Drake Finally Unveils ‘For All The Dogs’ Album

The time has come: Drake’s new album For All The Dogs is officially here!

Clocking in at 23 tracks, For All The Dogs sees standout features from 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, J. Cole, Yeat, SZA, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Sexyy Red, Lil Yachty, and Teezo Touchdown. The project is supposed to see Drake returning to his old self, touching on more sentimental and vulnerable topics.

Fans have been waiting patiently since the original September 22nd release date, but Drake had to focus on his tour. Drizzy explained his situation by stating, “Okay my dilemma I am faced with is either cancel shows to finish the album or I complete the mission and drop the album before the last show. I owe you all these memories we are building and anywhere we have missed to-date we will be spinning back for sure. For All the Dogs October 6th. It’s only right…”

Just one day prior, Drake surprise dropped his single and visual for “8AM IN CHARLOTTE,” solely to his Instagram page. Quickly accumulating 2 million likes and over 300 comments, the video saw his one and only son Adonis drawing what appears to be the cover art to the project. In fact, Adonis referred to the image as “Daddy Goat.” Of course, this is synonymous with Drake’s music career, as well as his role as a father.

Drake then jokes about how much money Adonis got for his “beautiful drawing.” Prior to “8AM IN CHARLOTTE,” Drake unveiled his first collaboration with SZA on “Slime You Out.”

As you know, Drake has been on the road on his It’s All A Blur Tour, making headlines left and right (girls throwing their bra on stage, fans trying to get on stage, etc.). The release of the project was going to coincide with the first of two concerts in his hometown of Toronto… but it looks like he has other plans.

Delays be damned, Drake’s long-awaited album For All The Dogs has finally seen the light of day. The “Slime You Out” rapper brought out the big guns for the project’s special appearances. So, is Nicki Minaj featured on Drake’s For All The Dogs? Fellow musicians Bad Bunny, J. Cole, Lil Yachty, 21 Savage, Sexyy Red, and more all pop in for a guest verse. However, Drake’s Young Money comrade is notably missing.

After teasing that they were linking back up for a track in September, this blatant omission isn’t sitting well with fans. During an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Minaj confirmed that the song would make the final tracklist, saying, “You know, I have a song on Drake’s album coming out soon, too. I love the song so much. I’ll just say I really love the song. I know my fans are going to love the song. I know the world’s going to love the song. And that’s all I will say about that.”

Later in the conversation, Minaj revealed that Drake didn’t turn in his verse for her album either. “Barbz, make sure y’all let Drizzy Drake know that Pink Friday 2 is coming out November 17 as well. And we are waiting on his contribution,” declared Minaj, instructing her fans to remind him of his obligation. Maybe Minaj’s forthcoming album will make up for the missed collaboration, or if Drake drops a deluxe edition of For All The Dogs with the unreleased track.

Take a look at some fans’ reactions below.

With Drake’s latest full length LP dropping this morning(October 6) at 6am, many critics and fans alike have been waiting on the latest updates to For All The Dogs, especially after he fired shots at Kanye on “8am In Charlotte”, coupled with the visual featuring his son Adons. With the release of the tracklist, it was impossible not to notice that the opening track was titled “Virginia Beach”, which is, of course, the hometown of Drake’s once arch nemesis Pusha T.

Nicki Minaj Fans Upset With Drake Over Missing Collab

Nicki Minaj fans–the notorious ‘Barbz’ are now upset with rapper Drake. His new 23-track record features appearances from Bad Bunny, 21 Savage, Teezo Touchdown, J. Cole, Yeat, SZA, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Sexxy Red, Lil Yachty and Adonis–but no Nicki. Last night “Dricki” trended on X out after a previously announced collaboration with Nicki Minaj is missing from Drake’s new album.

In July, Drake told fans at a Detroit concert: ‘I’m gonna give away one thing for you tonight because I got a lot of love for Detroit. I’m gonna have to tell you that me and Nicki Minaj did our first song together in a really long time. I got a lot of love for her.’

Do you think Nicki will be added to the deluxe version of the album or was the song scrapped.

Is Drake’s ‘Fear Of Heights’ About Rihanna?

When Lil Yachty said that his friend and frequent collaborator, Drake’s For All The Dogs album would address some controversial topics, he wasn’t exaggerating. No, the “8AM In Charlotte” rapper doesn’t use the 23-track project to provide commentary on social issues. However, he still managed to stir up social media timelines due to his songs’ subject matter. One song, in particular, has users online in a tizzy. After listening to the record, supporters ran to their profile to ask:

Is Drake’s “Fear Of Heights” about Rihanna?

Many users believe so, as the opening verse includes several subtle references to the singer’s nickname, past album, song lyrics, and more. “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you? / That could never be / Gyal can’t ruin me / Better him than me / Better it’s not me / I’m anti, I’m anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you / Okay, I’m auntie like your daddy sister / Auntie like a family picture / And I had way badder b*tches than you, TBH / Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can’t leave you / Y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antilles,” rapped Drake.

Rihanna isn’t the only person fans feel like was slighted on the For All The Dogs. Some believe Drake threw jabs at The Weeknd. At the same time, J. Cole delivered a lyrical punch to NBA YoungBoy. However, the Rihanna references struck a nerve with fans as the musician is now happily committed to her partner, fellow rapper ASAP Rocky, with whom she shares two young children. Rihanna and Drake reportedly dated each other off-and-one in 2009 and then again between 2016 and 2018. Could ASAP Rocky’s song at Rolling Loud Miami 2023 been a pre-rebuttal to Drake instead of Travis Scott?

Check out a few fans’ reactions to the alleged diss and listen to “Fear Of Heights” below.

Drake Revealed He’s ‘Probably’ Taking A Break From Making Music And Explained Why And For How Long

Last year, Drake dropped two albums: Honestly, Nevermind in June and Her Loss with 21 Savage in November. So fans were surprised when an LP was announced for this year, For All The Dogs, which is out today (October 6). However, it looks like Drake is finally taking the break he needs.

On a recent episode of Table For One, Drake said he’s taking a step back. “I’ll probably not going to make music for a little bit, I’mma be real with you. I need to focus on my health, first and foremost,” he said.

He continued, “I’ve been having the craziest problems with my stomach for years. I need to get right, I have a lot of other things I would love to focus on so I’m going to lock the door on the studio for a little bit. I don’t know what a little bit is. Maybe a year or something. Maybe a little bit longer.”

Earlier this year, the rapper was also busy publishing a poetry book titled Titles Ruin Everything: A Stream Of Consciousness By Kenza Samir & Aubrey Graham. The project received mixed reviews.

How Are Drake And Millie Bobby Brown Connected?

Drake’s new album For All The Dogs has arrived, and it’s already dominating the discourse on social media. Among the discussions currently taking place are whether Drake dissed The Weeknd, J. Cole allegedly addressing his supposed beef with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and Drake’s son Adonis making his official rap debut at the end of “Daylight.”

Another topic is Drake’s connection with Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown, which he brings up on “Another Late Night,” which also features Lil Yachty. On it, Drake raps, “My bank account is magnolia, milly rockin’ / Weirdos in my comments talkin’ ’bout some Millie Bobby / Bring them jokes up to the gang, we get to really flockin’.”

How Are Drake And Millie Bobby Brown Connected?

The lyrics stem from a 2018 interview in which Brown addressed a 2017 photo of the pair hanging out backstage at a show. While walking the red carpet at the Emmy Awards, the then-14-year-old Brown said that the two kept in touch via text, and that he offered advice on subjects like boys and handling stardom at an early age (he would know, since he was also a child TV star in his teens, albeit not at all on the same scale).

Of course, because the internet is the internet (y’all need to GO OUTSIDE), some people read a lot into the comments, interpreting ill intent on Drake’s part. He was accused of grooming the young actress, with observers calling him “creepy” and “weird.” Brown herself addressed the criticism on her Instagram Story, writing, ““Why u gotta make a lovely friendship ur headline? U guys are weird… For real. Im very blessed to have amazing people in my life. U dont get to choose that for me. its nice to have people understand what i do. Now get back to talking about real problems in this world other than my friendships…jeez.”

Drake also seems fed up with seeing commentary online (and likely ONLY online… again, GO OUTSIDE) about his supposed proclivities from people projecting. While he’s probably not really going to turn up at anyone’s house over those comments, there’s definitely something off about investing this much in imagining what two famous people text each other.

Does Spotify Have The Explicit Version Of Drake’s ‘For All The Dogs?’

After months of teasing the project through his clothing choices, hair accessories, and onstage announcements, Drake’s highly anticipated solo album For All The Dogs has been uploaded to streaming services. The 23-track body of work features the singles “Slime You Out” featuring SZA, “8AM In Charlotte,” and his long-rumored collaborative records with Bad Bunny and J. Cole. So, does Spotify have the explicit version?

During the record’s rollout, Drake has given exclusives to various platforms. For example, his official video for “8AM In Charlotte,” starring his son Adonis Graham, was first uploaded to social media. On SiriusXM’s Sound 42 station, curated by the rapper’s OVO Sounds label, fans were treated to other goodies. Did Spotify receive any bonus materials? Unfortunately, not. However, the streaming giant does offer two listening experiences of the album.

Once logged into Spotify, two For All The Dogs editions will appear on Drake’s musician profile. The default displayed album is considered the clean version for some users, as no parental advisory label is printed on the cover art. Also, the explicit language marker is absent next to each track. However, if you select the option ‘Album’ and then go to ‘Show All,’ the explicit version of For All The Dogs will be unveiled for accounts without age restrictions.

Take a listen to the explicit version of For All The Dogs below.

Did Drake Diss The Weeknd On ‘For All The Dogs?’

Drake has finally shared his new album For All The Dogs. The album has plenty of features from artists like SZA, 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, Lil Yachty, Sexyy Red, and more, but there’s also some beef — not between J. Cole and NBA YoungBoy, it would seem, but there are rumors of a diss from Drake about another famous musician.

Fans are pointing out a lyric in the track “All The Parties” that goes, “My b*tches playin’ PND and them / The shorties only listen to Weeknd.” However, the lyric shown on Genius keeps changing, so it’s not confirmed that those are the real words. Also, listeners are debating over whether it’s even a diss or not; some are claiming that Drake and Abel Tesfaye are friends, and that there’s no need to read into the line and create unnecessary drama.

The most recent discussion about both Drake and The Weeknd was when an AI-generated collaboration between them called “Heart On My Sleeve” circulated in April. Universal Music Group issued a takedown notice once it went viral. In September, the Academy CEO, Harvey Mason, Jr stated that the song was “absolutely eligible” for a Grammy Award “because it was written by a human,” later offering clarification.
