Here to help us end February on a high note is Drake and Lil Yachty’s Moody Conversation interview, which made its debut just a few days ago. In the time since, many have had the opportunity to tune into the 35-minute video, and have been sharing their favourite moments on social media. Among them are the rappers discussing things they’ve learned in therapy to the Canadian’s rising age.
Speaking of the latter, Drizzy was quite literally left speechless when the “Poland” hitmaker teased him about “gettin’ up there” following his 36th birthday last October. “Just sayin’,” the younger performer laughed as his long-time pal struggled to find the words to say. When he finally did, the father of one told Yachty that he can’t wait to see him grow “old as f*ck.”
“By the time I’m old as f*ck, you’re gonna be old as f*ck. You’re gonna be using a cane,” the 25-year-old clapped back at Drake. “First of all, I’ll be 10 years older than you. Still dripped out.” According to Yachty, the 6ix God’s love for basketball is what’s sure to result in him relying on a cane. Additionally, he labelled his friend as the kind of guy who says, “30 is the new sexy.”
So far, the Moody Conversation is eliciting countless laughs from viewers. As the clips continue to circulate online, many are showing love to one that chiefly finds Champagne Papi discussing a past therapy session during which he learned all about relating to women who are well endowed in the bust. “Often when I meet people I have to like humanize myself,” he began.
@phenobars Drake’s therapist is wild

“I was talking to a therapist at one point and he was like… ’You know, no matter what kind of woman you’re chasing physically, you have the biggest tits in the room. Nobody can think about anything else other than just your gigantic tits’ — which is you’re Drake,” he told Yachty. From the sounds of things, the Scorpion rapper’s therapist wanted him to understand that people perceive his celebrity status the same way they see a woman’s large breasts.
He went on to say, “All the preconceived notions, they can’t see past the gigantic tits unless they talk to you and then they’re like, ‘Oh wow, your tits are huge but you’re super smart. You’re really nice and kind.’ So, it’s interesting. That’s why I relate to girls with huge tits,” Drake laughed. Check out the hilarious moment in the TikTok above, and check back later for more pop culture news.

At early February’s Grammy awards, R&B icon Robert Glasper took home the award for best R&B album. His Black Radio III project includes stellar features guests like Common and Erykah Badu. Additionally, it beat out albums from Mary J. Blige and Lucky Daye. However, one of his R&B peers was not too thrilled with this result. Chris Brown, who was also nominated in the category, had some choice words for Glasper. “Y’all playing. Who da f–k is this?” he wrote on Instagram. “Who the f–k is Robert Glasper? I’ma keep kicking y’all a– respectfully.”
After receiving backlash for this, though, Breezy texted Glasper an apology: “I would like to apologize if you took offense to my reaction at the Grammys. You were not the intended target and I know I came off really rude and mean,” he texted. But, Glasper still used the incident to his advantage. Selling t-shirts with “Who the f–k is Robert Glasper?” printed on it, Glasper raised donations for a New Orleans music education non-profit. However, even though it seems both Brown and Glasper have since moved on from the debacle, fellow R&B star Thundercat has not.
On Tuesday (Feb. 28), beloved guitarist/vocalist Thundercat posted to Instagram a group of photos from a recent outing. Shown hanging out with Drake, Robert Glasper and Dave Chappelle, Thundercat used the opportunity to jab at Breezy. “‘Who the fuck is Robert Glasper?’…lol.” Thundercat captioned the post. It truly means something when Glasper is hanging with superstars like Drake. It makes it even more curious how Chris Brown could not know who he is. Either way, though, Thundercat surely felt it necessary to defend his friend.
The photos Thundercat posted were taken at Bootsy Bellows Club in Los Angeles. It’s not currently clear why Drake, Glasper, and the gang were there, or what day they were. But, Bootsy Bellows also just recently hosted an album release party for Don Toliver. So, it would appear that this particular club is home to many of Hollywood’s most decorated stars. And, in particular, that would include the esteemed Robert Glasper.
Drake recently opened up about exactly how one of his first interactions with Lil Wayne went. Specifically, the Canadian rapper noted that Wayne didn’t know what his name was when they meant, during an episode of A Moody Conversation alongside Lil Yachty.
“And I think his name was kinda like ‘Drake Drizzy Rogers’ / Or ‘Drizzy Drake Rogers,’ I’m too busy to play father,” Lil Wayne rapped in their 2008 collaboration, “Ransom.”
Yachty then asked Drake if Wayne still calls him that, fifteen years later. That was when Drake asked if he was aware of the backstory before sharing how exactly that line came to be.
“My email was [email protected]; Rogers was the service provider in Canada and [he] didn’t realize the ‘at’ in the email was like a middle interference,” Drake said. “He just thought my name was Drizzy Drake Rogers. I mean he rapped it once, I just didn’t have the heart to correct him.”
Rogers Communications, of course, is a major Canadian media and communications company that also owns the MLB’s Toronto Blue Jays and the Rogers Centre, where Drake’s beloved Toronto Raptors used to play their home games years ago.
Later in the interview, Drake and Lil Yachty discussed accents — with Canada coming up once again.
“I literally want to meet the first Toronto man of all time,” Drake added. “I don’t know who he is. I don’t know where he got the accent from or any of that but I know that he’s influenced all of us. I’m a full father talking like internet memes because that’s just my upbringing.”

North Carolina’s premier hip-hop and R&B multi-day event, Dreamville Festival, is backed with a stacked lineup. Organized by rap star J. Cole’s record label, Dreamville, the two-day outdoor festivities will be headlined by Usher, Drake, Burna Boy, and himself. The powerhouse event bill justifies Cole’s message on Twitter prior to the announcement.
“Bout to drop the hardest festival lineup ever Dreamville Fest sheeeeeeeesh [crying laughing emojis],” wrote Cole. However, with such heavy hitters, many are wondering how much are Dreamville Fest 2023 tickets.

The Dreamville Festival gets bigger and better every year and 2023 is no exception. J. Cole’s little label-that-could recently announced the lineup for its third iteration and it’s kind of a doozy. Not only will Usher headline the first night fresh off of his hot Las Vegas residency, but J. Cole has recruited co-headliner Drake to help him close out the festival — a connection that longtime fans of both will surely appreciate.
In addition to the usual gang — Ari Lennox, Bas, Cozz, Earthgang, JID, Lute, and Omen — the remaining lineup is a millennial dream come true, with plenty of Gen Z faves in the mix as well. Big-name stars of yesteryear like Mario, Sean Paul, and Waka Flocka Flame have been paired with contemporary heavy hitters such as Baby Tate, Burna Boy, City Girls, GloRilla, Jessie Reyez, Key Glock, Lil Durk, SiR, and Summer Walker. The fest also highlights rising stars like Arya Starr, Jordan Ward, Marqus Clae, Reuben Vincent, and Victony for a truly well-rounded experience.
The festival returns to Raleigh, North Carolina, on April 1 and 2. You can check out last year’s highlights below. Dreamville Fest 2022 was headlined by J. Cole and Lil Baby and featured performances from DJ Drama (with Jeezy, Lil Wayne, and T.I.), Ja Rule & Ashanti, Wale, and Wizkid.

Rap superstar J. Cole’s record label’s annual namesake music festival is back. After being canceled in 2020 amid coronavirus concerns, last year, the festival expanded much to the pleasure of avid supporters. The multi-day lineup continues this year, as Dreamville Festival 2023 will be held on both April 1 and 2 at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina.
This year’s festival will be headlined by Usher (on Saturday, April 1), J. Cole, Drake, and Burna Boy (on Sunday, April 2). Of course, Dreamville acts will grace the stage. Both Ari Lennox and JID’s respective tours will wrap up at the end of next month, giving them both plenty of time to prepare for their Dreamville Fest sets.
Minutes before dropping the lineup, Cole teased, “Bout to drop the hardest festival lineup ever @Dreamvillefest sheeeeeeeesh [crying laughing emojis].”

Other notable acts on the lineup include Lil Durk, City Girls, Sean Paul, Sir, Summer Walker, Jessie Reyez, Baby Tate, and GloRilla.

Dreamville Fest continues to grow each year into one of those events you don’t want to miss out on. Over the years, they’ve brought out some incredible talent while highlighting the Dreamville roster. J. Cole rightfully takes on the headlining slots, but he ensures that fans have a full experience throughout the two-day events. The festival launched in 2018, though it faced delays that year due to Hurricane Florence. However, despite the minor delay, Dreamville Festival became an annual staple in Raleigh, NC.
The 2022 installment came with plenty of momentum as J. Cole and Dreamville delivered D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape, hosted by DJ Drama, just days before. The two-day event boasted appearances from acts like Fivio Foreign, Moneybagg Yo, Lil Baby, and WizKid. Along with J. Cole, DJ Drama hosted a special Gangsta Grillz set alongside Lil Wayne, Jeezy and T.I. for his headlining slot. Evidently, they continue to raise the bar year after year with impressive rosters that lead to viral moments.
Today, Dreamville formally announced the line-up for the 2023 installment which takes place on April 1st and 2nd. The first night will include a headlining spot from Usher. However, Cole will close out this year’s Dreamville Festival with a bang. Drake and J. Cole will share the stage on April 2nd for a co-headlining set at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina. Though the two have brought each other out on numerous occasions, the co-headlining set will be a first in both of their careers. Perhaps, this could be a sign that they have a new collaboration on the horizon.
Besides the headlining acts, Dreamville Fest 2023 will be filled with exciting performances across the two days. Several artists from Dreamville, including Ari Lennox, EarthGang, Lute and Omen, will take the stage on April 1st, while J.I.D, Bas and Cozz will hit the stage the following day. The festival will also boast performances from Sean Paul, City Girls, Lil Durk, Key Glock, and Sir on day one. The next day, Summer Walker, GloRilla, Waka Flocka, Mario, Baby Tate and Ayra Starr will hit the stage. Additionally, Burna Boy is also set to perform on April 2nd. Check the full line-up above.
