Drake offered to pay for a fan’s divorce proceedings during the final stop on his It’s All A Blur – Big As the What?Tour. Performing at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Thursday, the Toronto rapper drew his attention to one fan in the audience.
“I’m going to get you a good lawyer, and we gon’ pay for your divorce tonight,” he said. “You gon’ be single and ready to mingle.” He added that she’s “fine as hell” and needs “to be single out here.” “Aye, and while you at it, you need to find you somebody to take you out on a date, too,” he finished. “I’ll pay for the date, too.” Throughout the long-running tour, Drake has been offering to help fans with financial situations on numerous occasions. He’s offered to cover surgery costs, help out cancer survivors, and more.

Drake’s tour comes to a close as fans anticipate a response to Kendrick Lamar’s recent diss aimed at the rapper. The former TDE rapper called him out while appearing on Future and Metro Boomin’s new album, We Don’t Trust You, for the song, “Like That.” Lamar took issue with being lumped in with Drake and J. Cole as hip-hop’s “Big 3.” Drake has yet to respond, but J. Cole shared a surprise mixtape on Friday featuring a diss track as the closing song. While respecting Lamar’s talents, Cole still labeled some of his projects overrated. Cole has been performing on the It’s All a Blur Tour tour as well.
Drake is easily one of the greatest artists of his generation. Overall, he has broken numerous sales records and streaming records. Furthermore, he has topped the charts with every album. He has more hits than some of the most legendary artists in the world, and he continues to rack up accolades. At this point, Drake and his legacy are fully cemented. Not to mention, he has recently been on tour with J. Cole. This tour was even joined by Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne, whom fans have been excited to watch live.
As you can imagine, getting tickets to a Drake show is now easy task. In certain cities, these tickets sell out immediately. Moreover, on the resale market, the tickets are extremely expensive. It has even gotten to the point where floor tickets are going for over $1000 USD. Fans have been going to extreme lengths to get their hands on some tickets, including the fans below. As you can see, a couple of women went to Drake’s latest show and held up a sign saying they engaged in sex work to afford their seats. Of course, we are saying that in much less vulgar terms.
We can’t corroborate the stories of these women, however, we hope they were joking. After all, that seems like a dangerous thing to do just to see Drake. Having said that, fans have been bringing all sorts of wild signs to his tour. On numerous occasions, the artist has even acknowledged the signs. There have even been some monetary giveaways, and it has been a pretty good time. Hopefully, Drizzy ends up taking a break after this tour is over. He’s earned it.

The whole hip-hop world is awaiting a response from Drake after the fury of disses that Kendrick Lamar sent his way. It has been such a smashing success not only for the genre to bring that competitive nature back, but also for the charts. Metro Boomin and Future’s WE DON’T TRUST YOU will be at the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 200. Additionally, “Like That,” the song with incredible K-Dot verse, is also poised to reach the top of the Hot 100. Drake has been sending some low-key responses toward the Cali MC as of late, but Travis Scott is also receiving some shots as well.
That is at least what some people are speculating online anyway, after a recent It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? Tour performance. Drake was playing his most recent collaboration with Travis Scott, “MELTDOWN,” from UTOPIA. According to some footage from the show gathered from TMZ Hip Hop, he sent some “gunfire” at a head prop of Travis. Apparently, he does it at every show when Drizzy’s lyric, “Like TV producers we, grr, we airing this s***,” comes up.
There are some theories floating around that Drake now has beef with one of his biggest collaborators because of this. One of the main arguments for this is because Travis was begging Metro and Future to play “Like That” at Rolling Loud before the album dropped. Scott is not the only rapper “taking a side” in this feud between Dot and Drake. Rick Ross was also seen playing the track while riding in the back of his car. Also, LeBron James was vibing to the track before the Lakers last game at home. Drake wound up seeing that video and liked the post.
What are your thoughts on Drake “shooting” a Travis Scott prop at his recent tour performance and fans creating beef rumors? What kind of message do you think Drizzy is sending by doing this? How much longer will it take for him to respond to Kendrick Lamar? If and when he does, will it be a stronger verse? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake, Travis Scott, and Kendrick Lamar.

Drake called attention to a doppelganger in the crowd at a recent stop on his It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? on Instagram after the show. To do so, he reposted another fan’s clip of the attendee with the caption: “I’m everywhere…” In the video, the fan simply watches the Toronto rapper as he performs near the stage.
The incident comes as Drake has been feuding with Kendrick Lamar following the rapper’s feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s chart-topping song, “Like That.” With his verse, Lamar dissed both Drake and J. Cole. Drake has yet to release a diss track back at the iconic rapper.

Drake did appear to respond to drama in a rant during a recent concert. “A lot of people asking me how I’m feeling… listen, the way I’m feeling is the same way I want you to walk out of here feeling tonight about your f***ing self,” Drake told the crowd at one of his shows. “Because you know how I’m feeling? I got my head up high, my back straight, I’m 10 f***ing toes down… and feeling like anywhere else I go… and I know no matter what, there’s not a n**** on this Earth that can ever f*** with me in my life. And that’s how I want y’all to walk out of here tonight… But, you know, you can get yourselves gassed up, riled up and move towards the future… Sometimes you’ve got to acknowledge the mistakes you’ve made in the past… right? So that’s what I want you all to do. Everybody in here.”
Elsewhere on social media, Drake also caught attention for trolling rappers who promote marijuana online. Check out that clip above and be on the lookout for further updates on Drake on HotNewHipHop.
J Cole recently teased his upcoming album The Fall Off with a vlog titled Might Delete Later Vol. 2. The video follows a similar format to Vol. 1, and offers fans a glimpse into Cole’s day-to-day studio sessions, collaborative partners, and even provides a brief snippet of unreleased music. These breadcrumbs have kept fans hyped for his upcoming long-awaited seventh studio album. Let’s take a moment to dive into the content presented in the latest volume of J Cole’s vlog series, and highlight some of the most interesting and important moments shown in the brief outing.
J Cole’s Might Delete Later Vol. 2 features a series of retro-style video editing choices, with grainy footage reminiscent of early MTV documentaries, and old-school video game graphic menus serving as interstitials to the clips shown. The whole piece is very similar in feel to JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown’s visual release of the Scaring The Hoes: DLC pack last July. For now, it remains unclear whether these editing choices are thematically relevant to J Cole’s upcoming body of work or if they simply serve as artistic flourishes to give the “Might Delete Later” series a bold and unique identity.
Elsewhere in the vlog, J Cole shoots hoops in his prototype pair of Dreamer Indie 5000’s. The sneakers appear to be a new fully independent venture from Cole, without collaboration or oversight from any major clothing retailers. While little information is available about the sneakers currently, they offer an old-school aesthetic that complements the retro video style of “Might Delete Later Vol. 2.” Fans speculate that the shoes will release around the same time as The Fall Off, as Cole has been wearing the Indie 5000’s on stage during recent performances and courtside at various NBA games.
In the video, J Cole reveals that he has spent so much time fine-tuning and perfecting The Fall Off that he has produced nearly 6 albums’ worth of material, some of which will likely never see the light of day. Luckily, the 39-year-old rapper has plenty of talented peers to parse through the drafts with him, as “Might Delete Later Vol. 2” showcases a wide array of popular rappers and producers popping into the studio. While it’s never made clear if any of the other big names in the video are laying guest verses on J Cole’s upcoming music, or just stopping by to hang out, Might Delete Later Vol. 2 sees appearances from the likes of Drake, Lil Yachty, Central Cee, Bas, and Benny The Butcher, as well as a first-time meeting between Cole and Sexyy Red.
J Cole can also be seen nodding his head to a vibrant Conductor Williams beat, which fans would surely be hyped to hear the Dreamville head rapping over. Rumors suggest that The Fall Off may feature production from Metro Boomin. However, this collaboration could be in jeopardy since Metro has teamed up with Kendrick Lamar on the diss track “Like That,” aimed at Drake and J Cole.
Several New Previews Can Be Heard Throughout The Vlog
Like the first edition of Might Delete Later, J Cole previewed some new music in the latest outing that has fans buzzing online. The second volume in the series offers a much wider array of sounds than the first, with Cole dropping several beats and freestyles which may or may not find their way to seeing a full proper release. Most notably, Cole teased a roughly 90-second long track which sees him taking his bicycle for a spin through the neighborhood while waxing poetic about his blessings and his elite pen game.
J Cole concludes Might Delete Later Vol. 2 with yet another brief snippet, and an “as seen on TV” style screen saver offering a phone number that fans can call or text. Reaching out to the number provides listeners with another snippet, and offers the opportunity to receive text updates on Cole’s upcoming work. For now, The Fall Off still has no official release date, though the latest teasers from Might Delete Later Vol. 2 indicate the project is just around the corner.
Lil Wayne is dealing with backlash on social media for relying on a teleprompter to remember his lyrics during his performance with Drake on the It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? tour. In a viral clip from the show, one fan on Twitter asked if anyone had ever seen something similar. Many of his fans brought up the massive catalog Wayne has put out over the years as an excuse.
“Lil Wayne has admitted that he’s dropped so many verses that he can’t remember everything he’s spit before,” one fan wrote back. Another added: “Lil Wayne also said in an interview he doesn’t write his own lyrics down. He goes in the studio and freestyles everything.” The original poster clarified that they meant no disrespect. “Also I love Lil Wayne, I’m one of the lucky ones who got to grow up and see him in his prime. What a time it was to be alive for real,” they wrote.

Drake welcomed Wayne to the stage at his show in Florida over the weekend. He also made headlines for getting annoyed with fans for not being excited enough about the guest appearance. “Nah, because look, these my favorite moments in life right now,” he said as he made his way to the stage. “Hey Florida, from the top of the mountain, emerges the motherf*cking greatest of all time. If y’all don’t make some f*cking noise, for my brother Lil Wayne in here tonight.”
Lil Wayne Reads Lyrics Off Of A Teleprompter
I have a question about this video of Drake and Lil Wayne… Is it normal that rappers have teleprompters with their lyrics on it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before. So it’s karaoke then? pic.twitter.com/U7Ku9qz0M5
Drake called out his fans in attendance at his concert at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, FL, over the weekend, for not being excited enough about Lil Wayne’s appearance during the show. As Wayne took over the stage to lackluster noise from the audience, Drake ran out on stage to complain and label him the greatest of all time.
“Nah, because look, these my favorite moments in life right now,” he said as he made his way to the stage. “Hey Florida, from the top of the mountain, emerges the motherf*cking greatest of all time. If y’all don’t make some f*cking noise, for my brother Lil Wayne in here tonight.”

The awkward incident comes after Kendrick Lamar dissed Drake and J. Cole on the viral track, “Like That,” from Metro Boomin and Future’s new album, We Don’t Trust You. “F*ck sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” he raps in his verse. “Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/ Motherf*ck the big three, n***a, it’s just big me/ N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that/ And your best work is a light pack.” Cole is also performing with Drake on the It’s All a Blur – Big As The What? tour.
Drake appeared to address the beef at a different point during the concert. “I got my head held high, my back straight, I’m ten f**king toes down… and I know no matter what there’s not another n***a that could ever f*ck with me on this Earth,” he said. Be on the lookout for further updates on Drake on HotNewHipHop.
Drake has made it a habit to help out his fans in need during his ongoing It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? tour. On the latest stop, the Toronto rapper offered to gift a pregnant fan $25,000 and even had security escort them out of the pit and into the V.I.P. section. She had been holding up a sign referencing his song, “Rich Baby Daddy.”
“She’s got a sign that says, ‘I’m five months pregnant, can you be my rich baby daddy.’ Well, first of all, I don’t want to offend your real baby daddy, but I would love to, first of all, get you out of the pit so we could put you somewhere safe like the V.I.P. or some sh*t. Because you can’t be pregnant and bouncing around,” Drake said. “When I start playing something, we can’t have you getting pushed around. Second of all, I’d love to give you $25,000.”

During a previous stop on the tour, Drake teased that he’s getting back in the studio and working on new music. “You know, I said I was taking a break and all that sh*t, but I’m right back on the road again,” he told the crowd at one show. “It’s hard for me to stay away from y’all — I really do love you. You never know. I might get bored and start making some new music on the road, see where it goes in the next little while.” He had previously told fans he’d be taking a lengthy break after the release of For All The Dogs. He’s since teamed up with 4batz for a remix to “act ii: date @ 8.”
Drake has been performing with J. Cole and Lil Durk on the It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? tour. Be on the lookout for further updates on Drake on HotNewHipHop.
Drake and J. Cole have been friends for over 10 years now. Part of the reason for the continuing friendship is due to the fact that they are on a tour together. Of course, that would be the It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? Currently, they are a little over halfway through their set of dates and they will be performing next on March in Belmont Park, New York. There have been some interesting headlines around it, including adding Lil Durk and Lil Wayne into the mix for a handful of shows. However, one we had to shed light on was a fan’s hilarious Step Brothers t-shirt with Drake and J. Cole on it.
The Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly comedy classic is iconic for their performances, but also because of the movie’s cover art. So, because of how close Drake and J. Cole are, he recreated the Step Brothers artwork. You can see the image of the ingenious creation below. According to Uproxx, Drizzy got a chance to see it during their show and his reaction is priceless.
He even called over a stage worker to see it while J. Cole was performing “No Role Modelz.” What is also funny about this is that Drake is actually a huge fan of Will Ferrell’s work. He was a huge Anchorman fan and he wound up reaching to see if he could land a role in its sequel. He would get a cameo in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, so this had to be a bit of a full-circle moment for him, on top of it being downright hilarious.
What are your thoughts on this fan’s Step Brothers-inspired t-shirt of Drake and J. Cole? Do you think this should become a merch item for the It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?” Have you been able to attend any of the concerts? Do they have the biggest bromance in all of hip-hop right now? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Drake brought a dog-like mascot on stage during the latest stop on the It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? tour in New Orleans and fans are freaking out to learn there was a person inside the costume. When an attendee shared a clip of the mascot on TikTok, users couldn’t believe anyone would be willing to take the job.
“New level glazing has been reached,” one user joked. Another wrote: “You could not pay me to do this for someone idc who it is.” Others said they’d be more willing. “Easy money if I just gotta sit there,” one fan commented. The dog is a clear reference to Drake’s most recent album, For All The Dogs.

In other Drake news, the Toronto rapper recently teamed up with 4batz on a remix to the up-and-comer’s hit single, “act ii: date @ 8.” After the song dropped, 4batz inked a major deal with Drake’s OVO imprint. “The positive energy and overall support from Team Drake/OVO was a driving factor in getting this song released,” his lawyer, Matt Buser, told Billboard in a statement. “We are grateful for their involvement and are excited to see what the future holds as a result of this epic creative and business move.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Drake on HotNewHipHop.
