Drake Reacts To Fake Drake Doppelgänger Getting Kicked Out Of Houston Club

Drake

We’re living in an age where people get famous just because they look like a celebrity.

Ever since Certified Lover Boy, Fake Drake has been enjoying his newfound fame. He has been making club appearances and doing interviews just off the fact that he looks a lot like the 6 god himself.

He has even caught Drake’s attention, but only after he got kicked out of a nightclub in Houston.

Houston club promoter Chris Chizer called out Fake Drake in the club, saying that he couldn’t be there.  “Fake Drake can’t be in Area 29,” he said. “Fake Drake can’t be in here, he’s got to go!”

The clip ended up on DJ Akademiks’ page after it had gone viral.

This caught the attention of Drake who apparently liked Akademiks’ post.

After the video went viral, Fake Drake, also known as Izzy Drake, clarified the situation, saying that it was staged and an attempt to promote Drake’s newest album Honestly, Nevermind.

“I don’t need security. I walked in there, they saw the OVO chain. They said, ‘Oh yo, come in,’” he explained. “I went to the front where the stage is and we staged that shit for Drake’s promo.”

Even after the release of Honestly, Nevermind, Izzy Drake facetimed Drake to congratulate him on dropping his latest album.

Drake is in a position to add another No. 1 album to his resume. The 6ix God surprised fans with the new dance album, Honestly, Nevermind, on Friday.

Even though the album is receiving mixed reviews, Drizzy is set to pull in a solid first-week number according to HitsDailyDouble. The 7th solo album from Drake is estimated for the first week between 210,000 and 230,000 equivalent album units.

In comparison to Certified Lover Boy, Honestly, Nevermind is a drop-off in first-week production as CLB made a No. 1 debut with 613,000 units.

Drake‘s Honestly, Nevermind became Apple Music’s most-streamed dance album, smashing the previous record for first-day streams worldwide.

Honestly, Nevermind adds to Drake’s Apple Music run. Certified Lover Boy, Drake’s previous album, presently holds the record for the most first-day streams in Apple Music history. On Apple Music, Scorpion is the second most popular album in terms of first-day streams worldwide. With “Girls Want Girls,” Drake also holds the record for the most first-day streams worldwide on Apple Music.

Drake also released a statement letting fans in on his current life:

I let my humbleness turn to numbness at times letting time go by knowing I got the endurance to catch it another time

I work with every breath in my body cause it’s the work not air that makes me feel alive

That’s some real detrimental shit but that’s that shit my perfectionist mind doesn’t really mind because no one knows whats on my mind when I go to sleep at 9 & wake up at 5 – unless I say it in rhyme

I can’t remember the last time someone put they phone down, looked me in the eyes and asked my current insight on the times

But I remember every single time someone shined a light in my eyes

I purposely try to forget what went on between some ppl and I because I know I’m not a forgiving guy even when I try

My urge for revenge wins the game against my good guy inside every single fckn time

I got plans I can’t talk about with more than like 4 guys because the last time I shared em with someone on the outside…well that’s another story for another night

I was tryna get thru that statement to get to saying I’m not @ a time in my life where pats on the shoulder help get me by

I’ll take loyalty over an oh my & emoji fire

I know if it was a dark night where all the odds were against my side & my skill went to whoever took my life they’d done me off with a big smile & maybe evn post it for some likes

I know everyone that tells me they love me doesn’t love me all the time especially when im doing better than alright & they have to watch it from whatever point they at in their life

I got here being realistic

I didn’t get here being blind

I know whats what and especially what and who is by my side

Honestly…Nevermind.

DEDICATED TO OUR BROTHER V

J. Cole on Drake’s ‘Honestly, Nevermind’: “This Album is Phenomenal”

J. Cole's Catalog is Release on Spatial Audio on Apple Music

Drake’s new Dance album Honestly, Nevermind was in rotation across the world this weekend and has been quite polarizing. Some people love it, while the other side of the spectrum appears to be confused as to why Drake made it. Then there are some, like Drake himself, who argue those who don’t like it just don’t get it. You can find J. Cole on the support side.

Cole hit Instagram and shared a screenshot of the song “Liability” and revealed “Man. This album is phenomenal. Point blank.”

Last month, Drake and J. Cole put fans on alert as they were spotted filming a music video together. Videos leaked online showing Drizzy creating a new music video, on the set was Cole, but some fans questioned if he is just a guest.

Last year, J. Cole jacked Drake’s “Pipe Down” for a single called “Heaven’s EP,” which you can hear below.

Drake Debuts New Radio Show, Drops Two More Tracks, Teases Poetry Book

Drake is having an incredibly busy long weekend, seemingly dropping new projects left and right. In addition to dropping the much-discussed dance-inspired album Honestly, Nevermind, Drizzy also premiered his new SiriusXM radio show, Table for One. 

On the show, he discussed his exploration into new sounds for the album as well as teased two more new tracks: “Confusion” and “I Could Never.”

“Confusion” features Drake’s signature crooning over some solid mid-tempo EDM-type beats while “I could never” is a slowed-down lyrical ballad interspersed with piano riffs and dynamic beats. 

He also teased another Scary Hours pack to come in the near future as well as a poetry book. Needless to say, fans are to see what Drake does next since nothing seems outside of the realm of possibility for the multifaceted artist anymore.

On a blog on SiriusXM’s website, Drake explained the rationale behind the name of his new show, stating: “I called it Table For One ’cause more times when I really need to lock in, focus, I always get a table in whatever restaurant to myself. Have some drinks, go through music, figure out what the next moves are for me and where everything is at, so that’s kind of what the show’s about. This show’s just about zoning out. I’m excited to bring this to you permanently. Table For One, we do it all without doing the most.”
