Drake Fans React To His New BMW That Looks Suspiciously Like Tupac’s

July 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake recently hung out with 50 Cent in Toronto and seemed to have a great time, but one of his most talked-about social media posts from this session has nothing to do with Fif. Instead, fans raised their eyebrows at a black BMW that he featured on his Instagram Story, which many felt looks suspiciously similar to the BMW in which Tupac Shakur was tragically shot and killed in 1996. But just like with many other things related to these two MCs and a certain Compton lyricist in 2024, things aren’t that simple. It’s not even the same model as the ‘Pac one, but maybe the image and similarity alone is what Drizzy intended.

Of course, we’re referring to the mentions of Tupac’s ring and Drake’s use of a ‘Pac A.I. voice during the 6ix God’s beef with Kendrick Lamar. During K.Dot’s “The Pop Out” concert in Los Angeles, he changed one of his lyrics in the “Euphoria” diss track to the following: “Give me Tupac’s ring back and I might give you a little respect.” This came after the West Coast legend’s estate threatened legal action against the Toronto superstar for replicating his voice without consent, which Aubrey then accused Kendrick of setting up.

Even though this and other social media jabs have folks thinking that Drake still wants smoke with Kendrick Lamar, the biggest likelihood is that these attacks will remain as Internet jokes and probably not manifest in full-on diss tracks. According to DJ Akademiks, he’s looking forward to giving fans “what they love” from him, which could include a Kendrick subliminal. But this phrasing suggests that the OVO mogul will focus on making great music and being the versatile force that fans can’t get enough of. Only time will tell…

Meanwhile, Drake has some financial opportunities and offers to consider as well that aren’t a curiously evocative BMW purchase. Lupe Fiasco recently suggested that he should buy Dame Dash’s shares in Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z. “@champagnepapi will keep it safe for generations to come,”he posited. “This is grail and influenced an innumerable amount of rappers to see it peddle such a lack of grace genuinely hurts my feelings a little bit. But also on savages s**t f**k it…either donate it to a museums for safekeeping or seriously let Drake make an offer so he can put in where it needs to be. Or just keep the s**t OG you should be infinitely proud of this. Without it there is no me as I am and I’m sure other MC’s will agree.”

Tyler, The Creator Reflects On Diddy’s Son Posing With His BMW

June 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyler, The Creator recently opened up about his experience attending the annual Pre-Grammy Roc Nation Brunch in February. He told Rap Radar Podcast that in attending Jay-Z’s event, he was the only person allowed to park his car in front, while other attendees had to shuttle. He claims that it was one of his “top four moments” of feeling cool. The artist did, however, reveal one downside to having priority parking at the event. He says that Diddy’s son, Christian Combs, flexed with his car at the event, posing for Instagram photos alongside the BMW E30.

“Illest part of the Roc Nation Brunch, I went for three reasons. I always wanted to go just ’cause I never went,” he explained, “Two, I was curious what food they had there. And three, I wanted to see how many times I could be called ‘king.’ I counted nine.” Tyler, The Creator continued, “And the illest part is Jay let me park my BMW right in the front. Everybody else had to shuttle. He let me park it right in front in the hills. Probably top four moments I’ve ever felt cool. Like, the textbook cool.”

Tyler, The Creator then explained, “My homie sent me two weeks ago Christian Combs’ Instagram and these motherf*ckers had a photo shoot with my car in front of the God damn Roc Nation! And I saw Christian last night and I shoulda told him, ‘N***a, don’t sit on my God damn car!’ I like Christian, I’m just saying, but that was ill.”

During the same podcast appearance, he also discussed his experience working alongside NBA YoungBoy. “Dude, we got Ice cream we went to go vintage car shopping. He’s so nice, He sent his verse back in a day,” the artist revealed. He continued, “At surface level, I guess people wouldn’t expect someone like me to even want to associate with a YoungBoy. But I love that sh*t. He’s a sweetheart, man.”

According to TMZ, it all began when a police officer noticed a broken-down BMW car blocking a road. Upon investigating and taking Ray’s information, he says he discovered a number of outstanding warrants. The “Paperwork Party” rapper was subsequently arrested.

The charges include improper possession of a weapon, driving with a suspended license and missing a child custody court appearance. They are all just misdemeanours.

The report from TMZ further indicates that the car is brand new. Ray had allegedly just driven it off of the lot.

The Detroit native is undeniably one of the hottest rappers of 2022, coming off yet another successful year. He dropped two full-length projects, as well as a number of singles this year alone.

Beginning with the release of FACE in January, the 31-year-old has continued to flood the streets with his music.

Arriving two months later, the LP’s deluxe includes eight additional songs and boasts features from DJ ESCO, Lil Yachty, LUCKI, Veeze and Baroline.

Earlier this month, he dropped his second album of the year, MOB. Featuring singles like “Spend It” and “Nice Guy,” the 18-song project further showcases his versatility and Detroit grit.

Ray was named one of XXL‘s freshmen of the year in June, alongside the likes of Nardo Wick, Saucy Santana and fellow Motown spitter, BabyTron.

In his freestyle for the campaign, he showcases his steady flow and flexes his success. “I had to tell her ass to slow down, quit runnin’ after me / You know yo mans will get smoked down, he like a pack to me / How it feel that you the G.O.A.T. now? That’s what they askin’ me,” he raps during the acappella freestyle.
