it's all a blur tour

Drake Offers Help To Fan With MS, Will Pay College Tuition For 7 People At Toronto Show

by

Drake and 21 S*vage’s It’s All A Blur tour is wrapping up soon, and what better city to send it off than the former’s Toronto home? Moreover, before their final concert in Columbus, Ohio, they’ll have two shows in the city- well, technically just Drizzy, since 21 was denied entry into Canada and Lil Baby came out instead. If you know the duo’s trek well, you know that they’ve gone above and beyond to help fans in the crowd, whether with gifts, financially, or with a great performance. Of course, for a show in the 6, you know that its God went all-out for his die-hards.

“This one’s important to me,” Drake told the crowd on Friday night (October 6). “Her sign says, ‘I just found out I have MS [multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease attack]. Will you help make my night?’ You know, my brother [Noah] ’40’ [Shebib] is one of the strongest people on Earth, and he fights through a lot of things. So, what I’m gonna do is, I’m gonna connect you with 40, first of all. Maybe y’all can have a conversation. And second of all, I’m gonna pay whatever it takes to get you the best help in the world. I promise you that. You got my word. And you can come back tomorrow night!”

Drake Empathizes With Fan Going Through MS, Wants To Help Them All He Can

Not only that, but Drake also noticed a lot of others in the crowd going through rough patches. When remarking on some college hopefuls, graduates, or current students in the crowd with signs, he made a big promise. First, the rapper said that he would pay for two people’s tuition, who were holding up signs about their university struggles or happenings. Then, he announced that he wanted to find five more people in the crowd to pay their tuition in full and get them settled, which is an astounding commitment.

Drizzy Will Pay For Seven Fans’ Tuition

Meanwhile, with all the buzz around his new album For All The Dogs, the stage must’ve felt different for Aubrey Graham last night. Whether it was the fans’ energy or the motivation from a new drop, we hope this tour closes out with fireworks. There are still a couple of postponed shows that they haven’t rescheduled, so it’s not fully over yet. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, come back to HNHH.

21 Savage Performing With Drake In Toronto Since Securing Green Card

by

Drake unveiled his eagerly-anticipated new album For All The Dogs this morning after plenty of teasing. Just ahead of the release, Drake dropped off one track from the album, “8AM In Charlotte.” Fans were quick to notice that the song features lyrics about 21 Savage, who’s currently touring with Drake. “Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/ Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian,” he raps.

The UK-born performer had some ongoing issues ICE, after being detained in 2019 for being “unlawfully present” in the U.S. He was later released, but wasn’t allowed to leave the country. Unfortunately, this meant that throughout the It’s All A Blur tour, other acts have had to fill in for him at all Canadian dates. Canadian fans were able to catch performances from J. Cole and Travis Scott, but it was still a disappointment that 21 Savage couldn’t perform. Now that he has a green card, however, he’s been given free reign to perform outside of the U.S.

Luckily for fans, this new development has been unveiled just in time for the final stretch of the It’s All A Blur tour. Drake is scheduled to perform in his home city of Toronto tonight (October 6) and tomorrow, and will reportedly be joined by 21 Savage. The rapper joining Drake in Canada isn’t the only thing he has to look forward to, however.

It was also recently reported by Billboard that he plans on embarking on an international tour sometime in the near future. This, in conjunction with rumors that he’s got a new album on the way, makes for a very exciting development for fans. What do you think of 21 Savage finally securing his green card? Are you enjoying Drake’s new album For All The Dogs so far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more news.

Drake Calls Birdman His “Real OG,” Kai Cenat, Central Cee, And Roy Woods Stop By Tour

by

Drake recently brought his It’s All A Blur tour to Atlanta, where he was visited by some very special guests. In new photos making their rounds online, Roy Woods is seen posing alongside UK rapper Central Cee as well as streamer Kai Cenat. The trio looked to be in great spirits, enjoying the show from the VIP section. Central Cee has opened for Drake at a variety of stops throughout the tour, including Glendale and Charlotte.

In one clip, Cenat and Central Cee can be seen rapping along to Lil Baby’s “Freestyle,” together, and seemed to be having a blast. Kai Cenat, Central Cee, and Roy Woods aren’t the only artists who paid Drake a visit at his recent tour stop, however. In another clip, Cash Money Founder Birdman can be seen in the crowd, and of course, Drake had to give him a shoutout.

In the clip, Drake makes his way down the stairs when he spots the New Orleans native. “Hey!” he says, telling fans to “make some noise for [his] real OG.” He then grabs the camera and directs it at Birdman, who takes the opportunity to wave to the rest of the audience. The two of them are known to have a solid relationship since Drake’s departure from Birdman’s label. “I’m always going to be involved in the Cash Money/Young Money imprint,” Drake explained to Rap Radar in 2019. “And my loyalty, like I said, always lies there.”

Drake’s now at the tail end of his It’s All A Blur tour, after kicking things off in July. He’ll wrap things up this month, with a couple of shows in Toronto next week. He then plans to head to Denver, New Orleans, Nashville, and Columbus, but those dates have yet to be announced.

Drake Gifts Fan $50K To “Flex” On Girlfriend Who Left Him: Watch

by

Drake’s It’s All A Blur tour with 21 S*vage isn’t saving all the money for its performers; even some fans are getting a lot of cash for going to the shows. Of course, that’s because of the generosity from these artists, who have often given fans Chanel bags, cash, plane tickets, and much more during their trek. Most recently, Drizzy gave a fan $50K at the Miami show (presumably on Saturday, September 29) after he said that his girlfriend left him, which is the most fitting reason to give a fan of his music some bands. Previously, a few lucky attendees at each show were able to share their backstories or experiences, which usually involved a reward or two, and this just adds to that tradition.

“Aye, I gotta read that sign, I like that sign,” Drake said to a fan in the crowd. “That’s a good sign to pick tonight. Usually I’ll, like, do something nice for a lady. I’d do something nice, I’ll give away a bag or some s**t like that.

“But my bro right here,” Drake continued. “He said ‘I spent all my savings buying tickets for me and my ex, but Honestly, Nevermind, it’s really Her Loss.’ So she ain’t come with you tonight? She ain’t come with you tonight to the Drake show?! What the f**k is wrong with her? And you in here just icy with the gold chain and the sunglasses on? Aye, you know what?”

Then, the crowd started chanting “F**k that b***h!” “Alright, that’s a little aggressive,” the Toronto native replied to the stadium. “But you know what? She’s gonna feel real f***ed up. ‘Cause I’ma give you 50 bands so you gon’ flex on her tonight. That’s how we doing it tonight, big dog! It’s your night tonight! And I won’t say it how y’all said it, but f**k that young lady. Miami, I love y’all so much, you showing so much love. You showing too much love tonight.” For more news and the latest updates on Drake, stick around on HNHH.

Drake Honours Takeoff During Atlanta Tour Stop: Watch

by

The one-year anniversary of Takeoff’s death is quickly approaching, but for many loved ones and fans of the late rapper, his passing still doesn’t feel real. The Migos’ partner in rhyme, Quavo, spoke candidly about how he still feels his nephew’s spirit in an interview earlier this year, revealing that he still visits Take’s house to check on his things and make sure everything is in order. Others in the industry continue to mourn the loss of the Rocket Man as well, including Drake, who took a moment to pay tribute to his former collaborator during Monday (September 25) night’s tour stop in Atlanta.

“The first time I came to Atlanta, was I hopped on the remix to the song called ‘Versace,’” the 36-year-old recalled while wandering around his stage. The crowd instantly began cheering at the thought of him performing the classic club banger, but instead, he shared a heartfelt story about his late amigo. “And I just wanted to say while I’m in here, rest in peace to my brother Takeoff. One of my first brothers out here in Atlanta.”

Besides the “Versace (Remix),” we also heard Champagne Papi and Take join forces with Quavo and Offset back in 2018 for “Walk It Talk It.” The Southern rap group joined forces with the father of one to tour across North America shortly after, leaving Drake with plenty of fond memories to look back on whenever he finds himself missing the “HOTEL LOBBY” hitmaker.

Speaking of For All The Dogs, the first single from Drake’s upcoming album has been receiving mixed reviews online, though it did still land at No. 1 on the Billboard chart. Charlamagne Tha God was among those criticizing “Slime You Out” with SZA, though he’s not joking that the entire feud between him and the Canadian was a planned part of Drizzy’s album rollout.

Drake Calls Atlanta “The Most Important Place In Rap Music” During Concert

by

Drake recently hit up Atlanta for his first of two shows in the city for his It’s All A Blur tour with ATL MC 21 S*vage. On Monday (September 25), he hit the stage and gave fans what they’ve been seeing blow up online for the past two months or so. Moreover, the trek has been nothing short of exciting, star-studded, eventful, and creative. For this first performance in the A, the Toronto MC fulfilled that precedent and anticipation with a stellar concert going through his biggest hits and bringing out some close friends. Furthermore, Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young, UK rap giant Central Cee, and Twitch streaming sensation Kai Cenat turned up alongside him for this event.

“Of course, Atlanta- well, first of all, make some noise for my brother Central Cee killing this s**t tonight,” Drake told the cheering crowd as he embraced each of his invitees. “Make some noise for my brother Kai Cenat one time in here, you know. And of course, make some noise for Trae Young in here one time tonight. We at ATL and s**t, wassup!”

What’s more is that the 6 God also took some time to honor the city of Atlanta as the hub of hip-hop right now, and one of its key homes in the genre’s history. “What would any of us be without Atlanta?” Drake asked his fans in ATL. “All the love that you’ve shown, all the musicians that you birthed, all the contributions that you give. This is hands-down the most important place in rap music and you should be very proud of yourselves.

“I know me, all the artists that I’ve done the greatest work with, all the artists that I love, all the artists that inspire me, the majority of them come from right here in Atlanta,” the 36-year-old continued. “So y’all make some noise for yourselves tonight. We celebrating you.” He may have found a new home in Houston, but it’s clear that he loves Atlanta deeply as both a fan and as an artist inspired by its excellence. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Drake.

Drake’s It’s All A Blur tour has been a highlight in the entertainment world for the past couple of months, captivating audiences across North America. Tonight, the tour made its way to Atlanta, where the excitement continued to build. The concert not only drew a massive crowd but also brought in more celebrities and notable figures. Among the notable attendees were British rapper Central Cee and the popular streamer Kai Cenat, who added to the star-studded audience. The atmosphere appeared energizing, with fans and celebrities alike eagerly awaiting Drake’s performance.

In a lively Instagram video shared from the event, Kai Cenat can be seen capturing the moment as he sings along to the lyrics of Lil Baby’s “Freestyle,” which serves as the backdrop to his video. As he sings every word, he looks like he’s having the time of his life. The video then pans to Central Cee who begins singing along to the lyrics with Cenat.

Drake’s ability to draw such a diverse and high-profile crowd underscores his status as a global icon and the tour’s immense success. In fact, Drake is definitely seeing a massive payday from the tour. As HNHH previously reported, “the tour will make well over $200 million by the time it concludes in October.” As Drake continues to make his way across North America, it’s clear that it will leave a lasting impact on fans and celebrities alike, solidifying its place as one of the most unforgettable tours of the year.

The Atlanta show built a lot of excitement among fans, and this anticipation was perhaps even more intense for one particular attendee. While performing in Houston, Drake took a moment between songs to express his appreciation for one devoted fan. In a generous gesture, he paused the show to acknowledge a woman in the front row who he noticed had attended multiple tour stops already. He gifted the woman an experience of a lifetime, offering to fly her first class to the Atlanta show where she would get to sit VIP and watch the concert. To top it off, he also said he would gift her $10,000 to spend during her time in the city. Stay tuned to HNHH for more stories!

Drake’s Side-Eye To A Fan In The Crowd Hilariously Disrupts Performance: Watch

by

During one of his most recent It’s All A Blur tour shows with 21 S*vage, Drake was feeling particularly sassy. Of course, this isn’t too surprising, as he often keeps the humor up during his concerts and loves to interact with fans in meaningful ways. However, as the 6 God sang a slightly remixed version of “One Dance,” it seems like he really just wanted fans to pipe down for a second rather than play into their energy. Specifically, a fan let out a shrill scream as he went through the chorus, which evidently caught his ears. With a side-eye towards the scream, whether out of concern or annoyance, Drizzy provided an online meme without skipping a singe beat of his performance.

That being said, hopefully that scream was just a fan being excited and not actually in any distress. Either way, it made “One Dance” a bit funnier this time around. Actually, it’s a bit of a shame that this happened during that track in particular, because whenever Drake switches a song up during these shows, it can make for a really cool and unique moment for fans who haven’t seen him yet. At least you couldn’t really notice it unless you were very, very close to him onstage.

Meanwhile, other fan interactions while on tour have been equally as notable and much more wholesome. For example, the 36-year-old spotted a fan in the front row that’s already been to a couple of shows. After shouting her out, Drake clarified that she has a first-class ticket to Atlanta and a VIP stay at another concert of his, and even offered her $10K to spend while there. That’s probably her money’s worth for her many visits- and then some.

In other OVO news, For All The Dogs is still on the horizon for October 6, and “Slime You Out” is still getting heavy play. As such, maybe die-hards will clamor for another tour soon specifically centered around this project. Even though It’s All A Blur wraps up just a couple of days after its release, we’re sure that Aubrey Graham will treat fans to some early favorites from it. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake.

Bun B Delivers High Praise For Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” Tour

by

Drake and UGK rapper Bun B have crossed over a few times on songs in the past. Most notably B makes an appearance on the track “Uptown” alongside Drake and Lil Wayne on Drizzy’s album So Far Gone. Drake used a verse from Bun’s fellow UGK rapper Pimp C on the track “Faithful” from his album Views. Clearly, the pair are fond of each other as Bun recently took the chance to attend a stop on Drake and 21 Savage’s “It’s All A Blur” tour. Afterwards, he had pretty high praise for the pair’s performance.

Over the weekend Bun B took to Instagram to express some high praise of Drake’s performance. “If at all possible, do NOT miss your chance to see the @champagnepapi It’s All A Blur tour. Da Boy gives a hell of an experience. I was thoroughly impressed with the production value and the performances from @centralcee @zackbia and @21savage as well. You killed it bruh!” he captioned his Instagram post. That followed a show where Drake made sure to put Bun on the jumbotron and shout out the legend. “This my dog right here. Raised me up in this sh*t,” he said of his fellow rapper. Check out the video below.

Earlier this year, Bun B spoke on Tory Lanez’s sentencing and chose his words very carefully. While he condones domestic violence in all forms he also hopes that Tory eventually makes it home okay and says that he doesn’t wish prison time on anyone.

Just a few months ago, Drake paid a visit to Bun B at his Houston restaurant. The rapper runs a burger spot called Trill Burgers and his fellow rapper stopped by for a bite. The pair’s friendship seems to still be going strong after more than a decade of knowing each other. What do you think of Bun B telling fans they can’t miss out on Drake’s tour?

Drake Gives A Fan $10k And A First Class Flight To Atlanta

by

Drake has been hitting cities all over North America all summer and fans have noticed who is in attendance. From sports mega-stars like Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, and Johnny Manziel to musicians like Bad Bunny, Latto, Lil Yachty and more have shown up to attend. But just like fans have taken notice of the many celebrities in attendance, the rapper himself took notice of one particular fan.

During a stop in Houston, Drake took the opportunity in between songs to show love to one particular fan in attendance. He stopped the show to talk directly to a woman in the front row, shouting her out for appearing at numerous tour stops this summer. But he went far beyond just being happy to see her. He announced to the crowd that the special fan was being flown first class to Atlanta to sit in the VIP section for another show on tour. He concluded the interaction by offering her $10k to spend while there, which caused the crowd to erupt in applause. Check out the full video below.

Drake Gives Surprise Gift To A Die-Hard Fan

This isn’t the first time recently that Drake has shown off his generosity during a show. He’s been giving out Chanel bags to fans in attendance recently and one particular fan’s sign caught his attention at a recent show. The sign showed just how many Brazilian waxes one fan had to perform to make the money for a ticket, and the rapper rewarded her appropriately with a Chanel bag to take home after the show.

During that same show, he also reunited with his splash brother French Montana. That led to speculation about if Montana would appear on Drake’s new album For All The Dogs. He’s already announced that Bad Bunny will be appearing on the record and released a new song with SZA that’s expected to land in the tracklist when it drops next month. What do you think of Drake gifting a fan in his crowd a first-class plane ticket and $10k Let us know in the comment section below.
