Since the opening night of his It’s All A Blur Tour, Drake has apparently stoked beef with Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, and people who have been throwing their phones on stage, and now, it looks like he’s going after city curfews. During the tour’s Detroit stop, Drake told the crowd he’d gone over curfew but that didn’t stop him from finishing out the show.
“It’s $10,000 a minute to stay in this building past curfew,” he said. “I don’t give a f**k. We’re doing this whole song, let’s go.” He continued performing for another 23 minutes, which has some outlets positing a $230,000 fine for the rapper. Interestingly, however, the Detroit Free Press noted the venue, Little Caesars Arena, does not have a curfew — although the city of Detroit itself recently established a curfew for minors due to recent shootings downtown. That could be what Drake’s referring to, or he could just have bad information — or, as speculated by the Free Press and HipHopDX, he might have just been bullsh*tting for the benefit of his loyal fans.

Drake’s tour will continue tonight at the TD Garden in Boston, where he’ll do two nights before returning to Canada for two-night homestand in Montreal, Quebec. We’ll see if he incurs anymore “curfew fines” as he keeps going.
Drake will stop at nothing to ensure his fans get the ultimate show. That includes spending $230,000 extra to provide a full experience.
The Boy was in Detroit and performed 23 minutes past curfew. That extra run costs $10,000 a minute, resulting in a bill of $230,000.
“It’s $10,000 a minute to stay in this building past curfew,” Drake said in a video online. “I don’t give a fuck. We’re doing this whole song, let’s go.”

Drake is secure in his masculinity- and isn’t afraid to show it, clapping back at critics who felt some type of way about his recently painted nails.
In a recent Instagram post, Drake addressed Lil Yachty, who he claims told him to paint his fingernails as it would help him stop biting them. On July 3, Drake showed off pink nails on his IG story. Naturally, his audience was divided on the “Rich Flex” artist’s manicure.
On Monday, Drake (who has just kicked off his It’s All a Blur tour with 21 Savage), seemed to jokingly address Lil Yachty, writing
“GET OUT MY COMMENTS YOU TOLD ME TO PAINT MY NAILS SO I STOP BITING THEM AND NOW THE WORLD IS BEING HOMOPHOBIC FOR THE 1st TIME SINCE ‘RICH FLEX…which wasn’t that long ago now that I think about it….wait is the world homophobic? Smh.”
Yachty wrote back ““woo-sah brother, your [sic] not supposed to have these episodes in public, it’s fine. They just don’t get u bro #UDIFFERENTAF!!”
Drake is hardly the first male celebrity to paint his nails. Machine Gun Kelly has his own nail polish line, Bad Bunny has rocked brightly colored digits, and A$AP Rocky said in an interview with Vogue that he feels “like men should be able to do nail art without feeling feminine,” noting in the same interview that his nails were painted with Prada fall 2019 motifs, including the broken heart and Frankenstein. In fact, Vogue even highlighted famous male celebrities who have rocked colored nails.

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.

During his “It’s All A Blur” Tour, Drake took a direct swipe at fellow artist Childish Gambino, serving as a clap back to Gambino’s previous admission that his Grammy Award-winning song, “This Is America,” was originally a diss track aimed at the Toronto rapper. The shade occurred during Drake’s performance of his hit song “Headlines,” […]

At this time it’s unclear exactly when Drake’s highly anticipated LP will hit DSPs, however we have seen a few leaks surface online already. As promised when he initially shared the news along with his new poetry book, the 36-year-old seems to return to his rap and R&B roots after exploring other genres on Honestly, Nevermind.
Aside from the updates on his recently announced For All The Dogs album, the conversation surrounding Drake has also been about his pretty pink manicure. In an IG back-and-forth with Lil Yachty, the Canadian admitted that he feels as though the world is treating his nails in a homophobic manner. Read everything Drizzy had to say at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

As a Scorpio, Drake has become accustomed to triggering extreme reactions in those he crosses paths with. He’s been one of the biggest names in hip-hop for over a decade so the father of one obviously has a lot of fans, but with that sort of fame comes inevitable haters too. The latest decision the world has been criticizing Drizzy for is his manicure, which has transitioned from a yucky yellow to a pretty pink as he’s learned more about the world of nail art.
The Canadian has always been something of a trendsetter, so seeing him experiment with typically feminine things isn’t surprising. As it turns out, however, he actually began painting his nails to curb the habit of biting them. Drake revealed this during an Instagram back-and-forth with Lil Yachty, with the Georgia native trolling his friend on his It’s All a Blur Tour. “Boy got them heavy hangers in his ear,” Lil Boat wrote.

“GET OUT MY COMMENTS,” Champagne Papi quickly responded. “YOU TOLD ME TO PAINT MY NAILS SO I WOULD STOP BITING THEM AND NOW THE WORLD IS BEING HOMOPHOBIC FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE ‘RICH FLEX,’” he went on, referencing a song from Her Loss that previously went viral for Drake’s “zesty” lyrics. “Which wasn’t that long ago now that I think about it,” the Scorpion rapper added. “Wait is the world homophobic? Smh.”
Amid his close friend’s crisis, the “Act Up” writer stepped in to calm him down. “@champagnepapi, woo-sah brother. [You’re] not supposed to have these episodes in public,” Boat joked. “It’s fine, they just don’t get [you] bro #UDIFFERENTAF.” While Lil Yachty has always been a supporter of Drake’s style choices, Andrew Tate simply can’t relate. The embattled podcaster declined to meet up with Champagne Papi due to his perfectly manicured nails, leading the Let’s Start Here artist to mercilessly troll him. Read what Yachty had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
