Travis Scott Pays Homage To Iconic WWE Entrance During It’s All A Blur Walkout

August 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott made a special guest appearance in Vancouver earlier this week, joining Drake for a stop on the It’s All a Blur tour. However, Scott being Scott, he couldn’t simply just walk out. Instead, the rapper paid tribute to one of the most memorable entrances from the WWE. Every wrestling fan knows what time it is when the bells start tolling. But for one night only, it was Scott and not the Undertaker who was making their way to the stage. Fans were understandably hyped for Scott to make an appearance. Scott is still hyping his latest album, UTOPIA, which has spent the last four weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200. Scott was one of the artists substituting in the place of 21 Savage, who is unable to travel to Canada for legal reasons.

Drake collaborated with Scott on one of the highlights of UTOPIA, “Meltdown”. The song serves as a diss track for both rappers. Scott takes aim at his ex, Kendall Jenner, and her rumored new boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet. Meanwhile, Drake takes shots at Pharrell Williams and Pusha T. It is believed that Drake targeted Williams over Williams stepping into the role of creative director at Louis Vuitton. The position was previously held by the late Virgil Abloh, a close friend of Drake’s. “Meltdown” remains on the Hot 100, sitting after #22 at the time of writing.

Drake Has A “Meltdown” Over Record-Breaking Bra

Speaking of “Meltdown”(s), there have been plenty of shenanigans on the It’s All a Blur tour. During a tour stop in Seattle, Drake was blown away by the bra of a fan’s mother. “Where is your momma at? You gotta send her my love, and tell her to get on Instagram,” Drake said as the crowd went wild. “This is insane, what the hell? I could use this shit as a durag tonight.” Drake then proceeded to briefly wear the bra on his head before continuing to inspect it. What size is this? This is insane. This might be the record-breaker. What size is this?…It’s custom. This is custom, damn. This is that OVO shit. Oh my God, I see the size! It’s a 46J. [Drake then recites the alphabet]. Damn. Shoutout to your momma, girl. Make some noise for this girl’s momma right here.”

Aside from a canceled show on August 28 due to a broken video board, the tail end of the tour has been going well. As things stand, the tour will continue through September and the few days of October. Due to an earlier postponement, the tour will end in Columbus. Originally, the tour was set to end in Drake’s hometown of Toronto. Have you been to an It’s All a Blur concert? What’s been your favorite moment of the tour? Let us know in the comments.

Drake & Travis Scott Perform “MELTDOWN” For The First Time Ever In Vancouver: Watch

August 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Travis Scott brought the heat to Vancouver, BC on Tuesday night. After Drake postponed his Monday night concert in the Canadian city, the rapper made sure that he made up for it on Tuesday. Since 21 Savage hasn’t been able to make it, Drake has replaced him on selected dates with equally enthralling artists. In Montreal, for example, Drake brought out J. Cole for two nights in a row. Travis Scott appears to be the replacement for the remainder of the Canadian dates.

For the first time ever, Drake and Travis Scott performed their new collaboration, “MELTDOWN” off of Scott’s Utopia. “For the first time ever in Vancouver. Astro and the Boy. We in this b*tch! T Time!!!” Drake yelled before leaping into his verse. Fans sang the lyrics back bar-for-bar before Scott’s “is you f*ckin’ crazy” hook kicked in. It definitely lived up to the energy the two delivered on the album version of “MELTDOWN.” It’s an especially big moment since it seems that Drake’s waited for Travis Scott in order to perform the record live.

Drake & Travis Scott Shut Down Vancouver

With a bank of collaborations dating back to 2015, Drake and Travis Scott gave fans a spectacle on Tuesday night. Of course, it wouldn’t have been right if they didn’t perform their diamond-certified single “SICKO MODE,” either. Beyond that, Scott also dove into a handful of records from his new album including “FEIN” and “I KNOW.” From the videos that have emerged, Travis Scott definitely didn’t disappoint his fans who were in attendance at the Vancouver show.

Perhaps, we could expect the two artists to slide through with more music once For All The Dogs drops. Drake has yet to cement a release date for the project but it seems like it’ll likely arrive before the end of the year. Fans anticipated the album would drop last Friday, largely due to reports from Billboard and Amazon Music that confirmed an Aug. 25th release date. Ultimately, fans were left disappointed but he’s provided fans with updates on the way and suggested it would drop before he concludes his tour.

Drake Shoots His Shot At Fan’s Mom, Wears Her Bra On His Head

August 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Another Drake concert, another bra-centric interaction. Drizzy is currently in Seattle for the latest stop on the It’s All a Blur tour. And of course, it wouldn’t be an IAAB show if someone didn’t throw a bra on stage. Like a kid on Christmas, Drake scampered over to the undergarment and marveled at the size. He was then informed that it was actually the fan’s mother’s bra. “Where is your momma at? You gotta send her my love, and tell her to get on Instagram,” Drake said as the crowd went wild. “This is insane, what the hell? I could use this shit as a durag tonight.” Drake then proceeded to briefly wear the bra on his head before continuing to inspect it.

“What size is this? This is insane. This might be the record-breaker. What size is this?…It’s custom. This is custom, damn. This is that OVO shit. Oh my God, I see the size! It’s a 46J. [Drake then recites the alphabet]. Damn. Shoutout to your momma, girl. Make some noise for this girl’s momma right here,” Drake went through a full-blown journey with this bra and every moment of it was hilarious.

However, big bras are not the only thing that Drake has been speaking about in recent weeks. Fans were very disappointed to wake up on August 25, only to find that his new album, For All The Dogs, had not dropped as anticipated. This generated a lot of backlash against Drizzy as the album had been pitched as a return to “Old Drake” and also featured a track with Nicki Minaj. Despite this, Drake stayed firm in his resolve and calmly explained the situation during his first show in Seattle.

“I know everybody’s upset because I didn’t drop my album last night,” he told the crowd. “I didn’t say it was dropping last night. So don’t be mad at me. I just said it was coming soon. It’s not going to be that much longer. Trust me, you know I got shows every night. But I promise you, For All The Dogs is on the way. If you never loved anything I’ve ever done in the past, I promise you, this album will be for you.”

Drake Responds After 50 Cent Says He Wants Drake’s Fans: “Lemme Pull Up”

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As we continue celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, many of the titans and legends who paved the way are hitting the road. 50 Cent has been on The Final Lap tour across North America, marking what could possibly be his final tour of his career. Moreover, the tour intends to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ and he’s been selling out arenas across the country. However, the rapper seems to feel a type of way that women aren’t throwing bras in his direction like they are with Drake.

The “Get Money” MC shared a reel of his backstage banter during one of his recent latest tour stops. “Somebody help me with my feet please.. They don’t treat muthaf**kin’ Drake like this,” he said. “Drake, they throw him bras. What do I get? Aye, could you please go get me some Drake fans? Shit just don’t feel right. I need to feel special around here. I need them to treat me like I’m Drake. Drake get bras every night! I used to get bras in the beginning of my career.”

Drake Offers A Solution

Drake might be occupied with his own tour schedule but it seems like he hopes to provide 50 Cent with a bit of motivation. The Canadian rapper shared the post to his Instagram Story, captioning the post, “FIF LEMME PULL UP FOR A PEP TALK @50cent,” he wrote. While 50 Cent suggested that he might need to switch up his setlist, Drake might be able to help him curate the right set of songs that could result in an influx of bras being thrown on stage.

The Canadian rapper has been highlighting the largest bras thrown in his direction since the launch of the It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage. One woman, Veronica Correia, 21, caught Drizzy’s attention with her 36G-sized bra. After going viral online, Playboy offered her a contract creator deal, which she has since accepted. Hopefully, 50 Cent will be able to help one of his fans similarly after Drake’s pep talk.

Lil Durk Walks Out With Drake At LA “It’s All A Blur” Show

August 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s currently making his way around the U.S and Canada on his “It’s All A Blur” tour alongside 21 Savage. Fans have been eager to see what special guests will be spotted on the tour, recently being surprised with Sexyy Red, Summer Walker, Kim Kardashian, and more. Earlier this summer, the Canadian performer even walked out with Lil Yachty, much to fans’ excitement. At a recent tour stop in Los Angeles, Drake walked out with another surprise guest, Lil Durk.

As one would expect, fans were thrilled by his appearance. In a clip of their entrance, the crowd is heard going nuts for the duo. The guest appearance has also now managed to get social media users speculating about what kind of significance it could have. Many think that Drake could be hinting at a Lil Durk feature on For All The Dogs, which is believed to be dropping this Friday. Though it’s unconfirmed, it would make sense based on a statement the Chicago MC recently made on Twitter.

“Feel like going on my feature run,” Lil Durk wrote earlier this week. “I’m healed,” he added, “First stop sexy red second stop ytbFATT.” Though the rapper failed to mention Drake, a collab on his new album would certainly fall into line with what he said. It’s clear that fans would appreciate a Lil Durk feature on For All The Dogs, following the massive success of their 2020 team-up, “Laugh Now Cry Later.”

Last month, Durk faced an unexpected health scare and was hospitalized for exhaustion and dehydration. This led the performer to cancel a slew of his own tour dates, much to fans’ disappointment. He picked back up with a show in his hometown, which was unfortunately clouded by a false shooting threat. This resulted in the show ending early and some merch stands getting looted. Luckily, he was able to have a great show the following night. Stay tuned to HNHH for more updates on Lil Durk and Drake.

Drake Shouts Out Kobe Bryant Night Before Lakers Legend’s Birthday

August 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake was once again in Los Angeles for another concert on the ongoing It’s All a Blur tour. August 22 marked the sixth show in the greater LA area, following a four-show set in Inglewood. During the August 21 show, Drake went out of his way to feature LeBron James and his son Bronny. However, August 22 saw Drizzy pay tribute to a different Lakers legend.

Performing at the Crypto.Com Arena, Drake briefly paused the show after a black Kobe jersey found its way onto the stage. “I’mma hold this up ’cause we got to show love to Kobe one time. Y’all make some noise for Kobe at this time,” Drake said. After several minutes of thunderous applause from the sold-out crowd, the Toronto rapper continued with his performance. It’s has been a little over three-and-a-half years since Kobe and his daughter Gigi tragically died in a helicopter crash.

Drake Adds Special Meaning To Kobe Bryant Day

Drake’s shout-out to the late Lakers legend came the night before Bryant’s birthday, August 23. He would have turned 45 this year. Furthermore, the moment came two days before Kobe Bryant Day, which the City of Los Angeles declared following Bryant’s death. On August 24, the city encourages its residents to take time to reflect on Bryant’s legacy and his impact. As for Drake, he next has shows in Seattle before closing out the month of August with a pair of shows in Vancouver. The tour is currently set to end on October 9 with a concert in Columbus, Ohio.

However, Drake is not the only one who has been remembering Kobe as of late. During the recent Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement, Bryant’s name was brought up several times. However, one of the more emotional moments came from Bryant’s teammate, Pau Gasol. “I wouldn’t be here without you, brother. I wish more than anything that you and Gigi were here today with us. I miss you and love you,” the Spanish legend said.

Drake & His Dad Spend Quality Time Together In Rapper’s Latest Instagram Post

August 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the midst of a record-breaking tour, Drake and his pops made sure to spend some quality father-son time together. The Canadian rapper’s father has been spotted throughout the It’s All A Blur tour, posted in the stands as his son delivers impeccable performances night after night. However, it looks like the two managed to squeeze in some hangs following Drizzy’s latest performance in Los Angeles where he performed three nights at the Crypto.com, home of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Following the performance, it appears that Drake and his father locked at the club. As per usual, Drake used the moment to preview some new bars for his fans. “I heard ur playing games on my turf. Rather go to Turks than go to church. Say you’re in your bag but expect a purse. Want me to be patient but you’re not a nurse. The gift was the purse. Then I manifested the worst and put you in a verse. SMH talk about the gift and the curse,” he wrote.

A Father-Son Moment

Dennis Graham’s made his presence felt throughout the It’s All A Blur tour on a few occasions. Besides his hilarious reaction to Winnie Harlow’s dance moves, Graham pranked his son with an outrageously large bra. Since the beginning of the tour, Drake’s found himself getting bombarded with an assortment of bras, eventually building up to a challenge of the biggest one. However, Dennis Graham’s gift to his son was accompanied with a handwritten note that undoubtedly caught the 6 God off-guard.

“This might be the end of the saga right here. This might be the end of the road,” Drake told the audience. ‘I don’t know if I even wanna see it, ’cause then I’ll believe that aliens exist.” Then, he read the letter attached to it. “Dad’s wishing ‘BIG’ things for you. I love you and making sure you’re breastfed correctly!” Drake read, startled. Evidently, the two are having tons of fun on the tour right now.

Drake Sees Massive Earnings From It’s All A Blur Tour

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake is set for a massive payday from his ongoing It’s All a Blur tour with 21 Savage. According to Touring Data the pair has already over $41 million from the nine shows that have publicly reported their revenue. That includes breaking the record for the highest boxscore report by a rapper in history. That came as a result of the $18.02 million that the shows at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center pulled in alone.

While revenue from individual shows can and will vary, a basic extrapolation can indicate the scope of their success. Based on the numbers currently available, the tour will make well over $200 million by the time it concludes in October. Major revenue boosts will come from the likes of the four shows in Inglewood as well as the four shows spread over San Francisco and Los Angeles. Additionally, the two-show run in late September in Toronto will bring in some serious cash. The pair of shows in Drake’s hometown were originally scheduled as the tour’s finale.

Drake Crushes It With It’s All A Blur

$41,195,428 Revenue ($4,577,270 avg.)
145,035 Tickets Sold (16,115 avg.)

— Touring Data (@touringdata) August 19, 2023

Of course, Drake’s first tour since 2019 was never going to be a flop. But the numbers that the Canadian rapper is pulling in are absolutely staggering. While big numbers in cities like New York and Boston are to be expected, the tour brought in nearly $4 million in Milwaukee alone. The Fiserv Forum only holds around 15,600 people and the city itself has a population of less than 600,000.

The only figures who are going to have comparable numbers to the It’s All A Blur Tour are Beyoncé (Renaissance World Tour) and Taylor Swift (Eras Tour). But even then, there’s a caveat. The Renaissance Tour is Beyoncé’s first since 2018. Furthermore, it is a truly international tour, with a major European leg before she even hit North America. Meanwhile, Swift is essentially on tour until the end of 2024. Additionally, she is performing nearly triple the concerts of Drake and Savage. We will get a clearer picture of Drake’s success as more venues report their earnings. However, it is set to be a very good year for Drizzy and company.

Drake Nearly Hit In The Head With Book Onstage: “You Lucky I’m Quick”

August 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s currently making his away around the U.S. and Canada on his “It’s All A Blur” tour with 21 Savage. So far, he’s already been the target of various phones, vapes, and especially bras. It’s even become a trend for fans to toss the largest bra they can find at the rapper onstage. This all started after one well-endowed audience member captured Drake’s attention earlier in the tour. Recently, however, things appear to have gotten out of hand. Someone in his crowd decided to throw a pair of boxers at him during a show earlier this week, which he thought was “foul.”

“This was disgusting by the way,” he added of the unwanted undergarment. Now, a new clip has surfaced of a fan throwing something at him that could have caused some serious damage. In the clip, Drake is seen onstage talking to the crowd, when someone decides to hurls a book at him. The book was inches away from hitting the Canadian-born performer right in the head. Luckily, however, he caught it just in the nick of time.

Drake’s Close Call

As one would expect, Drake appears to be pretty annoyed that he almost got nailed in the head with a flying object. “You lucky I’m quick,” he told the book-thrower. He was also sure to let them know that if he hadn’t caught it, he would have had no choice but to “beat [their] a**.” Fortunately for the both of them, Drake’s impressive catch seems to have allowed the performer to finish the show unscathed.

He and 21 Savage will continue to perform around California for the next few days before making stops in Seattle and Vancouver. In September, they’re set to head to Vegas, Glendale, and Denver, performing in the south for the remainder of the month. The “It’s All A Blur Tour” is scheduled to wrap at the beginning of October. Stay tuned to HNHH for more updates on Drake and his “It’s All A Blur” tour.

Drake Smoothly Caught A Book Thrown At Him By A Fan Onstage: ‘You Lucky I’m Quick’

August 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Over the course of the past year, several artists have had weird things thrown or handed to them while they were performing. A fan of Pink handed her a wheel of cheese, and another gave her the ashes of her deceased mother. Another fan once through Skittles at Harry Styles. A more aggressive audience member even threw a phone at Bebe Rexha.

All throughout Drake and 21 Savage‘s It’s All A Blur tour, fans have been throwing brassieres, panties, and other undergarments at Drake while he performs on stage. But last night (August 18), at Chase Center in San Francisco, a fan tossed a book at him.

While quite the writer, and a published author himself, Drake wasn’t thrilled about having a book thrown at him.

Luckily, he caught the book before it hit him. But had he not, it sounds like the consequences would’ve been severe.

“You lucky I’m quick,” said Drake immediately after catching the book. “I would’ve had to beat your ass if that hit me in the face.”

Drake isn’t the only artist who recently warned fans not to throw objects at him while performing. Latto also told a fan that they’d get their “ass beat” if they continued to throw stuff at her while on stage.

You can see a clip from Drake’s show above.
