Drake Unveils “Anita Max Win” Tour Dates For 2025

by

Drake has finally announced the tour dates for his Australia and New Zealand trek in early 2025, which he dubbed the “Anita Max Win” tour. If you don’t know what or who that is, then we recommend you do some digging into the viral streaming clips that have surfaced over the years featuring The Boy, as this is his gambling-loving, Kick-streaming “alter ego” of sorts. He will touch down in Melbourne (Rod Laver Arena on February 9 and 10), Sydney (Qudos Bank Arena on February 16 and 17), and Brisbane (Brisbane Entertainment Centre on February 24) before wrapping things up with two Auckland shows at the Spark Arena on February 28 and March 1.

Furthermore, this will be Drake’s first visit to the region since 2017 and tickets for it will go on presale starting Tuesday (December 3), with the general sale beginning on Friday (December 6) at 12PM local time. He performed a lot over the past few years as part of his It’s All A Blur trek, so he’s going to have the energy and muscle memory to really impress. We wonder if the Toronto superstar will just run through his hits or if he will also play material from his collab album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, which is hopefully out by then.

Drake’s “Anita Max Win” Tour

Of course, the irony behind Drake’s “Anita Max Win” tour is not lost on fans. It stars on February 9, which is the same day as Super Bowl LIX and its Kendrick Lamar-led halftime show. We wonder how much of this is due to coincidence and how much of it is by design, because it’s impossible not to make that connection.

But their beef just took a wild direction and might involve a courtroom – or at least, something that sprouted from the battle and not the showdown itself. Drake’s legal petition against Universal Music Group and Spotify could be a massive moment of change in the music industry. Maybe nothing comes of it, which would render this move as one of the worst optical decisions in hip-hop history. Either way, it probably won’t make the “Anita Max Win” tour any less of a success.

Drake Announces “Anita Max Wynn Australia Tour” Begins Same Day As Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

by

Drake plans to hit the road while Kendrick Lamar performs the Super Bowl halftime show. On Sunday’s xQc Livestream, he announced that his “Anita Max Wynn Tour” will begin on February 9, 2025. The Australian tour kicks off the same day as Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. After Lamar was announced as the halftime performer, snubbing Lil Wayne, the halftime show has been trending. Kendrick was named as the upcoming performer after Lil Wayne voiced his desire to perform for his hometown crowd since the previous Super Bowl.

The rap star joined Nicki Minaj and Birdman in trolling NFL Super Bowl ambassador Jay-Z after Weezy lost out on the performance. Kendrick would address Lil Wayne’s Super Bowl comments on GNX’s intro, “wacced out murals.” After releasing three diss tracks last spring, including “Not Like Us,” Lamar took shots at Drake throughout the surprise album. Drake recently referenced a Kendrick Lamar line from “Euphoria” while commenting on popular streamer Pokimane’s thoughts on him. Drizzy would respond to the stream with, “Is it the braids?”

Drake Will Be Out Of The Country For Kendrick Lamar’s Halftime Show

The tour announcements follow Drizzy’s comments on Kendrick Lamar’s new album and the current state of rap. On GNX, the 6 God said, “I’m here, as you can see, fully intact. Mind, body, and soul. In case you are wondering, right? You need facts to take me out. Fairy tales won’t do it..” On the rap, he told xQc, “Rap music is weird now anyway.” Drizzy would also restrict The Weeknd’s music from being played during the stream.

Throughout the last half-decade, Drizzy has consistently been on tour. The NFL allegedly asked him to perform thrice at the Super Bowl halftime show, but he declined. With eight studio albums, he has become the highest-streaming artist in rap. He is preparing a new joint album with PartyNextDoor, set to be released this fall. He released his latest solo album, For All The Dogs, in 2023.

Drake Releases Infamous “Anita Max Wynn” Hat And Instantly Runs Out Of Stock

Drake is someone who has his hands in a little bit of everything these days. Overall, he made his name off of his music. Sure, he was an actor before that, however, it was his music that made him an international superstar. Even today, Drizzy continues to drop music that tops the charts. His latest project, For All The Dogs, is already platinum and it has some big hits on it. Furthermore, he is even on pace to go on tour with J. Cole this year, which is going to prove to be a massive moment.

Over the past few years, Drake has been getting himself into the world of sports gambling. He has a massive deal with Stake, with whom he places all of his bets. Stake is a brand that has a lot of money right now, and they are marketing whizzes. They have deals with numerous famous streamers, and they even started the streaming platform Kick. Overall, Drake is their biggest influencer, and he has certainly brought in a lot of business. Now, Drizzy and Stake are getting into the hat business together.

Drake x Stake

On Monday, the two released four different colorways of Drake’s now-infamous Anita Max Wynn hat. Of course, this is Drizzy’s gambling alter ego. It is meant to mean “I need a max win,” which is clearly a gambling term. When Drake first revealed this alter ego, fans accused him of being zesty. However, it is clear that the artist does not care what people think. Instead, he is going all in with it. After all, it is making him and Stake some money. Not to mention, the hats immediately sold out, which means you will have to wait your turn if you want one.

Let us know what you think of the hats, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Rappers are often fashion icons, setting trends for their fans to follow with their own style choices. They also love to employ alter egos, both to allow themselves to explore expanded creative themes and to sometimes provide distance between the personal and the professional.

Drake indulges both tendencies with the release of a new merchandise offering, the Anita Max Wynn trucker hat, which plays on a viral meme about Drake (of course). During a December livestream, Drake showed off the hat, calling the anime character on it his “alter ego” and explaining that the name is a homonym for “I need a max win,” a reference to his hobby, gambling. The character references his appreciation for anime, albeit in a more “safe for work” way than he has in the past.

The hat will release in two colorways, both of which will be available on Drake’s site, drakerelated.com, beginning today.

This isn’t the first time Drake has turned one of his viral moments into merch; he’s previously released merch related to criticisms about him such as his “Huge Fan Of Your Old Stuff” shirts. Fittingly enough, it’s the 10-year anniversary of his infamous lint roller moment, which he turned into promotion for his beloved Raptors. It just goes to show, you can make fun of Drake all you want, but he only grows stronger every time.
