’t be a stranger),” he adds. “She said no one can save her.” It’s worth noting that this is the sort of material G-Eazy has always rapped about. The thing that gives listeners reason for pause, though, is the specificity of the signs that were mentioned.

G-Eazy References Halsey’s Sign On The New Song

Halsey’s birthday is September 29, which makes her a Libra. The rest of the verse can then be read as an indictment of the singer, and the time she spent with G-Eazy. It wouldn’t be the first time the rapper had harsh words for Halsey on a song. He threw a pretty harsh dig at the singer on his 2019 song “I Wanna Rock.” He dismissed their entire relationship. “No Limit, all I got is Me, Myself & I,” he raps. “When I said it’s her and I, that sh*t was a lie.” Not enough? Don’t worry, because G-Eazy ran it back with a full album of disses in 2020. Everything’s Strange Here is practically dedicated to Halsey, and the pain she caused the rapper.

There isn’t enough time to sift through all the Halsey references, so we will focus on the song “Had Enough.” G-Eazy really aired out the dirty laundry on this one. “All them lies that you was tellin’ on me. Hoping I lose, you hope an L is on me,” the rapper lamented. “She would tell anybody, she’ll go and tell her homie. She would go on TV, she go on Ellen on me.” Halsey threw a few shots back on her singles “Without Me” and “Die for Me.” It would probably be best if both of them move on. At least, musically speaking.

Drake Slapped With Copyright Strike After Dropping Unreleased Music

by

Drake dominated the news cycle when he dropped “100 Gigs” on our collective headtops. The rollout worked, as fans sifted through unreleased footage and reactive positively to new collabs with Latto and 21 Savage. The only problem was, Drake’s label did not appreciate the drop. Universal Music Group, aka UMG, issued a copyright strike against the rapper on August 9. They ensured that the three new songs Drake put out were taken down. They are no longer available to stream on the rapper’s official website.

The copyright strike was actually confirmed by Drake himself. The rapper took to his recently revealed Finsta account, @plottttwistttttt, to share the notification he received from UMG. The screenshot stated that access to the content had been restricted due to reports from a third party. The third party, being, of course, Drizzy’s label. It’s currently unknown which new song triggered the copyright strike on the part of UMG. The only song that’s gained traction, “It’s Up,” has done so due to 21 Savage’s combative verse.

Drake Signed A Massive Deal With UMG In 2021

Drizzy’s relationship with UMG has been a topic of speculation in recent years. The rapper reportedly signed a “LeBron-Sized” deal with the label back in 2021. Variety reported that the deal incorporated every facet of Drake’s business: recordings, publishing and merchandise. Neither UMG nor Drake has divulged the specific dollar amount that was agreed upon. The latter, however, did allude to owning his own masters on the 2021 song “The Remorse.” Drake has not spoken publicly about his interactions with UMG, but it was widely theorized that the label got involved in the recent battle involving Kendrick Lamar.

TMZ claimed that UMG was putting a halt to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef in May. A supposed leak stated that the label was concerned about the impact the beef would have on the rapper’s sales. “Drake is losing the beef in UMG’s eyes,” the document read. “So from UMG’s perspective, the sooner than this beef ends the better.” Despite gaining some traction online, UMG quickly shut down the rumor. The reps for the label asserted that they had no involvement in the battle. “Kendrick and Drake’s beef is between them,” their statement noted. “UMG just doesn’t think it’s their place to step in either way.”

Rick Ross Gets Sued Over Lack Of Wheelchair Accessibility At Car Show

by

It’s been an undoubtedly busy few months for Rick Ross, and unfortunately for the performer, it looks like he now has some new legal issues to deal with. Ross hosted his annual Car & Bike Show back in June, and a man named Darris Straughter couldn’t have been more excited to attend. In fact, he says he went the extra mile to ensure he had a great experience, paying for travel, lodging, and a ticket well in advance.

Sadly, however, Straughter was ultimately unable to go, as a wheelchair-accessible shuttle bus allegedly never arrived to pick him up as promised. As a result, Straughter has filed a lawsuit against Ross for alleged breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. He’s seeking damages, and requesting an order that will require the car show to accommodate those with disabilities in the future.

In the suit, Straughter claims that he reached out to the venue two weeks before the event to let them know that he needed accommodations for his wheelchair. Allegedly, they promised that a shuttle bus would pick him up from the parking lot to take him to the event. After hours of waiting, he gave up, and eventually decided just to return to his hotel.

The suit also states that event organizers promised a refund to anyone who didn’t get into the event. Straughter and his lawyer allege that nobody followed up with him in the end. Ross has yet to comment on the lawsuit. What do you think of Rick Ross getting hit with a new lawsuit because his car show was allegedly not wheelchair accessible?

Kai Cenat Begs French Police To Release Travis Scott: Watch

by

Travis Scott got on the wrong side of an altercation on August 9. The Houston rapper was arrested for getting into a fight with his bodyguard at a luxury hotel in Paris. According to People Magazine, Scott’s representatives are still working to get the rapper freed. “We are in direct communication with the local Parisian authorities,” they noted in a written statement. “To swiftly resolve this matter and will provide updates when appropriate.” Apparently, Scott’s legal team aren’t the only ones working to get him out though. Kai Cenat, streamer extraordinaire, decided to offer assistance as well.

Cenat was also in Paris for the Olympics, and decided to roll the dice with French authorities. He went up to a random squad car and asked that Travis Scott be released ASAP. “Please, just free Travis right now,” he said to the officer behind the wheel. “Everybody’s concerned, everybody’s worried, so we gotta get him freed.” Kai Cenat voices frustration when he realizes the officer doesn’t speak English. He then goes to a Black officer and attempts the same routine. The second officer confirms that he doesn’t know who Scott is, but Cenat isn’t buying it. “Bro, Travis Scott,” he asserted. “It’s lit! Fein! Y’all just had arrested him yesterday.” No dice. The streamer walks away from the interaction empty-handed.

Kai Cenat Told Authorities That Fans Were Worried

Kai Cenat and Travis Scott have developed a close friendship over the years. The latter has called Cenat during his streams, and have even linked up for 24 hour streams in the past. Cenat is also a huge fan of Scott’s music. He regularly posts reactions to new Scott music, and even went viral when Scott went 0 for at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Cenat was visibly frustrated by the fact that Travis Scott failed win any of the rap categories. “Who decided this motherf*cker?,” the streamer asked. “Who the f*ck decided this motherf*cker? Her Loss? Utopia? Metro Boomin?”

The viral moment happened back in February, but has actually become relevant again. Killer Mike, the rapper who beat Travis Scott in multiple categories, seemingly dissed the Houston rapper on his new album. Mike evidently felt a way about the pushback he got from celebrity names like Kai Cenat, and asserted that he was deserving of the wins. “You gon respect me like a motherf*ckin’ Grammy winner,” Killer Mike rapped on the album. “Like I cooked your favorite rapper like a Granny dinner.”
