Drake is continuing to run the internet. The rapper may have been taking L’s for the better part of the year, but he’s striking back. Not in a way any of us expected, either. Instead of dissing his ops direct, he has decided to release material that makes them look bad. Cue the footage of Drake effectively making Kanye West’s “Yikes” from scratch. The 6 God also took time to repost an old tweet that belittle J Cole. Drake and Cole’s relationship is tenuous at best, these days, and the former decided to have fun at the expense of his “First Person Shooter” partner.
The tweet was reposted on Drake’s new Finsta account plottttwistttttt. It was originally posted in 2019, and mocks J Cole’s relationship with his former Roc Nation boss, JAY-Z. “Remember when J Cole got his phone stolen out of pocket by a fan,” the user wrote. “They called JAY-Z from it but he wasn’t answering so they called from their own phone and he picked up.” Brutal. Drake knew exactly what he was doing by reposting this tweet. J Cole made it clear from the moment that he signed to Roc Nation that he wanted to harbor a close bond with JAY-Z. He saw himself as another Kanye-esque protege. Needless to say, it didn’t work out that way. Cole and JAY were never especially close, and the former found more success on his own.
Drake, on the other hand, has harbored a much closer bond with JAY-Z over the years. The latter has featured on four of the Toronto rapper’s albums. By comparison, he appeared on only one song for J Cole, despite the fact that Cole was signed to his label. Drake and JAY-Z have had their struggles on occasion, but it’s clear both men have respect for one another. It’s a much cleaner relationship than either man has with Kanye West, but that’s a different story. By resharing an old story in which JAY-Z ignored a call, Drake is casting doubt on how much respect Cole really gets in the industry. Especially among the acknowledged greats.
J Cole has already had it rough since the release of “First Person Shooter.” The rapper tried to fight back against Kendrick Lamar, then apologized and became a punchline. His bizarre verse on the Cash Cobain song “Grippy” didn’t help. Drake took a pretty big loss courtesy of Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” but at least he can say he didn’t back down. The Toronto rapper stayed in the ring, and earned the respect of icons like Rakim, LL Cool J and Ice Cube in the process.

YSL Woody has become an unexpectedly huge part of the Young Thug case. The YSL affiliate has been treated like a star witness by the prosecution. The problem is, Woody, real name Kenneth Copeland, is not keen on cooperating. He’s gone back and forth on whether he’ll testify against his boss. His latest court showing, however, may be his most memorable. YSL Woody took the stand, and instead of being cooperative, he decided to mock the judge. Needless to say, the prosecution was not pleased.
YSL Woody was informed that he will be held in contempt if he does not testify against Young Thug. This information was relayed to him by Judge Whitaker, who is relatively new to the case. YSL Woody went on to ask questions of his own instead of answering Whitaker. When pressed to make a definitive decision, Woody decided to be flippant. He was asked again whether he planned to testify, and responded with: “Depends on how I wake up.” YSL Woody’s response caused headaches for seemingly everybody in court. Judge Whitaker told the prosecution that Woody will have to clarify whether he plans to testify before actually giving his testimony.
YSL Woody Will Be Forced To Retestify Before The Court
Woody’s behind-the-scenes antics have complicated matters further. The YSL affiliate has reportedly fired two different attorneys that have been assigned to him. Judge Whitaker made note of this bizarre pattern, and maintained that Woody needed to clarify who is representing him at the moment. The YSL “star witness” has also spurred Judge Whitaker to look into his past. He has claimed, via social media, that he felt coerced into giving up information about YSL. The judge has subsequently decided to take the witness seriously. “I’m not sure about Mr. Copeland’s credibility on anything,” she asserted.
Judge Whitaker ultimately ruled that YSL Woody will haver to re-testify before the court. A transcript released to the public in July supported Woody’s claims that he was not fully aware of what he was doing during his initial court appearance. “You waited until Friday and did this,” he told his attorney at the time. “I done told you every day before Friday came that I was pleading the Fifth … Y’all done me wrong. Y’all just hold me in the jail, don’t let me get no PIN number, no nothing.” Woody is expected to take the stand again on Monday, August 12.
Drake is doing something. The rapper followed a mysterious Instagram account, and hours later, 100 GB of new material was released. New music, unreleased footage, alternate artwork, the works. It’s a dream come true for Drake fans, dating back to 2020. The thing that has us on the edge of our seats, though, is what the rapper has done since dropping 100 GBs on our head tops. Instead of laying low again, he has decided to follow another mystery account. Instead of teasing new material, though, the account seems to hint at “round 2” of a notable “fight.”
The account is titled “Indigo Child,” and doesn’t have a ton of followers. It’s the bio that really proves to be the only thing out of the ordinary. The information provided by the account seems to reference the 6 God’s recent 100 GB dump, and hint at more to come. “First account made some people anxious,” the bio reads. “Here we go again round 2 ‘FIGHT.’” Fans were definitely confused by the rollout for the 100 GBs release. The “round 2” could technically refer to a second drop of material, but it’s the “fight” part that speaks volumes. Drake knows what following an account with such an inflammatory bio will hint at, and he’s playing along.
Fans have been waiting for Drake to resume the Kendrick Lamar battle since the tepid response to the “Heart Part 6” diss. It was generally agreed upon that the 6 God fumbled the ball with that one, but it was also noted that there could be more to come. DJ Akademiks all but confirmed it during a stream in July. “It’s really never over,” the DJ noted. “I can’t wait to hear the first sneak diss.” Ak started to delve into more detail, but he decided to cut it off. “Matter of fact,” he said, before stopping. “I won’t even tell y’all what I heard.”
Furthermore, industry veterans like Ice Cube asserted that the battle could resume at any time. In June, Cube went on the Big Pod with Shaq and told Kendrick Lamar to stay ready. He felt that Lamar had won the battle up to that point, but noted that the story is far from finished. “[It] don’t mean Drake cant get off the canvas,” the rapper noted. “If I was Kendrick I’d stay cocked and loaded….” We’re very curious what the 6 God’s next move will be.
Co-parenting isn’t always smooth sailing, and new court documents suggest that Kehlani and her ex, Javaugn Young-White, have been navigating rocky waters. The acclaimed singer has recently captivated audiences with her vocal support of a ceasefire in Palestine, encouraging her peers to boldly speak out on political issues. As praise began to roll in from those who agreed with her views, a shocking personal life twist emerged after Young-White filed a lawsuit against Kehlani regarding their five-year-old daughter, Adeya Nomi.
Young-White, a musician, and Kehlani Parrish reportedly began dating in 2018 when they were said to have met or worked together. Adeya would arrive in March 2019, but the couple decided to end their relationship only a few months later. Details regarding their breakup were kept close to the vest, yet, in interviews, Kehlani suggested that she and Young-White were a healthy balance.
“I have a 2-year-old daughter…She’s the best. Me and her dad are like really, really close friends, and the decision to start a family was really easy for us because we both believed in each other’s ability to be good parents,” the singer said back in 2021. “We just focus on being a team, honestly, and when I was able to tell him I’ve come to newer terms with my sexuality and he’s super, super, super supportive,” the singer said.
However, it was recently announced that Young-White is taking the mother of his daughter to court. In his lawsuit, he is asking for full custody of Adeya, alleging that Kehlani belongs to a cult led by an abuser who is helping to keep the little girl from her father. Kehlani has yet to answer these accusations. We also recognize that Young-White has made further allegations on social media, including claiming Kehlani practices Santeria and lies about his sexuality. The singer revealed that she was a lesbian years ago and stated that the father of her child was bisexual. For this breakdown, we will focus on some of the more scathing claims made by Young-White in court documents only in his plea to gain guardianship.
Kehlani Is Accused Of Being In A Cult
To begin, Young-White shone a light on how Adeya entered the world. “Adeya was born through a home birth orchestrated by what I would describe as a cult that she belongs in,” the documents read. “The main reason that I am filing this petition is that [Kehlani] has been involved in this cult for the past few years and it appears that this cult controls her actions and her behavior, including when it comes to the upbringing of our daughter.”
Throughout the paperwork, Kehlani’s mental state is underscored. Young-White is adamant that the singer is being manipulated or controlled in her “cult” environment, making it difficult for him to see or spend time with Adeya. He is also asking the court to require Kehlani to undergo a psychological examination to determine if she is mentally fit to care for their daughter.
Javaughn Says His Name Isn’t On Daughter’s Birth Certificate
Because Adeya wasn’t born in a medical facility, there were issues regarding her birth certificate and legal documents. “Due to the fact that Adeya was born in a home and not in a conventional setting like a hospital, my name is not on Adeya’s birth certificate,” he wrote. Since Adeya was born, he has requested Kehlani amend the paperwork to show he is her father. However, Young-White added he can’t get an answer from Kehlani regarding when and if that will happen. Moreover, the guitarist asserts he isn’t even sure if Adeya has a Social Security number, suggesting that Kehlani will not communicate with him. Young-White admitted that there was a time when he would accompany Kehlani on tour and care for their daughter.
The Alleged Cult Leader Said Javaughn Would Kill His Daughter
Regarding this alleged cult Kehlani is a part of, Young-White explained that he hasn’t been able to have much contact with Adeya because of an alleged “vision” the group’s leader had. “For example, the cult leader, who goes by the name of Neto, convinced Respondent that he had a vision that I was a danger to our daughter and would kill her.” He said Neto told Kehlani that Young-White would harm the little girl and “banned Respondent from allowing me to see Adeya.” There are also allegations that “religious ceremonies” are being performed on or around Adeya, and during those times, “no one is allowed to be in the room.”
Javaughn Claims The Cult Leader Was Accused Of Sexual Assault
More about Neto is sure to surface in the coming weeks, but Young-White is ensuring that his perspective of the purported cult leader is included in the lawsuit. The musician stated that Neto has “numerous accusations of committing sexual assault” involving young girls and adult women. This is an obvious concern if true, with Young-White stressing that “random strangers” have been set in place to look after Adeya when Kehlani is busy. These people reportedly include Neto and other members of the alleged cult.
Young-White also mentions a woman associated with the cult who he knows as “Messiah.” According to him, Messiah is one of several members of the cult who have been allowed to bathe and sleep in a bed with Adeya. He further said in the documents that Messiah uses psychedelic drugs while taking baths with his daughter.
Javaughn Wants Full Custody
As previously stated, Young-White is petitioning the court for full custody of his and Kehlani’s five-year-old daughter. He also wants her name legally changed to “Adeya Parrish Young-White” and wants evidence of the girl’s Social Security card and birth certificate records. The musician also wants his name added to Adeya’s birth certificate. “I am not here to disparage [Kehlani]. However, the environment that she has created for herself is not the type of environment that a child should be living, and therefore, I bring myself to the mercy and wisdom of the Court to save my daughter before it is too late.”
It was also emphasized that Young-White attempted to come to a resolution without going to court. However, he claims Kehlani “resorts to disparaging me online to her millions of social media followers” rather than “addressing [his] feelings” head-on. Kehlani has not publicly responded to the claims, but her friends have taken to social media to defend her name.
Drake really blitzed fans on August 6. The rapper decided to drop over 100 GB of new and unreleased material. There were some songs thrown in for good measure, but the truly revelatory material came in the form of video footage. One of the most notable was the footage for “Yikes.” Drake received a credit on the 2018 Kanye West song, but it appears as though the rapper was single-handedly responsible for coming up with the hook. It’s easy to see why the 6 God leaked this session, in particular.
Drake can be seen recording in an Arizona Diamondbacks jersey. The footage sees him harmonizing over the Kanye West beat that anchored the final song. What’s evident from the session, though, is that Drake was figuring out the hook for “Yikes” in real time. The pieces of what would become the finished version can be heard during the first few seconds. “Sh*t could get menacin’, frightenin’, find help,” the Toronto star sings. “Sometimes I scare myself, myself. Sh*t could get menacin’, frightenin’, find help…” He runs through the hook a few more times during the nearly three-minute session.
Drake Worked Extensively On Kanye West’s 2018 Album
To be clear, Drake’s work on “Yikes” is not a ghostwriting situation. He’s credited as one of the main songwriters on the song, alongside Consequence and 070 Shake. It’s more that Drake’s contribution to the song appears to be the most substantial of anybody involved in its making. The footage aligns with the picture that Drake painted when it came to Kanye West’s 2018 recording sessions. The rapper said that West wanted to become his “Quincy Jones,” and help boost his career, during an appearance on HBO’s The Shop.
“[Kanye] sold me on this whole speech,” Drake recalled. “Like, ‘I’m in a great place, I’m making money, I’m a father. I wanna be Quincy Jones and help you. But in order to do that, you gotta be transparent with me and you gotta play me your music and tell me when you’re dropping.” The Toronto rapper said that he fell for Kanye West’s pitch, and was subsequently burned by him. West famously surrounded the release date for Drake’s Scorpion with his own GOOD Music albums. “I was in the studio and I guess we all felt a genuine vibe from it,” the rapper admitted. Now, fans have footage of this genuine vibe.
The shocking and untimely death of Baltimore Ravens star Jacoby Jones rocked the NFL, but now Jones’ cause of death has now been revealed, according to news reports.
The medical examiner revealed today(August 6) that the Super Bowl champion died from Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease, which stems from long-term high blood pressure.
Jones’ cause of death is listed as natural.
Back in July, Jones was found dead in his New Orleans home, leaving family, friends, teammates and friends with more questions than answers.
“My brother, you will truly be missed,” Hall of Famer Ray Lewis said after receiving the news his Ravens teammate’s passing.
“They can’t take the memories and the hard work you put in on and off the football field. You always gave back and always a pillar in the community, a Ravens for life. Love ya JJ”
