Drake Reacts To Fan Crying During His Tour

by

Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour with 21 Sav has been an absolute event to witness, whether for the performances themselves or the news that sprouted as a result. Still, it seems like some fans still have a pretty hard time even believing what they see in front of them, with one fan in particular getting noticed for it. Moreover, as a fan was apparently in tears during the 6 God’s performance of his track “Jungle,” he pointed them out to the crowd. “Why are you crying already? The show just started!” the rapper told the fan with a laugh.

Unfortunately, other fan interactions during this tour ranged from sweet to pretty disruptive and downright dangerous. Sure, an attendee ran out to hug Drake’s Slaughter Gang compatriot as the Atlanta trapper made his way through the crowd. On the other hand, some people pelted the Canadian superstar with bras, shoes, and much more during their recent Detroit stop. In fact, this followed an instance where someone threw a phone at him on stage, which could’ve been much nastier. While they are two incredibly beloved fan favorites in hip-hop, it doesn’t warrant them potentially getting hurt while they’re just trying to do their job.

In other news, it seems like neither artist really has a huge problem with that, as they went over their curfew for their Detroit show. Not only that, but their extended stage time actually cost Drake and 21 about $230K in fines, with restrictions of $10K per every extra minute they spent performing. Of course, the 36-year-old and 21 have pretty deep pockets at this point, so they can afford the minutes. Still, it’s a wild sight to see amid an era during which a lot of shows and festival sets cut artists short due to strict timing regulations.

Meanwhile, there are about 50 or so more shows to go, which will surely boast plenty of highlights. Whether it’s for their stage antics or how they please fans with their performances and setlist, this is definitely one of the summer tours of note. If you have a chance to see it in North America, we’d recommend you look for resale tickets if your city (probably) sold out. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake.

21 Savage Unveils Some NSFW Visuals On Tour

by

It’s only been a few days of Drake and 21 Savage’s “It’s All A Blur” tour and the shows continue to make headlines every night. Today, 21 is making waves for some new visuals he introduced at a show that are particularly NSFW. Hilariously enough, this isn’t even the first time NSFW visuals have been in the news from the tour. Fans were thoroughly confused when Drake started performing alongside holographic sperm on the first night of the tour. While 21’s new visuals do make a bit more sense, they’re far raunchier.

Earlier this year, 21 Savage teamed up with fellow Atlanta rapper Young Nudy for a track called “Peaches & Eggplants.” The track has been a pretty major success and as a result, Savage is playing it on tour. According to XXL, while the song was being performed some incredibly suggestive visuals of emoji peaches and eggplants shows up. If the implication wasn’t already obvious enough, the action that follows makes it extremely clear what Savage is going for with the visuals.

As expected, the “It’s All A Blur” tour has made waves with every single stop. At a recent show, Drake took pretty clear shots at Childish Gambino. The rapper’s #1 hit “This Is America” has long been reported to originally have been a Drake diss and clearly that’s something Drake hasn’t forgotten about. Fans thought that he might even be taking aim at Kendrick Lamar during a recent show though it’s much less clear.

Both 21 Savage and Drake have also had to dodge a lot more things on stage than they may have been expecting. Both have been approached by fans on stage. While in Atlanta a fan rushed the stage to give 21 Savage a hug. Though his security eventually intervened, he didn’t seem to mind that much. What do you think of 21 Savage’s new tour visuals? Let us know in the comment section below.

The Weeknd Sets Off On “After Hours Til Dawn” Tour

by

The Weeknd recently kicked off the second leg of his “After Hours Til Dawn” tour. The artist performed in London, rocking a futuristic mirrored mask. The stadium tour will see The Weeknd make over 30 stops across Europe and Latin America. It features notable dates in Paris, Barcelona, Milan, and more.

Earlier this week, it was also revealed that The Weeknd is set to appear on Travis Scott’s upcoming album. Amir Esmailian, XO Records co-founder and co-manager, shared the news this week. The Weeknd had previously been photographed alongside Travis Scott’s famous UTOPIA briefcase, but now, fans finally have confirmation. The highly-anticipated LP, UTOPIA, does not yet have an official release date. Travis Scott has continued to tease the album every chance he gets, even recently arriving to Michael Rubin’s White Party in the Hamptons in a UTOPIA tour bus.

The Weeknd has also been making headlines as of late for his controversial show, The Idol. He stars in the HBO series alongside Lily-Rose Depp, playing a toxic and creepy cult leader. The show has received a tremendous amount of backlash for it’s depictions of toxic relationships, self harm, nudity, and more. Despite ongoing criticism, The Weeknd has continued to defend the show, which he co-created with Sam Levinson. The finale of the series’ first season aired earlier this week, and The Weeknd took to social media to share his thoughts. “The finale,” he wrote, “Grateful to share this moment with you all as the season comes to an end. continue to push the vision no matter how bumpy the journey.” “Jocelyn Forever,” he added.

In a recent interview with Variety, The Weeknd explained that the show has managed to accomplish what they set out to do. “My goal was for people to feel that way when they watch it, you know, and that they’ll reassess (fame),” he explained. “It’s almost educational that this is what comes with being incredibly famous. You’re surrounded by people who you’re not sure what their true intentions are, even if it seems like they’re good. You just never know,” he continued.

21 Savage Fan Rushes To Him For A Hug During Tour Stop With Drake

by

21 Savage and Drake are currently stunning North America on their “It’s All A Blur” tour, which just kicked off in Chicago. Of course, everyone with a ticket is incredibly excited to see these two stars live, and that translated into some wholesome entrance antics. Moreover, as the Atlanta trap artist made his way to the stage, walking through fans in the crowd, one diehard in particular shot her shot. When the camera moved past 21, a girl ran to him for a hug, and the rapper smiled in response, even moving his arm a little bit as if to reach out and return the favor. But that moment lasted for half a second, as his security guard gently pushed her away.

Many might see this as odd, but it was actually kind of a wholesome and harmless interaction, at least in execution. We don’t know how much 21 Savage appreciates interactions like those, but based on his reaction, he’s always down to receive some love and give it back, as well. With a setlist as stacked as this tour’s, it’s no wonder that so many fans scream every lyric and are ecstatic to witness it in person. 21 played classics like “Red Opps,” new hits like his feature on “Peaches & Eggplants,” and all-time bangers like “Don’t Come Out The House” in addition to a few songs with Drake.

21 Savage’s Fan Interaction

Speaking of his Drizzy collabs, apparently 21 Savage isn’t that big of a fan of memes surrounding “Rich Flex.” For those who forgot, the Her Loss cut lit the Internet up with Drake’s lines about asking 21 to do something for him. While on tour, as the Canadian superstar sings that hook, the “Umbrella” MC shakes his head and laughs in disbelief. If he’s tired of it, he’s got bad news ahead of him, or rather, over 50 more shows to go.

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old creative also takes a lot of time away from his superstardom to be with his community. For example, he hosted a children’s basketball camp in Atlanta for Father’s Day weekend, teaching them to play. His Leading By Example Foundation brought the event to life with other professional hoopers. For more news and the latest updates on 21 Savage, log back into HNHH.

Drake Inspects Woman’s Bra On Stage: Watch

by

Drake is currently on the Its All A Blur tour with 21 Savage. Two nights ago, the tour opened up in Chicago, Illinois. Subsequently, the tour will be heading to Detroit this weekend before touring all of North America. Overall, the first two nights have been a massive success. Tens of thousands of fans have come out for this tour. Moreover, they have been blessed with some of Drizzy’s biggest hits. Whenever he goes on tour, he performs a plethora of amazing songs, and that is not stopping now.

Yesterday, we reported on how Drake was the latest artist to have a phone thrown at him. Thankfully, the artist was not injured. Instead, he just played the whole thing off and kept it pushing. However, on Thursday night, he had something much different thrown at him. Below, you can see a video from the tour in which a woman threw her bra at the legendary artist. Of course, Drake noticed right away and decided to inspect the bra in front of thousands of fans.

Drake Has A Moment

“Let me see what you’re working with,” Drake joked upon picking up the bra. Who threw this? That’s you? 36 double D. That’s some knocks, I ain’t gon’ lie.” The entire crowd got quite a kick out of this interaction. Drake is someone who knows how to entertain people, and he can improv pretty well on a dime. It was impressive, to say the least, and it is yet another reason why you should try and go to his tour. Although, expect the prices to be astronomical.

During the first night of the tour, Drake revealed that For All The Dogs would be dropping fairly soon. Today is new music Friday and the album is nowhere to be seen. Hopefully, it will arrive prior to the end of the tour. That would be huge for fans as it would mean his setlist would change considerably. Let us know your hopes for this new album, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Drake Meets Taylor Swift Lookalike And Immediately Makes A Joke

by

Overall, Drake is one of the biggest artists in the world. Consequently, he very much gets treated like it. Right now, the artist is on tour with 21 Savage as they go all across North America. The first two tour stops were in Chicago, and they were massive successes. As we reported yesterday, Drizzy showcased a ton of interesting visuals during the first night. Additionally, he dissed Childish Gambino which turned out to be quite the news story. Needless to say, the artist knows how to make headlines.

Last night marked the second night in Chicago, and for the most part, it went a bit smoother. Furthermore, this performance coincided with the release of Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). As it turns out, while in Chicago, Drake got to meet a lookalike of the famous artist. This subsequently led to him posting the encounter on his Instagram story. He did so with the caption “Congrats on the drop sis. Dialed in.” Overall, this is a pretty funny thing to do considering it isn’t actually Swift.

Drake With Some Kind Words For Taylor

The woman in the photo goes by the name Jaime Kitt Carson. She is well-aware of the fact that she looks like Taylor Swift. Although, she wasn’t going up to Drake in the context of whom she resembles. Instead, she was simply working somewhere when Drake arrived. She even detailed how he was very nice and the whole thing is quite humorous to her. That said, there are some people taking exception to her, albeit they are T-Swift stans who are known for their psychopathy.

As for Drake, he is looking to continue his tour this weekend in Detroit. From there, he will be heading to Boston as well as Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It has been a fun tour so far, and we can’t wait to see what else takes place. Let us know what you think of the Taylor Swift lookalike story, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the music world.

Drake Blasts Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” On Tour, Calls It “Overrated”

by

Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour with 21 S*vage just kicked off, and there’s no shortage of things to talk about. However, perhaps the spiciest and most potentially consequential part of the whole ordeal was him dissing Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” as part of his visuals. Moreover, it was fittingly during Drizzy’s performance of the track “Headlines,” where multiple headlines appear on a screen. “The Overrated And Over Awarded Hit Song ‘This Is America’ Was Originally A Drake Diss Record,” the screen read at one point. Of course, it’s entirely possible that this is all in good fun, but considering their history, it’s not particularly likely, either.

What’s more is that it’s kind of wild to think of Childish Gambino’s “This Is America,” a politically charged statement of a song, starting off as a Drake diss. Maybe that’s the point, as the 6 God isn’t one to engage in a lot of social topics in his music (which isn’t a bad thing, necessarily). Regardless of your interpretation of this shade, there’s a bit of conflicting evidence here as to whether there’s legitimate beef here. For example, photographers captured them at the 2018 Vanity Fair Oscars party, so maybe they’re just having fun with the outlets that will go wild over this news.

Drake’s Onstage Shade To “This Is America”

Furthermore, Donald Glover explained the origins of “This Is America” during a recent GQ interview. “The idea for the song started as a joke, to be completely honest,” Childish Gambino revealed. “‘This is America’- that was all we had, was, like, that line. And it started as a Drake diss, to be honest [laughs], as like, a funny way of, like, doing it. But then I was like, ‘This s**t sounds kind of hard, though,’ you know? So I was like, ‘Let me play with it.’ So we just had that for a long time.”

Meanwhile, the Canadian superstar actually appeared (albeit in animated and mute form) on Childish’s music video for “Feels Like Summer.” In addition, Glover used him as inspiration for the “Atlanta” episode “Champagne Papi,” titled not-so-subtly. In it, the character Vanessa goes to a party hosted by him, and he even responded to the episode: “This s**t is surreal, I’m too high for this.” Perhaps these two aren’t such enemies after all and are just playing around- and if they are their oppositions, well, let’s see how Glover reacts. For more news and the latest updates on Childish Gambino and Drake, come back to HNHH.

Drake Opens Tour Next To What Appears To Be A Hologram Of Himself

by

Drake is currently on tour with 21 Savage. The It’s All A Blur tour will take both of these artists all throughout North America. Overall, this is going to be a whole lot of fun, and fans cannot wait to see these artists in their city. Furthermore, last night was the first show of the tour. This took place in Chicago, and the United Center was completely packed. Subsequently, there is going to be a second show in Chicago tonight, before Drizzy and 21 head on over to Detroit and Boston.

Following the first night of the show, there have been many headlines and storylines making their way to social media. For instance, we now know the setlist for the show, as well as the merch, and even some of the projections that are being shown. Needless to say, there is a lot for fans to sink their teeth into. Although, perhaps the wildest part of the set was the way Drake intro’d the whole thing.

The Drake Hologram Appears

In the Twitter video up above, you can see how Drake was sitting next to a Hologram of his younger self. Moreover, he was performing “Look What You’ve Done” while sitting on a coach next to the Hologram. For now, however, it is actually unknown whether or not this was, in fact, a Hologram or just some other kind of projection. Either way, fans were pretty excited about it, and those who are about to witness it in future dates, are most certainly intrigued.

Hopefully, the tour continues to be a success. Overall, these tickets cost a whole lot of money. However, it does seem like Drake and 21 are putting on an incredible show. We will be at the show in Montreal on July 15th, and we can’t wait to experience It’s All A Blur in person. Let us know if you plan on attending the tour, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more updates from the music world.

Fan Throws A Phone At Drake On-Stage At First Show Of Tour

by

Drake and 21 Savage’s highly anticipated “It’s All A Blur” tour kicked off last night. The first show of the massive run took place in Chicago after the original opening shows were delayed. Fans in attendance were treated to a massive setlist of hit song after hit song from both artists. Drake also upped his stage design game in the wake of massive tours from artists like Taylor Swift and Beyonce. But even then he still wasn’t immune to experiencing the hottest concert drama of 2023. As has become increasingly common, someone threw their phone on-stage while Drake was performing.

While many artists likely would have taken things personally, Drake was the consummate professional. Even as a phone hits him in the arm and bounces off stage he doesn’t miss a note. In the video of the incident circulating around social media fans can be heard discussing what just happened. But the video is as obvious as it gets. While you can’t see who threw the phone or where exactly it comes from, the video gets the perfect angle to see it hit the rapper mid-song.

Drake Hit By A Phone On Stage

The cell phone-throwing drama is fresh in a lot of people’s minds because of one incident in particular. Last month pop singer Bebe Rexha collapsed on stage after being hit in the face with a phone. She ultimately needed stitches and the photos she shared of the aftermath went viral.

The phone-throwing was a minor hiccup in what ended up being a successful start to Drake and 21 Savage’s tour. During the show, Drake once again teased his new album For All The Dogs which is expected to drop this summer. He also erected a massive statue of Virgil Abloh. He paid tribute to the Off-White and Louis Vuitton designer who passed away in 2021. It was one of many elements of stage design and visuals that caught fans’ attention during the show. What do you think of a fan throwing their phone at Drake on stage? Let us know in the comment section below.
