its all a blur

Drake Joined By Lil Baby In Toronto, 21 Savage Reportedly Denied Entry To Canada

by

Fans expecting 21 Savage for the Toronto hometown shows of the It’s All a Blur tour were left disappointed as the rapper was reportedly unable to secure entry to Canada. Throughout the week, Drake had teased that Savage had finally secured his green card and would be joining him in Toronto for two of the final shows of the tour. However, that did not end up being the case. Savage was reportedly denied entry to Canada.

Instead, Lil Baby joined Drake for the first show since For All The Dogs dropped. While a solid performance and a major get for Drake, it’s still not the person that everyone was expecting. While Drake never explicitly said that Savage would be with him in Toronto, it was heavily inferred from some of the lyrics of “8AM in Charlotte”. “Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian,” had people ready for Savage to hit up the Six.

Drake Facing A Lot Of Heat Over For All The Dogs

Disappointed Savage fans are not the only people who are coming after Drake following his new album drop. From a legal perspective, two separate artists have accused Drizzy of sampling without permission. British synth-pop band Pet Shop Boys have accused Drake of using their 1986 hit “West End Girls” without permission on “All The Parties”. Meanwhile, Rye Rye has said that her vocals appear without permission on “Calling For You”. Drake has not yet responded to either of these allegations.

However, from a fandom perspective, things are even worse. The Barbz are up in arms after Drake’s heavily promoted Nicki Minaj feature does not appear on the album. Meanwhile, the Rihanna Navy is coming after him after he dedicated an entire track, “Fear Of Heights” to dissing the Barbadian baddie. Furthermore, For All The Dogs appears to include disses against Kanye, NBA YoungBoy, and Pusha T. Drake has been pretty quiet about all these alleged diss tracks.

Drake Releases “For All The Dogs” Ft. J. Cole, SZA, Bad Bunny & More

by

After much anticipation, Drake came through with his latest album, For All The Dogs. Arriving at the tail end of his It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage, the Canadian rapper’s kept fans on their toes since announcing the project earlier this year. For All The Dogs boasts an impressive 23 songs in total with a group of impeccable collaborators. Unfortunately, Nicki Minaj doesn’t appear on the project but he does bring out J. Cole, 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, SZA (who appears twice), Chief Keef, and more for the project.

Overall, the album’s credit boasts some impressive names. Yeat, Sexyy Red, Teezo Touchdown, and Lil Yachty all join Drake across the tracklist. However, just before hosting Table For One on Thursday night, the rapper unveiled the official credits for the project which show Kevin Durant served as the A&R on For All The Dogs. With the rapper set to perform in Toronto tonight (Oct. 6) and tomorrow (Oct. 7), we can imagine that Drake intends to perform a handful of these songs for the first time today. Hopefully, he also debuts “8 AM In Charlotte” live, which he premiered on Thursday.

Drake’s Prolific Run Continues

For All The Dogs follows an impeccable run by Drake. Kicking off with 2021’s Certified Lover Boy, he followed up in summer of 2022 with the release of Honestly, Nevermind, a house-influenced body of work that certainly divided fans. However, he slid through in the final quarter of 2022 with another body of work, Her Loss, alongside his tourmate, 21 Savage.

The album was initially supposed to be a companion piece to his poetry book, Titles Ruin Everything, which he released earlier this year. However, between the string of features and singles he’s delivered over the months, he kept fans on the edge of their seats awaiting the new project. Plus, he kept fans up to speed on its release throughout his latest tour. Press play on For All The Dogs above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Metro Boomin Walks Out With 21 Savage During Miami Tour Stop

by

Metro Boomin was the latest famous face to participate in the It’s All a Blur stage walk outs. The iconic producer came out with 21 Savage as part of the tour stop in Miami on September 28. Savage has become something of a forgotten figure on the tour. Despite being the co-headliner, most of the attention on the tour has been focused on Drake and his antics. However, the Metro pull shows that Savage deserves just as much respect as Drizzy gets.

There are just five shows left on the tour that has been going since July. There are two stops in Nashville and Toronto each before the tour ends in Columbus. While it was meant to end in Drake’s hometown, the Columbus stop is a rescheduled show from the start of July.

DJ Khaled Walks Out With Drake

Not to be outdone, Drake had his own iconic producer as a walkout in Miami. DJ Khaled stepped out with Drizzy in South Beach. However, Khaled wasn’t just serving as Drake’s escort. He had a message for fans. Khaled came out to the crowd at the Kaseya Center with a large sign that read “I have 2 Drake songs on my new album coming 2024”. Little is know about Khaled’s new album at this time. However, at least fans know to expect multiple Drake features. We’ll have any new details about the project as they emerge.

Speaking of albums, the shows in Toronto next week are set to be huge. Not only are they Drake’s hometown shows, but the rapper has promised that they will coincide with the release of For All The Dogs. The album, Drake’s third since 2021, has been delayed several times, much to the chagrin of fans. However, Drizzy has promised that it will be worth the wait. Furthermore, he also described the album as a return to the “old Drake”, which has many fans excited after a string of disappointing releases for diehard listeners.

DJ Khaled Walks Out With Drake In Miami, Reveals He Has 2 Drake Features On New Album

by

DJ Khaled is someone who knows how to promote himself. Overall, he has numerous catchphrases that are constantly repeated by fans. Moreover, he is on every single social media platform imaginable. On these platforms, he promotes his music, annoys his wife, and shares his new sneakers. At this point, Khaled is living his best life, and he remains a larger-than-life personality who can crank out hits seemingly at will. That said, it is almost album time, and he is looking to show people what he’s been working on.

A few weeks ago, he dropped a new single. However, it became very clear that he had a new album on the way. Many of the details for this new album have not yet been shared. That said, fans did get a glimpse into who will be on the album, thanks to his appearance at Drake’s show on Thursday night. The Megastar was in Miami, Florida, so it only made sense for Khaled to be there. In fact, Khaled was the lucky one who got to walk Drake out onto the stage.

DJ Khaled x Drake

Most of the people who have walked Drake out have done so fairly quietly. However, DJ Khaled made sure to make a huge impression. As you can see above, he was carrying a huge sign with black bold lettering on it. The message on this big board read, “I have 2 Drake songs on my new album, coming 2024.” It was a message that was received loud and clear. Additionally, it serves as an enticing prospect considering these two have a long history of collaborations.

Hopefully, we get some more information on this album, soon. Let us know your expectations for the two Drake x Khaled tracks, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Drake Accused Of Forgetting Lyrics At ATL Concert; Criticized For “10 Min. Monologues”

by

It feels like we all collectively attended Drake’s It’s All A Blur tour at some point this summer, even if we didn’t. Each concert delivered several viral moments, whether the different celebrities walking him out each night, the bras thrown on stage, or gifting his fans Chanel bags and all-expenses-paid trips to Turks & Caicos. Drake came through with a memorable run this summer. Following the release of four projects in two years, he ensured fans got the experience they deserved.

His latest stop in Atlanta appeared to be one for the books. Of course, Drake never shies away from showing love to the A. However, he made sure that the A received its flowers. He walked out with Bow Wow, brought out Kai Cenat and Druski, and declared Atlanta “the most important place in rap music.” And while many did seem to enjoy the concert, apparently, not everyone did.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Apparently, Drake faced groans when he tried to perform at encore in Atlanta. At least, according to a handful of folks on social media, so we advise that you take this with a grain of salt. One video that began circulating included Drake’s rendition of Ginuwine’s “So Anxious,” a song that he sampled on “Legend.” However, the TikToker who shared the video claimed that they were “waiting for Drake to sing at least one of his songs how he actually recorded them so I can sing along.”

As the clip began circulating on X (Twitter), other fans chimed in, as pointed out by TheNeighborhoodTalk. One fan claimed that they couldn’t “sit there for another motivational speech,” while another said that Drizzy similarly paused his show on numerous occasions to dive into “10 min monologues.” Despite Drake’s success, apparently, not everyone is willing to soak in the inspirational gems he’s provided across the It’s All A Blur tour. Check out the post above and let us know if you shared a similar experience at Drake’s concerts this summer.

Drake Comes Through For Newlyweds Who Skipped Honeymoon To See Him

by

As many of you already know, Drake is currently on his “It’s All A Blur” tour. Moreover, a week from now, he will be dropping his new album For All The Dogs. Overall, this is going to be a massive moment for hip-hop. It is the first time since Certified Lover Boy that Drizzy gave us a fully-fledged album rollout. At this point, we already know what the album cover is going to look like. Furthermore, we got “Slime You Out” with SZA, which turned out to be a very successful track.

In terms of his tour, Drake was just in Atlanta. Throughout the tour, he has been incredibly generous with his fans. If you bring him a story of you spending a lot of money on his show, there is a good chance he will reimburse you, and then some. Although some people are skeptical of this, it seems like the artist is making good on his promises. For instance, on Monday night, the megastar came through for a couple who missed their honeymoon just to see the tour.

Drake Delivers An Amazing Gift

In the video clip above, you can see Drake explaining how he saw a sign that put him in a giving mood. Essentially, he got the couple a trip to Turks and Caicos, which is truly incredible. “She brought a sign to the show that says we canceled our honeymoon for this,” Drake said. “Since we in Atlanta tonight and I’m feeling all the love from everybody. One of my favorite places in the world, you know what it is? Some place called Turks and Caicos. I’ma send y’all to Turks and Caicos on a little honeymoon.” We’re sure a lot of people in attendance were jealous.

Now, all the artist needs to do is give us For All The Dogs in a timely fashion. He delayed the album previously, and fans are worried that he may delay it again. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen. Let us know your expectations for this project, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Drake Walks Out With Bow Wow During Second Atlanta Tour Stop: Watch

by

Aubrey Graham, better known as Drake, is close to wrapping up his incredibly massive It’s All A Blur Tour. Throughout most of his shows, the Canadian rap superstar has brought out tons of big names. The way he has done this is through bringing them onstage or walking out with them. Drake has gotten tons of stars to join him including even sports figures like LeBron James and his son Bronny. Additionally, his rap contemporaries have become a part of the tour’s attraction with Lil Durk, Meek Mill, and others joining The Boy.

What is also cool, is that for some of these shows, he brings out famous figures who are associated with the city he is in. For example, Meek Mill is from Philadelphia, so Drake brought him out for that reason. Furthermore, Drizzy has also been shouting out artists from the city stops he makes. He did this with Paul Wall and others at his Houston show. Now, he did the same for Bow Wow.

Drake Checks Fan Trying To Hug Him During Dallas Show

by

Video has emerged of an awkward encounter from Drake’s It’s All a Blur show in Dallas earlier this week. In the brief clip, Drake is moving his way through the crowd when one fan tries to hug him. The woman, who finds herself right in Drizzy’s path, screams loudly and tries to throw her arms around the rapper. Instead, Drake catches her arms and gently pushes her back into the crowd before moving on. The woman can be seen looking a little stunned about the incident as Drake continues down the seats.

It’s not the first time someone has crossed the line in their interaction with Drake. During a tour stop in late August, footage emerged of Drake doing his crowd walk when a fan appeared to briefly grab him by the throat. The contact only lasted a moment and Drizzy appeared to laugh it off. A day after the footage emerged, Drake even reposted the moment to his Instagram, captioning it “dialed in”.

Drake Gets Positive Fan Moment In Dallas

However, there were some positive fan interactions at the aforementioned Dallas show. During the concert, Drizzy spotted a fan holding up a sign that claimed they had flown all the way from Japan to see the tour. “You came here from Japan for the show? You know what … we flyin’ you home first class back to Japan. We love y’all. I’ve never been to Japan, but you came to me. So that’s love. That’s what life is about. You got to show love,” Drake told the fan.

The story was relayed to the rest of the world by awe-struck fans on Twitter. “There was a couple that flew to my show from Japan. Drake saw their sign and is flying them home first class. He said he’s never been to Japan and it meant a lot that they spent their hard earned money to fly across the world for him,” one fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. The tour is still running for a few more weeks, ending in Columbus, Ohio on October 9.

Drake Pushed Back ‘For All The Dogs’ To October To Avoid Canceling Shows: ‘I Owe You All These Memories’

Drake‘s It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage has proven to be one of the buzziest tours of the year. From collecting bras and undergarments onstage, to offering to fly fans back home first class, the It’s All A Blur tour has been making headlines all summer. Over the course of the tour, Drake has been teasing his upcoming album, For All The Dogs, and finally shared its lead single — “Slime You Out” with SZA — yesterday (September 15).

But last night, following the second Dallas show, Drake took to his Instagram story to reveal that For All The Dogs will be arriving later than its originally planned September 22 release date.

“Okay my dilemma I’m faced with is I either cancel shows to finish the album, or I complete the mission and drop the album before the last show,” he said. “I owe you all these memories we are building and anywhere we have missed to date, we will be spinning back for sure.”

Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too much longer. In the story, Drake revealed For All The Dogs‘ new October release date.

“Its only right…,” he said.

Drake Pays For Fan’s Flight Back To Japan, Announces “For All The Dogs” Delay

It’s been a mixed day of stories for Drake fans. First up is a heartwarming story out of Dallas. During the It’s All a Blur concert in the city, Drake spotted a fan holding a up a sign that claimed they had flown all the way from Japan to see the tour. “You came here from Japan for the show? You know what … we flyin’ you home first class back to Japan. We love y’all. I’ve never been to Japan, but you came to me. So that’s love. That’s what life is about.

Drake Delays For All The Dogs Until October

According to an Instagram post from Drizzy himself, fans will have to wait a while longer for For All The Dogs. “Okay my dilemma I am faced with is I 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…,” Drake wrote on Instagram. October 6 is the date of his first show in Toronto, the third-from-last show of the tour.

Unfortunately, that means that 21 Savage will not be present for the launch concert, or the next-day concert. Due to visa issues, Savage is not allowed to leave the United States. This means he has been unable to attend the various Canadian shows on the tour. It’s All a Blur ends in Columbus on October 9. Are you willing to wait until October 6 for For All The Dogs? How are you feeling about the album in general? Let us know in the comments below.
