Drake Seems To Wave The White Flag With New Instagram Story Post

May 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Well, after almost two months of build-up, a full week of warfare, and about 11 years of anticipation, it seems like the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef is over. Moreover, the latter just posted the following message on his Instagram Story, captioning a painting of a lone samurai against an army with: “Good times. Summer vibes up next.” Of course, this is a pretty vague message, although the painting itself seems to reference the “20v1” that The Boy rapped about on “Push Ups” when much of the industry went against him. But what about this beef was exactly “good times,” and what does he mean by “summer vibes”?

According to some Drake fans who commented under the post below, they’re expecting some more bangers from him in the summertime to get back on schedule, prove his hit-making ability, and knock that “Not Like Us” diss track off the charts. They believe he won the battle by dropping “The Heart Part 6,” which Kendrick Lamar hasn’t responded to at press time. No matter where you fall on that debate, it’s fair to say that any victory was not just a close call, but a pretty dark one considering the allegations they levied at each other. Also, things got really serious in the Toronto superstar’s personal life in ways that aren’t directly connected to the beef, but surely made things more stressful.

Furthermore, it’s fair to say that both Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s next moves will carry a different sort of weight compared to the usual excitement around their drops. Fans will likely reach across the galaxy for subliminal diss theories, rejoice when Aubrey Graham makes a hit song, and unpack any elusive statement from Mr. Morale. They both gained incredible commercial success and record-breaking achievements as a result of their battle. At least for now, and in the traditional rap battle sense, it seems like things are done.

Meanwhile, us fans are debating what the best song and diss was out of all of this, as well as whether Drake or Kendrick Lamar came out on top. What would be your picks for these debates? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments section down below. We’ll have to wait and see how this event evolves in contemporary hip-hop history, and whether there is an epilogue to this story.

Did Latto Confirm Drake’s Relationship With Her Sister? Some Fans Think So

March 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Turns out that the rumors around Drake dating Latto’s sister Brooklyn Nikole might have more weight than anticipated. Moreover, fans arrived at this conclusion after the 777 artist reposted one of Drizzy’s latest Instagram snaps, in which he took a photo of a bottle of water with a “Clayco” label. This is notable for them because, according to speculation, the Toronto superstar raps about Nikole on his remix of 4batz’s “act ii: date @ 8” with the line: “What kind of water they serving in Clayco?” Clayco, short for Clayton County, Georgia, is where Brooklyn and her sister are from, and a lot of people saw this repost as confirmation of their fling.

However, a lot of people rightfully pointed out that Latto doesn’t need any other reason to shout out Drake, because she’s shouting out his reference to her hometown. No relationships needed to show someone love for showing their home city some love. Regardless, people immediately started comparing this alleged romance to Jalen Green and Draya Michele, and it seems like this is a rumor mill that will not close anytime soon. After all, there are still so many alleged relationships and flings around our favorite MCs that should’ve been fully debunked years ago.

Latto & Drake’s IG Activity Leads Brooklyn Nikole Rumors To Go Wild

Not only that, but all these rumors also got folks speculating on whether Drake and Latto will team up for a collab. It seems a bit unlikely, considering the latter’s animosity towards the former’s Young Money partner in crime, Nicki Minaj. Still, the 6ix God brought Cardi B out for a show once, so who’s to say he has to play by expected beef rules? Either way, they’re on good enough terms for the Gram, so we guess that anything’s possible in the near future.

Meanwhile, the “Sunday Service” spitter is all but confirmed to be in a relationship with 21 Savage. You see what we meant about certain “couples” just being mostly rumors? Well, while they’ve never outright confirmed that they were together, it’s just a narrative truth that social media tends to follow. In any case, we wish all these folks the best in their romantic lives. For more news on Drake, Latto, and Brooklyn Nikole, stick around on HNHH.

Drake Labels PARTYNEXTDOOR “The Real GOAT” Ahead Of New Single

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is the biggest PARTYNEXTDOOR fan in the world, and he couldn’t be more exciting about the upcoming release of PARTYNEXTDOOR 4, or P4 for short. Moreover, the Toronto crooner, making his comeback very soon, announced yesterday (Monday, March 11) that he’s dropping another single for the project this Friday titled “Real Woman” following the previous one, “Resentment.” “The real [goat emoji] is back this Friday @partynextdoor,” Drizzy wrote of his OVO partner on Instagram in the caption of a post of the single’s cover art. It’s been a very long time since we heard from PND in a full-length capacity, and fans can’t wait to see how he comes back to the R&B and soft trap world.

Furthermore, Drake previously praised PARTYNEXTDOOR and previewed P4 while visiting his homecoming show in Toronto. “I’m going on tour but Party droppin’ PND 4,” he said back in May of last year. “First of all, can I just say on behalf of everybody in this room, can you come home more, please? Please! I would not be the artist I am if it wasn’t for you. And that’s not, like, even some, like, I get on stage with people and I’m nice sometimes. But this is really, actually, like, my favorite artist in the world and I love this guy.”

Elsewhere, during a recent Billboard interview, PARTYNEXTDOOR spoke on his feelings about P4. “This is the hardest I’ve ever worked on an album,” he shared with the publication. “This is the proudest I’ve felt. I’m excited to grind even more for the next [one]. I’m in love with how hard you should work for it.” In the same conversation, the 30-year-old recalled making “Come and See Me” with Drake.

“I went to see Drake in the studio in Toronto,” OVO Sound’s first signee revealed. “He just said, ‘Yo, I want to play this record.’ And the 40 beat, that beat was amazing. You know, you just felt it right away. And he had a hook idea on it. So we took it back maybe two months later. I was like, ‘You know what? I gotta find something for this.’ Me and Prep locked in an Airbnb and I recorded that song on the edge of a bed in an Airbnb. And yeah, I just didn’t know it was gonna be that. I love that record. It’s one of my favorite records. And that was just magic.” For more on Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR, log back into HNHH.

Drake Recreates Iconic Kentucky Basketball Meme: “All My Brothers Left Me”

March 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake rocks Kentucky blue on these… you know, and it’s one of many, many incredible memes of him over the years. Some are a bit more insulting than others, a few are just funny no matter what, a couple are pretty cringe, but one of the most enduring and random is the photo of him sitting in University of Kentucky basketball gear amid the actual team about a decade ago. In fact, it’s wild to see familiar faces in that pic such as a young Devin Booker sitting right in front of the 6ix God in the original meme. However, it looks like the Toronto superstar recently went back to visit, and decided to fool around for old times’ sake.

“Oh hell nah all my brothers left me [crying laughing emojis],” Drake captioned a new snap of him in the exact same position as the original Kentucky meme and dressed in almost the same exact same get-up. The only difference is that now he’s alone in the pic, so it looks like he still needs to work on his jumper and a more consistent transition defense if he wants to become a star. Jokes aside, it’s heartening to see Drizzy acknowledge his impact on pop culture. He’s obviously known it for years and years, but some artists never really reckon with their importance in meme culture. Plus, the 37-year-old hasn’t let his age dilute his sense of humor.

Drake Revisits One Of His Most Iconic Memes

Elsewhere in the world of OVO, there are some new dating rumors swirling around its boss. Moreover, Drake and Latto’s sister Brooklyn were recently spotted together, prompting a lot of speculation. At first, folks thought there would be a collab between the two MCs, but then they realized the depth of the potential tea here. While it’s not uncommon for him to get rumors like this floating around, they are a bit more rare than other celebrities.

Meanwhile, Sexyy Red recently thanked the “Virginia Beach” hitmaker for all the gifts he gave her so far over the course of their friendship. Some of those gifts will be only for one person, which in this case is the St. Louis star. But others, like the many memes of him over the years, are treasures that we can all share. Good luck next year, Aubrey, we know you’ve got one heck of a floater. Log back into HNHHH for the latest news and more updates on Drake.

Drake Admits Biting This Underground Group For “Headlines” Music Video

March 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

No matter how big or how small you are as an artist, you’re bound to constantly take inspiration from other things to craft your art. Even Drake knows this, as he recently took to his Instagram Story on Thursday (March 7) to celebrate The Table of Nonsense, an early 2000s rap album from underground Canadian group The Empire. In fact, his frequent production partner, OVO mainstay, and close friend Noah “40” Shebib appears in the project’s artwork, and he commented on this via this IG Story post. “@ovo40 this flick is incredible I think I bit this swag for sure,” the Toronto superstar expressed online.

Then, he shared a screenshot for the music video for his 2011 hit “Headlines,” and you can see the parallels between a shot from the visual and The Table of Nonsense‘s cover art from 2003. “@ovo40 yup, there it goes,” Drake wrote on this second part of his Instagram Story reminiscing. It’s a mood that he often jumps into with a lot of nostalgia, frequency, and cheekiness, and it’s curious to see these less-scoured origins. Furthermore, we’re sure that Drizzy and 40 will have a lot more memories to share and celebrate in the future, and that more inspiration points will make themselves clear.

Drake Shouts Out The Empire On His Instagram Story

Both screenshots via *HipHopDX* in “Via” link below, via Instagram Story @champagnepapi

“My original rap crew circa 2000, these guys taught me how to make records when I was 17,” 40 wrote of The Empire back in 2015. “Craven Morehead, Talksick, Adam Bomb, Joker aka Joe Keezy, Tek Man, Mr. Shebib, Scandalis, T.R.A The Rhyme Animal, Nickel Bagz, P.I.L, Dj Shortcut, Meziah, special shout outs to Friday, Skinny The Nutcracker and Quackas.” Meanhwile, Drake found a recent “muse” in a certain St. Louis native, and we’re sure that Sexyy Red could say the same about the 37-year-old.

Meanwhile, history is still being written, and he’s still finding inspiration. The “Evil Ways” spitter recently teamed up with 4batz to remix his breakout hit. We’ll see what else inspires him in the 2020s… and what else he “bites” from. Regardless, for more news and the latest updates on Drake, keep checking in with HNHH.

Drake Tries To Shut Down Conspiracy Theories After Finding “Illuminating” Body Wash In His Hotel

March 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As one of the biggest celebrities in the world, it’s no surprise that Drake is not exempt from Illuminati conspiracy theories. Sure, he hasn’t engaged in the “Satanic” fashion choices or lyrical allusion that many tinfoil hat proponents point to with other stars to prove their sold soul. But the Toronto rapper knows very well how these accusations can start in a flash, and is taking measures to clear the air early. Moreover, he found an “illuminating” body wash in his hotel room and, in an Instagram video on his Story, warned his assistant that this is how these rumors fly.

“To my assistant, right? This is how rumors get started, bro,” Drake told his IG followers while holding up the bottle of soap, including a GIF of the Illuminati pyramid. “This is how rumors get started. Somebody in the hotel cleaning up is going to see this like, ‘Oh, oh, he’s using that ‘illuminating’ body wash, huh? That boy needs that ‘illuminating’ body wash, interesting. Interesting fact, you know, about Drake. ‘Illuminating’…” We wonder if this hygiene product (and secret society) is what’s been fueling Drizzy and J. Cole’s current Big As The What? tour across the U.S.

Drake Gets Ahead Of Illuminati Rumors By Showing His Body Wash

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Jokes aside, folks know Drake these days for his sense of humor online, although it’s not like he ever went offline. Furthermore, the other day, he was fooling around with a Playboi Carti filter on IG while seemingly at a club. But the 37-year-old complained that the filter is “racist” after it worked for him, but not for his friend. It was a pretty funny moment and a notable one thanks to the two’s collaborative history, although they haven’t released anything together in quite some time.

Meanwhile, The Boy is also prone to provoking some controversy and hot debate with his Internet activity. For example, he recently liked a post about Kelsey Nicole’s first interview since the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion shooting. Considering what the OVO boss already said about the debacle, folks thought he wanted the smoke again. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, come back to HNHH.

Drake Dubs Sexyy Red His “Muse” For Cheeky Fight Offer

February 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is always a cheerleader for the new generation, especially when it comes to one particular St. Louis native. Moreover, he recently called Sexyy Red his “muse” in the caption of his latest Instagram post. In it, the 6ix God shares some snaps from his Big As The What? tour with J. Cole, as well as a screenshot of a recent IG post from the “SkeeYee” hitmaker about a fight offer. “I’m fina b in stlouis for 1 week who wana fight me? Come get ponched on like yo mama usto,” she wrote on the social media platform. Considering their strong bond as collaborators and industry peers, this consistent showing of love should come as no surprise.

Furthermore, the two recently linked up for the music video to their sole collaboration at press time, “Rich Baby Daddy” with SZA off of Drake’s 2023 album For All The Dogs. It was a really cheeky and comical visual treatment, and one that seemed to resonate with die-hards across fanbases. Some on either side might find it odd that he has such a fixation with Sexyy Red, but at the end of the day, it’s two hard-working artists giving each other props. Given how huge each of them are right now, we’d bet on more collabs in the near future.

Drake Shouts Out Sexyy Red Once More On IG

A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi)

In fact, Sexyy Red opened certain shows for Drake during his It’s All A Blur trek with 21 Savage. What’s more is that she apparently took drastic measures to hide her pregnancy on this run of concerts before she officially shared it with the world. That made the “Rich Baby Daddy” video with Drake all the more notable and timely, which is a nice coincidence to hit. After all, timing a rollout and promo run in the industry is hard enough; imagine having to balance that with your maternity plans.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that this two-way praise from one party to another will continue. Would you be excited to see the 25-year-old bring the party to Drizzy’s current tour run? Let us know your thoughts on the trek down in the comments section below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Sexyy Red and Drake.

Drake Chills Out On IG Amid Nicki Minaj & Megan Thee Stallion Shots

January 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though Drake got a shot sent his way on the new song “HISS,” courtesy of Megan Thee Stallion, he seems pretty unbothered online. “If it wasn’t for you I would never know how much I can handle…I can’t stand you but also thank you,” he captioned two pictures of him walking around and drinking with a baggy gray suit. Perhaps the 6ix God subtly responded to Meg here, although his subliminals are usually much more apparent. Regardless, his silence on the matter has been very interesting to see, especially considering that her main target right now is his fellow Young Money superstar, Nicki Minaj.

Of course, after Nicki dropped “Big Foot” earlier this week as her response track, this became a one-on-one showdown… for now. As such, there’s really no reason for Drake to come in with reinforcements just yet, and we can’t say for sure whether he’ll ever need to. After all, sometimes rap beef only hits upon a couple of points brought up in these attacks to one another, and it’s rare for an artist to want to address everything. But he had a very busy 2023 with hiatus plans and a desire to just have some fun, so we can’t really express shock if he decides to jump ship.

Drake’s New Instagram Post Amid Nicki & Meg Drama

All this aside, Drake has animosity of his own to handle. Yasiin Bey recently clarified his thoughts on him making pop music, not hip-hop. “Drake, if you’d like to speak to me directly, you can at any point,” he expressed in a social media video. “I reached out to [Dave] Chappelle, actually reached out to you. I DM’d you. You are a very talented MC, but for me, I require more of myself and others than just talent or charm or charisma -– particularly in times of urgent crisis.

“And what I would like to see in terms of creators or creative people in the world, as it relates to our culture, is for people to connect with us beyond the jukebox or the dance floor,” the artist formerly known as Mos Def concluded. “A fair-weather friend can hardly be called a friend at all. The people who party with you -– that’s cool. But will they show up for you when you’re at the triage?” For more news and the latest updates on Drake, check back in with HNHH.

Drake & Johnny Manziel Post Up For A Picture Ten Years After “Draft Day”

January 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“SZN is alive and well always,” Drake captioned his most recent Instagram post, which features a special reunion in his lore. Moreover, he posted up with none other than Johnny Manziel, a former college and pro football player who shares a very close relationship with the Toronto superstar. Readers might remember his 2014 song “Draft Day,” which is dedicated to the then-rookie and shouts him out in the chorus: “Draft day, Johnny Manziel, five years later, how am I the man still?” Now, ten years after that song dropped, it seems like the two are still meeting up to kick it and celebrate their careers.

Furthermore, they also have a history of sticking up for one another, which Aubrey Graham first did with “Draft Day” with his staunch show of support. Another example, this time in the inverse, relates to one of the rapper’s multiple feuds with Kanye West, back when it wasn’t an on-and-off-again rivalry but rather a vague animosity. Johnny Manziel alleged that the Chicago rapper is afraid of Drake, and spoke on living close to their Calabasas homes. We wonder what he might have to say about the two’s bond these days…

However, it’s also been heartening to see both of them go through a lot of hoops and obstacles on their own, but still coming out with their heads high to meet again. Of course, this is much easier for Drake, whose greatest losses probably still made him a whole lot of cash and nabbed him a whole lot of fans and acclaim. As for Johnny Manziel, it’s been a turbulent road through various football leagues and a lot of personal struggle, too. But through his own growth, statements, and media like a documentary on his wild NFL career, he’s been able to make peace with everything, tell his story, and feel fulfilled.

Meanwhile, Drizzy is still as much of a sports fan as ever, as he also linked up with DJ Khaled to play some basketball recently. Another celebrity athlete will probably show up on his feed sooner rather than later, and he’ll likely be betting on Stake for all your favorite sporting events. But it’s nice to see that Johnny Football is still in the picture. For more news and the latest updates on Drake and Johnny Manziel, stay logged into HNHH.

Drake Proclaims He’s “Not Human,” Reposts Viral Concert Clip To Prove It

December 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake has wild reflexes (well, sometimes…) that have him feeling “not human” as of late. Moreover, he recently reposted an old viral clip from his It’s All A Blur tour with 21 S*vage in which he quickly catches a book that a fan threw at him. In fact, it was one of the 6ix God’s own books, Titles Ruin Everything, which was his poetry collection that kicked off the rollout for For All The Dogs. “Never forget I’m not human,” he wrote as the video’s caption on his recent Instagram Story post. Given that Drizzy was also catching bras, posters, and so much more onstage, we’re sure that he had plenty of opportunities to hone his quick reaction times.

Furthermore, a lot of folks are excited to see him continue this run with another special guest to energize the trek. For those unaware, Drake and J. Cole are embarking on an “expansion” of the previous concert series: the Big As The What? tour. Not only that, but following increased fan demand and more visibility, the team added more dates on the journey for die-hards to cop tickets for. We’re sure that the Toronto star will want to display his inhumanness even more during these shows, and he’s going to have even steeper competition to live up to alongside the Dreamville MC.

Of course, most fans would rather he display his alien nature through the quality of his music rather than his athleticism. Fortunately for them, Drake did this quite a bit in 2023– and these example weren’t even all from his solo material. He had a couple of amazing features this year, all of which took on a pretty unique tone, voice, angle, and intent. As one of the most versatile artists working today, we’d expect nothing less from the 37-year-old.

Meanwhile, next year should be a very interesting one for him. Amid Aubrey’s claims that he’s taking a break from music, plus some speculation that he’s beefing with Metro Boomin, eve off-years seem like anticipated moments for him. We’ll see what it holds, and whether we’ll doubt his humanity again. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, come back to HNHH.
