Drake Becomes First Rapper to Earn $5 Million in a Single Arena Concert

The Boy has a new bae. Rumors across the Internet have paired Drake with Latto’s sister, Brooklyn Nikole, and a supporting video is fanning the flames.

Drake was spotted leaving a restaurant with Brooklyn via a placed iPhone camera. This follows some bars on the recently released “Act II: Date @ 8” that could hint at the new courtship by mentioning Brooklyn’s home of Clayton County, GA:

“How you get all of that body and face, though?
What kind water they servin’ in ClayCo?”

You can see the pair leave the restaurant below.

The Boy has done it again. Drake has aligned with rising star 4Batz to drop a remix of “Act II: Date @ 8.”

In case you need some info on 4Batz. The Dallas native dropped the original single toward the end of 2023, immediately rocketing up charts, taking over social media, and more.

The successful run caught Drake’s attention, and he teased a remix on his Instagram story, taking 4Batz and OVO 40.

The drop is officially here. If you ask this writer, it brings back the energy Drake delivered to Summer Walker’s “Girls Need Love,” both in song completion and fan response.

You can hear it below.

On this day in Hip-Hop history, Geto Boys frontman and Texas legend Scarface released his fourth solo LP, The Untouchable. Released on Rap-A-Lot Records, this album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. It also peaked at #1 on the Top Hip-Hop/R&B and kept its spot for two weeks.

Although Scarface never really strayed away from his staple hardcore “Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster” subject matter and style of delivery, it’s apparent this album is influenced by the G-Funk sound made popular by Dr.Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tha Dogg Pound.

The album’s most popular track “Smile” featuring 2Pac was released shortly after his murder and peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
