Drake Shares Scary Cockpit Video Of Low Visibility Private Jet Landing

by

In the past few months celebrity private jet usage has come under a bit of scrutiny. That’s primarily because of the massive amounts of pollution caused by consistently taking private jet flights. Much of that scrutiny has been focused on by far the biggest polluter among celebs, Taylor Swift. But this time it was Drake volunteering himself to join the private jet discussion, though he’s probably hoping to avoid comments about pollution.

Drizzy took to Instagram earlier today to share a pretty scary video. He was allowed into the cockpit of his private jet where he filmed the pilot and co-pilot making a pretty impressive landing despite no visibility whatsoever. The video gives fans the rare view of what it looks like landing a plane and in this particular instance, the windows are completely blocked out by fog. “There’s a couple landings I love on Air Drake but tbh the low visibility is the most exciting it makes your heart drop a bit…lucky I got the best putting this sh*t wheels down” he captioned the video. Check out the clip he shared below.

Drake Takes Fans Into The Cockpit Of His Private Jet

In the comments some fellow celebs pull up with jokes. “They using ils you got nothing to worry about” a comment from 21 Savage reads. “Let me fly the plane” NLE Choppa hilariously remarks. Even Popcaan showed up commenting on Drake’s private jet “Lifestyle.”

Last month, Drake dropped the music video for his song “Rich Baby Daddy.” The track originally dropped on his album For All The Dogs last year and features both SZA and Sexyy Red. It’s still lingering on the Hot 100 months later and the video was framed around Red recently giving birth to her second child. The hilarious video has already racked up more than 11 million views on YouTube. What do you think of the video Drake shared of his private jet pilots landing despite there being no visibility? Did the clip make you more scared about being on planes? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy Was Allegedly Involved In Recording Studio Shooting, Lil Rod Claims

by

Diddy’s image and likeness has to be at an all-time low at this point. The rap legend’s legacy could be all ruined no matter how all of these allegations and lawsuits play out. The Harlem, New York native has been hit with sexual assault claims, treating co-workers unfairly, and everything in between. Furthermore, there are some believers and rumors floating around that Diddy and Meek Mill were intimately involved with one another. Now, Lil Rod, one of his most recent accusers, is back with some more serious declarations. According to him Diddy was an integral part in a recording studio shooting in Los Angeles.

Uproxx recently reported that this all happened in September 2022 at a producers’ camp at Chalice Recording Studio in LA. Lil Rod says that the shooting involving Diddy all went down after he heard gunshots following an quarrel in a bathroom. In the ensuing moments, Rod recalls that he saw him along with his son, Justin, leave the room. When Rod entered the producer saw Justin’s friend, “G,” on the ground with blood flowing out of his leg.

Furthermore, Diddy said that the reason “G” was bleeding was because of a drive-by, which Rod claims he was told to tell police that. However, there might be a plot hole in the producer’s allegations. The LAPD report says that the shooting involving “G” happened a few blocks away during failed robbery attempt. Additionally, police arrested three people two months later, crediting them with the shooting, most likely the assailants who were trying to rob “G.” Finally, Diddy’s attorney, who has had a busy past couple of months, says that he was not at the camp when the shooting went down.

What are your thoughts on Lil Rod accusing Diddy of a shooting incident at a recording studio? How do you think this allegation will play out? After all of these claims and lawsuit what will be Diddy’s fate? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated March 9, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

The Taylor Swift news cycle never stops, whether its bonus track announcements or concert film trailers. Through it all, though, “Cruel Summer” has stuck around on the Hot 100 top 10.

9. SZA — “Snooze”

It’s been a big past few days for SZA: Aside from her Hot 100 success (beyond this song, even, as you’ll see in a minute), she visited Sesame Street and won a BRIT.

8. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

McRae’s not getting greedy, but her hit did just move up a spot from last week on the Hot 100.

7. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves

As “I Remember Everything” holds onto its top-10 status, it continues to crush on other charts. Specifically, it’s No. 1 for the 27th week on both the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts.

6. SZA — “Saturn”

SZA has the week’s biggest debut with “Saturn” (the song she teased with a Grammys ad). The track is SZA’s milestone 10th top-10 song on the Hot 100. It also makes her the only artist this week with multiple top-10 songs.

5. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Two breakout hits round out this week’s top 5, starting with Swims’ “Lose Control,” which previously peaked at No. 2.

4. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”

Then there’s Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” which rises a spot this week to re-approach its previous high at No. 3.

3. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

After spending six non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” continues to float around near the top of the chart.

2. Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign — “Carnival” Feat. Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti

“Carnival” had a major surge this week, after debuting at No. 3 and then falling to No. 4 last week. The boost wasn’t quite enough to dethrone this week’s No. 1, though.

1. Beyoncé — “Texas Hold ‘Em”

This is the second week at No. 1 for “Texas Hold ‘Em.” Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s hit is also No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart for a third week, after making history as the first song by a Black woman to ever top that chart.
