Drake’s ‘It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?’ Creepy Dog-Like Mascot Has Users Online Hysterically Howling

Drake’s latest album, For All The Dogs, serves as a witty double entendre. Not only is the body of work dedicated to the “Rich Baby Daddy” rapper’s male companions, but it is also a manifesto to those who had ever been called ‘a dog’ in past romantic relationships. But it looks like there’s a third component to the project.

Yesterday (March 9), a fan revealed that the musician might’ve introduced a dog-like mascot. During Drake’s recent It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? stop, he was joined on stage with a furry figure. Many attendees assumed that the faux wolf was, in fact, a robot. But a concertgoer took to TikTok to reveal that their friend was tasked with dressing up in the costume each night.

This fan got to dress up as Drake’s dog during his concert‼🤣 Would y’all do something like this for your favorite rapper⁉ 🎥: msaves / TikTok

♬ MELTDOWN (feat. Drake) – Travis Scott

The news shocked uusers online, and they quickly chimed in on the reveal under the video.

“You could not pay me to do this for someone. I don’t care who it is,” penned one user.

Drake isn’t the first rapper to introduce a mascot for an album. Early in Kanye West’s career, each album featured his now-infamous Dropout Bear (more commonly referred to by fans as the Graduation-era bear).

Drake is currently traversing the country — with J. Cole in tow — on the latest leg of his It’s All A Blur Tour. Saturday’s show (February 24) brought the “You Broke My Heart” rapper to Cleveland, where he was joined onstage by surprise guests and hometown heroes Doe Boy and MGK. Drake and MGK last shared a stage in 2011, when Drake brought him out at the Cleveland show of his Club Paradise Tour. It looks like the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Sexyy Red Has Given Birth, And Has Already Shared The First Thing On Her Post-Pregnancy Agenda

Sexyy Red is officially a mother (for the second time). The “Pound Town” rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm that she has given birth.

For months, Sexyy Red has provided fans with updates regarding her pregnancy. From her maternity photoshoot to her lavish Chinatown-themed baby shower, supporter haven’t been left out of any step. But the updates didn’t stop there. On Monday, February 5, Sexyy Red posted a series of photos celebrating the birth of her child.

Thrilled by the safe arrival of her new bundle of joy and excitement to have her anatomy, Sexyy Red shared the first thing on her post-pregnancy agenda. “Me waitin’ to get discharged from the hospital,” she wrote. “…so I can hit da block wit da guys 🎲🚘.”

https://twitter.com/SexyyRed314_/status/1754624210926727279

During an interview with Billboard, Sexyy opened up about her struggles while pregnant. “Being pregnant is stressful,” she said. “It wears your body down. I was tired, but I tried to hide it as much as you possibly could. I like to have a personal life.”

So, Sexyy Red’s desire to let loose makes perfect sense. But for now, mommy duty calls. By the summer, she could be back outside for real, as the kids say.

What Time Does Drake Go On Stage For ‘It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?’

Drake and J. Cole are co-headlining It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?, and it’s bookended by Drake. According to the official setlist shared by acclaimed hip-hop journalist Elliott Wilson (and Billboard), Drake starts the show with a solo set featuring 33 songs (!) before J. Cole’s 11-song solo set. The finale is a Drake and J. Cole joint set, including their No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit “First Person Shooter” and For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition track “You Broke My Heart.”

What Time Does Drake Go On Stage For It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?

According to setlist.fm, which is based only on people submitting information after presumably attending a show, Drake hit the stage at 9:35 p.m. local time on Friday, February 2, and Sunday, February 4, at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Those are the only two shows performed so far, so our data is limited, but it can be expected that Drake’s opening set will fluctuate slightly as the tour goes on. According to a Reddit user (again, take with a grain of salt), the show wraps around midnight local time.

The It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? next hits Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee this Wednesday (February 7) and Thursday (February 8). The run is scheduled to wrap on April 16 at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. See all of the dates here.

  • A black hoodie reading (in white, yellow, and red lettering), “DRAKE AND J. COLE ON TOUR 2024 BIG AS THE WHAT? IT’S ALL A BLUR”
  • $85 reversible basketball jerseys: a No. 11 black one for Drake, with the OVO owl on the front and “THE BOY” on the back; a No. 15 one for J. Cole, with the Dreamville logo on the front and “COLE” on the back.

A Drake Holiday Gift Guide For The 6 God Fans In Your Life

by

The holidays are upon us, and there’s no greater gift than the gift of music. This holiday season, you can give the Drake fan in your life all sorts of goodies and treats.

Uproxx has put together a nifty little guide for Drizzy fans, for those who simply can’t have too much of the prolific rapper. At the time of writing, no Black Friday deals have been announced, but fans can purchase some fun items just in time for jolly season (and some of the options below might just get price cuts as Black Friday approaches).

Dave’s-giving Party Pack from Dave’s Hot Chicken

Drake fans who wish to get the festivities started early with the Dave’s Hot Turkey Party Pack from Dave’s Hot Chicken — a chain in which Drake is an investor. The Dave’s-giving party pack comes with Winter Sports-Themed Bibs, a Floral Centerpiece Cutout featuring Dave’s heads as tulips, photobooth props, and much more. Guests of Southern California- and Detroit-area Dave’s stores can add this pack to orders of sliders, tenders, or fries for $10 more, or purchase for an additional $12. Granted, this merch isn’t directly related to Drake, but makes for a fun addition to Drake memorabilia.

Items are available in select stores only.

Tickets to Drake’s It’s All A Blur — The Big What? Tour

Drake and J. Cole will kick off 2024 with their North American It’s All A Blur — The Big What? Tour. While they won’t be hitting too many major cities, Drake does plan to touch on the cities he missed on the first go-around of the tour. This is ideal for Drake fans who also didn’t get to make the first iteration of It’s All A Blur.

Tickets are available for purchase here.

Drake and Kendra Samir’s Titles Ruin Everything poetry book

Drake and longtime collaborator Kendra Samir released a poetry book called Titles Ruin Everything, a collection of words and lines Drake previously described as a “stream of consciousness.” While Drake’s most recent music has prompted some mixed reactions, the poetry book makes for a lovely addition to one’s coffee table.

The book is available for purchase through Drake’s official merchandiser, Drake Related.

Drake’s Views hoodie and sweatpants

Keep it cozy with loungewear embedded with the logo from Drake’s 2016 album, Views — which many fans hail as the quintessential Drake project.

Items are available via Drake Related.

Drake’s Good Thoughts candle

Manifest positive energy into your home with the Good Thoughts candle. Crafted with orange and fir balsam and paired with rose and sandalwood provides a spiritual experience within the house.

Candles are available for purchase through Better World Fragrance House.

Drake’s Nike NOCTA Glides

Kick it like Drake in these stylish new NOCTA Glides, which he designed as a partnership with Nike. These may be a bit more pricey than some of the aforementioned items, but they’ll run you cheaper than some of the tickets for the It’s All A Blur shows. Granted, you may have to fight some Ticketmaster-esque crowds.

The Glides are available for purchase through NOCTA.

Why Isn’t Drake & J. Cole’s Tour Coming To Some Major Cities?

Drake has been going hard this year. On top of his It’s All A Blur Tour, which he coheadlined with 21 Savage, Drake released his eighth studio album, For All The Dogs. While the album prompted some mixed reactions, fans seemed to love the J. Cole collaboration “First Person Shooter,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Next year, Drake will continue the story of It’s All A Blur, with the It’s All A Blur — The Big What? Tour. Over the course of three months, Drake will be joined by J. Cole for the It’s All A Blur — The Big What? Tour beginning in January. However, some fans have expressed disappointment as they aren’t visiting as many major cities as they Drake did for the first go-around of the tour.

Why isn’t Drake & J. Cole’s tour coming to some major cities?

While fans in New Orleans, Denver, and Nashville can look forward to seeing the two rap stars, cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas were noticeably missing from the list of tour dates. While Drake and 21 hit those cities on It’s All A Blur‘s first go around, fans were hoping to see them perform again.

J. Cole’s manager Ibrahim “IB” Hamad took to X (formerly Twitter) today to express sympathy toward fans, and offer an explanation as to why the tour isn’t hitting some major cities.

“I feel your pain but this is not a major city run, the run is for the secondary market we don’t get to go to as much and do shows like how we use to. All Love to DC though,” said IB.

The news is disappointing, however, understandable.
