Over the past few months, Drake and Lil Yachty have formed what appears to be a fast friendship. Early in the year, the duo sat down for an insightful interview in which Drake revealed some of his regrets and hinted at retirement. Instead of retiring, though, he dropped a new album, For All The Dogs, which features Yachty on the song “Another Late Night,” then said he’d be taking a break from music.
Still, with the pair’s chemistry, it’s not a short leap to wonder if they might expand on it with a joint album, the way Drake did with Future on What A Time To Be Alive. Lil Yachty addressed the possibility in a vlog for his ongoing Field Trip Tour by Our Generation Music, saying around the 8:30 mark in the video above, “I think he gon’ take a little second to breathe. Imma take next year to figure out my situation and we’ll look into it in the future.” Yachty also demurred when asked about his and Drake’s working relationship, saying, “It’s a story… it’s deep as hell, though.”
Considering that Drake and Yachty’s “Another Late Night” was one of the songs that caught the most attention from For All The Dogs — including from the subject of one of Yachty’s lyrics, Billie Eilish — that could be something to look forward to whenever Drake is done with his hiatus.
Drake often alludes to liquor and spirit brands in his music. On his 2021 single “Girls Want Girls,” he parties in the club with Casamigos. He proudly carries Hennesy in his hand on his 2016 single, “One Dance.” But one particular beverage stands out as the rapper’s favorite.
In a recent interview shared to TikTok, Drake revealed that his favorite drink is Onda, a seltzer with a tequila base.
Drake is often seen in clubs and at parties with the drink in hand. While the drink comes in a can, Drake often pours it over ice, into a spherical glass.
“Everybody always sees me with this drink and they ask me what it is and they ask me for one,” said Drake in the TikTok clip. “It’s an Onda; a tequila spritz-esque cocktail, passion fruit flavor by the way.”
Onda Tequila Seltzer was founded in July of 2020 by Noah Gray, the Chief Executive Officer; Max Dworin, Chief Operating Officer; Kelli Adams, Chief Creative Officer; and Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell, Chief Brand Officer.
In the clip, Drake shouts out the fellow Canadian, and reiterates his love for the drink.
“Shout out to my brother Matt, shout out to Shay — of course, Shay Mitchell — who came up with this product,” said Drake. “And now I drink it every day. I’m probably on my millionth glass.”
Most, if not all hip-hop heads know how closeNicki Minaj and Drake are. It really all began back when both of them were brought on to the Young Money/Cash Money record labels. From countless classic songs together like “Moment 4 Life,” “Only,” and “Truffle Butter,” the list goes on forever and ever. While it does not seem that she was at the recent Drake birthday bash, Nicki sent her love and well wishes from afar. Thejasminebrand’s Instagram page caught some of Nicki’s Instagram story posts and shared them with their followers. Let’s just say they give all of the nostalgic feels.
You can check out all of the posts below. Nicki posted three separate photos of her and Drake a few minutes apart. The first one looks to be from the late 2000s or early 2010s. Nicki is rocking her blonde wig and bright pink lipstick, while Drizzy is wearing a tan blazer with a cheetah print button-down shirt. The caption tags the 37-year-old and references how far they have come with a classic Drake track. “From the bottom,” Nicki writes.”
The following post seems to be from the mid-2010s, maybe right around the time Nicki put out The Pinkprint. She throws in a handful of different color heart emojis and captions it, “Happy Birthday @champagnepapi.” Finally, the last one shows how much love Nicki has for her close friend. “Happy Birthday Drake Love You.” She throws in the cake, present and confetti emojis as well.

One of the most celebrated and hated rappers turned 37 yesterday. That is Canadian hitmaker, Drake. He has plenty to be proud of this year. His It’s All A Blur tour was easily one of the most successful of 2023. It certainly competed with Beyonce’s and Taylor Swift’s and it brought us tons of funny moments. Drake also brought out tons of special guests. From NBA players and his rap pals, he certainly knew how to add to the excitement of each show. Additionally, he also had one of the most talked about guest verses of the year on Travis Scott’s “MELTDOWN” record.
However, Drake’s most crowning achievement was finally dropping his highly-awaited eighth album, For All The Dogs. While it is certainly split music fans, which Drake album does not do that, let’s be real. The rapper got to relish in all of these big moments not too long ago at his 37th birthday bash. He went all out for the party, hiring Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston to bartend for him. Producer BNYX was the one to post a video that the two Breaking Bad stars were hard at work.
Part of the reason they were there was most likely to sample off their Dos Hombres mezcal. However, it was still an awesome and unexpected moment. Drake took the time to shout out the two acting icons in an Instagram post. “Pinkman, Walter White, and Walter Light…RIP to Mike but when it comes to records we breaking bad for sure…I’ll be back with more f****ry and responses to all your love. I’m getting fried tonight though…love you all dearly thank you for awarding me this honor to be a familiar voice in your lives.”

On the eve of the NBA season, Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall draft pick let off a photo dump of the last few months of his life. “Random dump before the serious stuff begins,” Wemby wrote.
The opening picture places Wemby towering over Drake in what is to be believed as their frist meeting. Additional picks include some vacation and nature shots, before ending in his new San Antonio Spurs jersey.
On Monday, Oct. 23rd, Drake rang in his birthday in style at Casadonna, a new coastal, Italian-inspired restaurant and bar in Miami. The establishment is a collaborative effort between David Grutman (Groot Hospitality) and Noah Tepperberg and Jason Strauss (Tao Group Hospitality).
The birthday bash had some surprise star power as Breaking Bad actors Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston took over bartending duties while promoting their Dos Hombres Tequila. Drake, sporting an all-black ensemble, enjoyed the evening with his friends and couldn’t resist some playful banter about having to mix drinks with mango juice instead of his usual go-to, Passionfruit.
The celebration turned heartwarming as Drake’s friends and OVO crew toasted him and thanked him for being why they’ve all become “Rich Baby Daddies.” This reference is to Drake’s newest single, “Rich Baby Daddy,” in collaboration with Sexxy Redd and SZA. It was a night of fun, surprises, and heartfelt appreciation as Drake marked another year.

At the age of 37, Drake has a more impressive resume than most of his contemporaries. Days before his birthday (October 24), the Canadian confidently celebrated tying Michael Jackson’s Billboard record thanks to his For All The Dogs album, which also marked yet another No. 1 debut for him. After a few years of consistently dropping diverse new music, Drizzy recently confirmed that he’ll be taking a break from the studio to turn his focus toward his health and wellness.
Thankfully, fans won’t be suffering too much during the 6ix God’s hiatus, as he has an impressive discography to keep them going. In honour of his birthday, we’re playing throwback hits like “Miss Me” featuring Lil Wayne to commemorate all of the greatness Drake has achieved throughout his career so far. Even early on, the Scorpion artist was confident in himself and his abilities – not to mention in professing his love for the Queen of Rap.
“I love Nicki Minaj, I told her I’d admit it / I hope one day we get married just to say we f**kin’ did it,” Drake spits near the end of his verse. “And girl, I’m f**kin’ serious, I’m wit’ it if you wit’ it / ‘Cause yo’ verses turn me on and yo’ pants are mighty fitted.”
Go back in time and watch Drake and Lil Wayne’s “Miss Me” visual above. If the throwback track isn’t already on your playlist, you can find it on Spotify/Apple Music. Scorpio season is already off to a seriously hot start, as we spotlighted an old hit from Miguel to kick things off yesterday. Tap into that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
That’s why me and Lil Jaz ’bout to spaz, can you keep up? I’m just feelin’ sorry for whoever gotta sweep up Yeah, bills everywhere, trill everything And Drake just stand for Do Right And Kill Everything
For one night, Breaking Bad turned into Drake-ing Bad (sorry).
Rapper Drake, who released his eighth studio album For All the Dogs earlier this month, turned 37 years old on Tuesday. To celebrate, he held a birthday party at Casadonna in Miami, Florida, with two celebrity bartenders: Breaking Bad actors Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. According to TMZ, “the two stars showed up floral shirts and all to Drake’s Miami bash… which likely served as an easy promotion for Bryan and Aaron’s Dos Hombres mezcal brand.”
In a video shared on Instagram by Drake’s producer BNYX, Paul can be overheard telling someone that a “Negroni is the easiest drink to make.” What about a Vodka Red Bull? Actually, never mind. I’m not going to argue with Jesse Pinkman. He’s been through enough.
“It’s important for Bryan and I, as founders of this company, that [our business partners] know that we are doing the work. We don’t want to just slap our names on something and let other people do the work,” Paul told MSNBC about Dos Hombres. “This is our baby, and we’re incredibly proud of our baby.” He added, “It’s brutal, but we have a good time doing it.”
Please enjoy Bryan Cranston getting loose on the dance floor. You deserve it.

With his latest album, For All The Dogs, Drake has accomplished a feat only one other man has. Drake matched Michael Jackson’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits record, thanks to his collaboration with J. Cole, “First Person Shooter.” While a lot of that has to do with streaming, that’s still a pretty impressive accomplishment considering just how much there is to stream these days. Here’s a look back at all of Drake’s Hot 100 No. 1s, which have helped him fascinate the world for well over a decade.
“What’s My Name?” — Rihanna Feat. Drake, 2010
Drake’s first two No. 1 hits came courtesy of his collaborations with Rihanna. The first was a result of Rihanna’s Loud single “What’s Might Name?” which lasted for one week at the position.
“Work” — Rihanna Feat. Drake, 2016
Rihanna’s dancehall-inflected Anti single recaptured the magic of their prior collaborations and improved on the formula, spending nine weeks at No. 1.
“One Dance” Feat. Wizkid & Kyla, 2016
“One Dance,” from Drake’s 2016 album Views, spent 10 weeks at No. 1 and was Drake’s first chart-topper as lead artist.
“God’s Plan,” 2018
Until “God’s Plan,” Drake’s Scorpion standout, the one knock against him was that he did not have any No. 1s as a solo artist. This record not only shattered that last obstacle but also started him on his history-making run in earnest — he’s had a No. 1 in every year since.
“Nice For What,” 2018
Another Scorpion single, “Nice For What,” spent 11 weeks at No. 1, making it his best-performing single ever. It not only replaced “God’s Plan” but it was also later supplanted by another Drake single — in fact, the next one on this list.
“In My Feelings,” 2018
“In My Feelings” replaced “Nice For What” in July, giving Drake three No. 1 hits in 2018. It only fell short of its predecessor’s record by one week, fueled by a viral dance craze that presaged all the TikTokery to follow.
Another non-album single, “What’s Next” appears on Drake’s Scary Hours EP and appeared at the top spot on the Hot 100 for one week.
“Way 2 Sexy” Feat. Future & Young Thug, 2021
In 2021, Drake returned with Certified Lover Boy, an album that wasn’t beloved but still managed to garner a one-week No. 1 — likely as a result of this goofy video.
“Wait For U” — Future Feat. Drake & Tems, 2022
In 2022, Drake again landed at No. 1 by virtue of a feature appearance — this time, with his new toxic twin Future. This song also has the distinction of making singer Tems the first African artist to debut at No. 1.
“Jimmy Cooks” Feat. 21 Savage, 2022
The song that kicked off Drake and 21’s productive partnership, “Jimmy Cooks” was the only traditional rap song on Honestly, Nevermind, which likely lent to its popularity among fans who were thrown by Drake’s seemingly sudden swing into dance music.
“Slime You Out” Feat. SZA, 2023
Drake’s first-ever collaboration with SZA might not have been popular among peers and critics, but it was with their fans, debuting at No. 1 on release and later appearing on Drake’s eighth studio album For All The Dogs.
“First Person Shooter” Feat. J. Cole, 2023
Drake and J. Cole’s fifth collaboration resulted in Drake’s 13th No. 1, tying Michael Jackson’s record, and J. Cole’s first, throttling one of the negative narratives about his career to date.
