F1 Team Uses Unreleased Kendrick Lamar Snippet In New Promo Video

by

The world is still waiting on Kendrick Lamar to drop new music. The Compton set the world on fire with “Not Like Us” and its accompanying video. Those who watched closely, though, know that Dot played a snippet of an unreleased song at the beginning of the video. The snippet was wildly catchy, and featured a sample of a classic 80s single. It’s been months without any update on the snippet, but that didn’t stop the Mercedes F1 team from using it to their advantage. The team weaved the snippet into a social media promo for their drivers.

The video, which was posted on Instagram, sees the Mercedes F1 team in action while Lamar raps. It’s a pretty slick melding of sight and sound. It may seem a bit random, combining racing with rap, but there’s actually a precedent with regards to Kendrick Lamar. Lewis Hamilton, the star driver on Mercedes, posed for a photoshoot in on October 14. The photoshoot saw the driver pose sitting down, front of a white and red flag. It was a striking pose on its own merits, but what really caught fans off guard is the tribute that was being paid to Kendrick Lamar.

Kendrick Lamar Teased The Song In His Last Video

Hamilton’s pose and color scheme was a direct reference to Lamar’s Super Bowl announcement video. The Compton rapper confirmed he was playing the 2025 Halftime Show by posing with a football and sitting in front of a white and red flag. The irony is that Lewis Hamilton was actually linked to Kendrick Lamar’s opponent, Drake, during the start of the beef.

Lewis Hamilton Move To Ferrari Leaves Fans Stunned & Eager For Chaos

by

A bombshell announcement has rocked Formula One as long-time Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton is expected to join rivals Ferrari for the 2025 season. Hamilton is signed to Mercedes through the 2025 season following a contract extension last year. However, a deal that is “as good as done” will now see Hamilton replace young Spanish driver Carlos Sainz next year. Sainz finished seventh in the 2023 season standings. Hamilton finished third behind a dominant Red Bull 1-2 from Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

It is believed that Hamilton is seen as Ferrari’s best chance to win a Drivers’ Championship for the first time since 2007. The hope is that pairing him with Charles Leclerc will finally end the iconic team’s lengthy drought. Once the most dominant team in F1, Ferrari has been blocked by Mercedes and now Red Bull. The departure of Sebastian Vettel in 2020 ended a nearly 25-year run of Ferrari rostering at least one world champion. A formal announcement is expected later today.

Fans Ready For The Chaos Of Lewis Hamilton To Ferrari

Fans are already preparing themselves for a chaotic 2025 season. A wave of memes erupted after news of the move broke. Amidst the fantasy of fans were scenes of Hamilton fighting with the technical crew at Ferrari as well as tense confrontations with his current boss, Tito Wolf. There was also some thought spared to Ferrari fans, who are obviously confused about the prospect of their biggest rival joining the team.

However, much of the shock stems from the fact that the move is completely unexpected. Hamilton himself had publicly laughed off any notion of such a move as recently as last year. But it appears that Ferrari chairman and long-time Hamilton admirer John Elkman had been persistent in his pursuit of the seven-time world champion over the past few months. Frederic Vassuer, who helped Hamilton win GP2 (Now Formula Two) in his youth, is also believed to have played a major role in securing the move. Despite this, for the moment, all parties are staying silent until the expected formal announcement.

Drake Drops $1 Million On Custom Dune Buggy

by

Drake recently took to Instagram to show off one of his latest extravagant purchases. The hitmaker bought a custom dune buggy, which cost him nearly $1 million. He flexed the pricey off-road vehicle on his Story earlier this week. “[red drip emojis] still buying toys,” he wrote.

Tony Bet, Drake’s personal car customizer, is behind the flashy custom vehicle. He also shared some shots of the dune buggy on his page, writing, “@champagnepapi doesn’t mess around. Here is his custom built 900HP Brabus Crawler! Thank you for the opportunity [fire emoji].” His photos reveal that the vehicle features a silver plaque reading, “Brabus Masterpiece. Specially built for Aubrey Drake Graham.” The vehicle came just in time for Drake’s 37th birthday, which he celebrated on Tuesday (October 24).

Drake’s “Still Buying Toys”

This isn’t the only flashy new custom item Drake’s received as of late, however. Earlier this week, Birdman surprised him with a Cash Money chain at the club. “Oh, that’s that new sh*t!” he said excitedly upon opening the box. Obviously, he seemed to be thrilled by the thoughtful gift, immediately putting the chain around his neck. He also became the first person ever to get over 200 million RIAA-certified single units as a lead artist this week, which was only the cherry on top of his week-long festivities.

Drake also hosted a huge birthday party for himself in Miami on Monday (October 23), surrounded by loved ones. While fans expected it to be pretty lavish, the bartenders were shockingly top-tier. Producer BNYX shared a clip of Breaking Bad‘s Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston making people’s drinks, which is pretty impressive, even for Drizzy. The pair also got the opportunity to promote their mezcal brand, Dos Hombres. What do you think of Drake’s pricey new dune buggy?
