Drake Says “Free Tory Lanez” &”Free Lil Durk” During DRIZZMAS Livestream With Adin Ross

by

Drake takes a moment to say, “Free Tory Lanez” and “Free Lil Durk” at the beginning of his DRIZZMAS livestream. Tory Lanez and Lil Durk face serious legal situations, with Lanez battling a shooting case and Durk battling two murder-for-hire cases. Drizzy acknowledged his collaborators with Adin Ross as they toast to the incarcerated with shots of tequila. Drake and Lil Durk collaborated on the 2020 hit “Laugh Now Cry Later.” Drake and Lanez were former rivals before squashing the beef in 2017.

Drake’s shout-out follows Tory Lanez’s releasing a track, “Handling Business,” earlier this month that goes at Kendrick Lamar. On the track, Lanez raps, “I have been praying and waiting for the day that people confront me the way he did, Drizzy.” Drizzy’s support for Lanez caused a beef with Megan Thee Stallion that she addressed on “HISS.”

Drake acknowledges love for Young Thug and can’t wait for new music from Atlanta artists during the DRIZZMAS livestream with Adin Ross on Thursday night (Dec. 26). Drizzy expressed his excitement for Thug’s forthcoming music when asked by Ross while giving away gifts. Young Thug was recently released from two-year detainment last month after accepting a plea deal in a RICO case. “I can’t wait for new Young Thug music,” said Drake in the first hour of the livestream. “Welcome home, Thug.”

It is rumored that the 6 God gave Thug a million dollars after his release from jail. Drizzy appeared on Young Thug’s latest album, Business is Business, released in June. Before being released from Fulton County, Young Thug acknowledged Drake on X, formerly Twitter, asking for a truce between him and Future. Future would acknowledge Thug’s request with a repost.

Drake Says His PartyNextDoor Joint Album Is ‘One Of The Projects I’m Most Proud Of’

Drake has had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year, but he’s looking forward to righting the ship in 2025. He’s promised a joint album with PartyNextDoor, which could help him return to form after his late-2024 output failed to connect with audiences. Although they’ve missed their projected autumn release date, they’ve apparently been taking the slow-cooked approach to ensure that it lives up to Party’s promise that it’ll be a “classic.” We haven’t heard many updates, but during his livestream with Adin Ross, Drake shared some details of the album.

“Me and Party is, honestly, one of the projects I’m most proud of in my life,” he said. “I’ve always to wanted make a full album of our sound, Toronto sound, R&B. The best that both of us have to offer… The listening party has to be in the city.”

Drake could certainly use the goodwill. When even sports analysts like Stephen A. Smith and the Inside The NBA crew are criticizing his decision to get the courts involved in his feuds, it looks like his reputation needs a hard reset. You can argue about how effective doing a livestream with fellow Torontonian Adin Ross will be toward that end — it’s a friendly outlet, to be sure, but does little to address the “culture vulture” accusations leveled against him latelly — but at least he knows what his fans want. The real trick will be splitting the difference between them and the wider hip-hop audience.

Young Thug shared a tweet seeking a truce between the rivals. Pluto would repost Thug’s tweet.

Future spoke on the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake and expressed his frustration with GQ in November. Pluto told GQ: “He said ‘Big Three’ on my song. I’m supposed to be the one who gets mad.” Lil Baby expressed his frustration with being mentioned in the beef. Baby talked about it in a recent interview with Charlamagne Tha God. Drake was one of the first superstars to embrace Lil Baby and Gunna. Drizzy dissed Gunna in 2024 after accepting a plea.

Doechii’s incredible promotional run for Alligator Bites Never Heal keeps getting better — and it’ll apparently extend into the new year. The Swamp Princess teased the video for fan-favorite “Denial Is A River” on Twitter with a hilarious trailer utilizing the Family Matters theme song meme. Dropping on January 2, 2025, the video will apparently feature Baby Tate, DJ Miss Milan, Earl Sweatshirt (amusingly credited as “Brad Pitt”), Rickey Thompson, Schoolboy Q, SiR, Teezo Touchdown, and Zack Fox.

Doechii previously performed the song on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and Genius’ Open Mic with Issa Rae, and in her NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert. However, it really does not look like fans are going to tire of the witty track any time soon.

The breakout artist’s 2024 has seen her launch a sold-out headlining tour, steal the show at Tyler The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw, and give back to the community at TDE’s annual Christmas concert. From building buzz by flexing her freestyle skills with her Swamp Sessions to playing along with fans’ Hamilton jokes, Doechii owned the year… and looks to keep right on owning things in the new one.

Watch Doechii’s “Denial Is A River” video teaser with Baby Tate, DJ Miss Milan, Earl Sweatshirt, Rickey Thompson, Schoolboy Q, SiR, Teezo Touchdown, and Zack Fox below or here. You can watch the full video on 1/2/2025.

Jay-Z Fires Back: Tacks on Defamation and Extortion to Lawsuit Against Accuser’s Attorney Tony Buzbee

by

Jay-Z is not taking the attacks and accusations lying down. The Hip Hop mogul has taken legal action against attorney Tony Buzbee, accusing him of defamation and extortion in response to a recent sexual assault allegation.

Those are some big accusations in what is shaping up to be a counter lawsuit against the prolific attorney who has been representing many of the Diddy accusers and now an anonymous accuser suing Jay Z for sexual assault.

Get this, the lawsuit, filed on December 20th, alleges that Buzbee and his law firm attempted to extort Jay-Z by threatening to publicly release false accusations of sexual assault.

The rapper claims the defendants demanded a significant payment to silence the allegations, which could have severely damaged his reputation.

What’s more, the controversy stems from a civil lawsuit filed against Jay-Z by an anonymous woman who alleges that she was sexually assaulted by the rapper and Sean “Diddy” Combs at an after-party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Jay-Z has vehemently denied these claims, calling them “false and malicious.”

Here’s the thing, in his lawsuit, Jay-Z alleges that Buzbee rushed to the media to publicize the accusations without proper investigation. He further claims that Buzbee has a history of making public statements about celebrities, accusing them of misconduct without evidence.

Buzbee has dismissed the lawsuit as “patently frivolous” and denied any wrongdoing. He claims that the legal action is an attempt to intimidate him and silence his client.

But is it? Seems like a war of words but somewhere there are merits that will be proven or not.

As the vicious legal battle unfolds, both sides are digging in, with Jay-Z determined to clear his name and hold Buzbee accountable for his alleged actions.

Wild times going into 2025.

BREAKING: Judge Shields Jay-Z Accuser, Slams Rapper’s Lawyer’s Tactics: ‘Waste of judicial resources’

by

Seems like the holidays are not so happy for some involved in Jay Z’s case involving a SA accuser.

So here’s what just broke. According to reports from Hollywood Unlocked and other outlets, New York judge has ordered that the woman accusing Jay-Z of rape will remain anonymous. The decision comes as a blow to the rapper’s legal team, who had aggressively sought to reveal her identity.

Things got zesty when Judge Analisa Torres criticized Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, for his “combative” tactics and “inflammatory language.” She dismissed his repeated attempts to expedite the case, calling them a “waste of judicial resources.”

The salacious lawsuit, filed under the pseudonym “Jane Doe,” alleges that Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually assaulted her at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards after-party. The plaintiff claims she was drugged and raped by both men, with another celebrity allegedly witnessing the assault.

What’s important to not is that Jay-Z’s legal team has strongly denied the allegations, suggesting that the lawsuit is part of a larger extortion scheme. However, the court’s decision to protect the accuser’s identity underscores the seriousness of the claims and the need for a fair legal process.

Whether the accuser remains anonymous or is ultimately named, one thing is for certain, this case is far from over.
