XXXTENTACION Trial: Drake’s Armed Guards Accused Of Blocking Subpoena
The defense team in XXXTENTACION’s murder trial accused Drake and his camp of blocking a subpoena. Moreover, codefendant Dedrick Williams’ lawyer, Mauricio Padilla, filed a motion in Broward accusing Drizzy’s guards of dismissing the court order. According to the Miami Herald, the Friday (February 17) motion also includes a request for the rapper to attend a deposition to detail his involvement in X’s death. While many in the court seem to dismiss his supposed involvement, the defense team is adamant about needing his testimony. However, Broward Judge Michael Usan nulled an order on Tuesday (February 14) that would’ve called Drake for a virtual deposition on February 24.
Furthermore, the “Nice For What” artist faced contempt in court if the order remained and he didn’t show. Still, Padilla retained the ability to subpoena Drake after Judge Usan’s order. As such, he issued yet another motion asking authorities to require a deposition from the rapper. Also, he wants him held in contempt of court if he misses it. Even though a lack of evidence suggests otherwise, the attorney maintained that Drake had a hand in X’s death.
DAMN!

“The court explained the importance of balancing the rights of the defendants to investigate this first degree murder case properly with Aubrey Drake Graham’s privacy issues,” the motion read. “It was clear by the court’s ruling that he expected for the parties to work together and that despite entering the order vacating, that he expected the deposition to take place.” In addition, Padilla stated that Drake’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, refused to accept a subpoena for him to testify. Moreover, he claimed that armed guards at Drake’s California home prevented a servicer from handing the order.
Meanwhile, Cohen stated that Padilla exhibited a “lack of foundation” in his efforts. Furthermore, Law & Crime footage from Monday court proceedings (February 13) illuminates the process. For example, he explained that Padilla sent Drake an unsealed Zoom link and didn’t detail its conduction. Therefore, Cohen labeled the subpoena as “procedurally defective.” Whether Judge Usan accepts Padilla’s new motion on Tuesday (February 21) remains unknown. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest updates on Drake in the XXXTENTACION murder trial.
Drake Reveals Price Of Engagement Ring Necklace
Drake recently revealed the absolutely insane price of his engagement ring necklace with 42 diamonds. During a conversation with Instagram influencer Chris Too Smoove, Chris asked Drake to break down his fit’s cost from head to toe. Before getting into it, the Canadian star shouted out Icey Cold, who was another influencer who did this prompt with Drake before. To start, he didn’t know how much his Thom Browne glasses cost, thought he lost them a few times. Furthermore, he said his diamond earrings cost $1,200 and his diamond watch cost $900K.
Meanwhile, his jacket and shirt both cost $400 each, and when asked about his baggy jeans, Drake said he actually made them. While he didn’t know how much his boots cost either, he did tell Smoove to save the chain for last. Moreover, even then he hesitated a little bit before breaking it down. “Honestly, I’m embarrassed to say, probably like nine… Yeah, over 10 Ms, for sure.” As such, Smoove and onlookers screamed at Drake’s 10 million dollar bling. Of course, as probably the most successful and money-making rapper of his generation, are we really surprised?
Moreover, the self-proclaimed Champagne Papi has an interesting relationship with that necklace. For example, he designed it along with New York jeweler Alex Moss, who posted it on Instagram. Also, the piece took a year to complete and, in addition to diamonds, used 18-karat white gold. “Ordering the impossible,” a female voice narrated in Moss’ post showing off the chain. “An expedition spanning 14 months. Every diamond hand-selected. Inspected to only suit perfection.” However, the most interesting part about the piece revealed itself in the caption.
Drake has acquired a new custom diamond necklace called, “Previous Engagement” for all the times he thought about engaging women but never did.
The necklace is made of 42 engagement rings and 351.38 carats in diamonds

“New piece titled ‘Previous Engagements’ for all the times he thought about it but never did it,” the video’s caption read. “42 engagement rings, 351.38 carats in diamonds. By Alex Moss New York & Drake.” Overall, it’s pretty much the most Drake-like piece of jewelry ever created, and we’d be lying if we said he didn’t rock it. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for more insane celebrity purchases and the latest on Drake.
OVO x Air Jordan 18 Sample Surfaces Online
Sneakerheads are well aware of the amazing shoes that Drake’s OVO label has created over the years. Of course, Drake has a deal with Jumpman, and while we almost said goodbye to it in 2018, he has remained with the brand ever since. Overall, Drake’s OVO x Jordan Brand aesthetic has been hard to miss. It typically involves some incredibly flashy gold accents, all while offering up the iconic owl logo. From the Air Jordan 8 to the Jordan 10 to the Jordan 12, Drake and OVO have truly lived up to their lavish reputations.
These days, Drake’s work with Nike is mostly centered around his NOCTA brand. However, there are certainly plenty of fans out there who would like the OVO Jordans to make a comeback. After all, there are so many great silhouettes that he could work with. Just imagine an OVO x Air Jordan 1. That is a shoe that would break the internet and would drum up a ton of hype. Although, for now, fans will have to settle for these newly-surfaced images of an OVO Air Jordan 18 sample from 2017.
Another OVO Jordan Sample
These pictures come to us from the good people over at English Sole on Instagram. @EnglishSole is always coming through with a ton of great exclusive looks at old samples, and this is yet another example of that. Immediately upon looking at these images, you can see just how lavish this shoe looks. From top to bottom, these look like shoes that are fit for some kind of royalty. Firstly, the entire sneaker is covered in what looks like some liquid gold. Secondly, the shoe has a beige lining to it that extends over to the back heel.
Overall, this look is extremely unique and we’re sure there are some sneakerheads who would love to have these. Unfortunately, that will not be possible as these are never set to be released. However, fans can dream on and hope for a tomorrow that includes these on store shelves. Let us know what you think of these, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.

Drake Calls The-Dream The GOAT After Grammys
Drake just shouted out the iconic songwriter The-Dream for his multiple wins at the 65th Grammy Awards this Sunday (February 5), labeling him a “GOAT.” Moreover, the Atlanta artist won four Grammys through his work on Beyoncé’s smash album, RENAISSANCE. She won Best Dance/Electronic Album, Best Dance/Electronic Recording, Best R&B Song, and Best Traditional R&B Performance. Furthermore, the first three categories went to The-Dream as well, given his work as writer and producer for “BREAK MY SOUL” and “CUFF IT.” After the ceremony, Drake posted a picture of The-Dream to his Instagram story with a simple emoji of a goat.
However, the songwriter’s success also came parallel to Beyoncé’s record-breaking wins. After the Recording Academy handed out awards during their 2023 ceremony, she became the most awarded artist in Grammys history. During her acceptance speech, she graciously thanked her family, supporters, and God for her blessings. Also, she acknowledged the deep roots of RENAISSANCE‘s musical style, particularly its embrace of dance music, specifically house. “I’d like thank the queer community for your love, and for inventing the genre,” she said to loud cheers.
Still, the 6 God’s praise of The-Dream is unsurprising given their collaborations. Although it’s well-deserved, it’s also slightly ironic considering Drizzy’s relationship to the Grammys. Moreover, he won for Best Melodic Rap Performance for his contributions alongside Tems to Future’s “WAIT FOR U.” Ironically, he boycotted the ceremony and still ended up with a win. Regardless, he rose above his personal situation to acknowledge greatness, specifically The-Dream’s longstanding influence and talent.
While Beyoncé led the pack with four wins, the most out of any artist this year, many believe RENAISSANCE deserved better. In a surprising and controversial move, the Recording Academy picked Harry Styles’ Harry’s House for Album of the Year. Not only that, but RENAISSANCE’s big nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year also went unfulfilled. Still, awards mean nothing to either Harry or Beyoncé, who are two incredibly dominant artists regardless of a gramophone. It just stings when so much promotional material and buzz built around RENAISSANCE‘s massive success. Check out the full list of winners here and check back in with HNHH for the latest on The-Dream and the Grammys.
Here’s What To Expect From OVO Sound Artists in 2023
Lil Wayne Helps Launch OVO x NFL Campaign
Drake’s OVO tapped Lil Wayne as the face of the clothing brand’s new NFL collection.
The Canadian brand shared the first look at the OVO x NFL collection, starring Lil Wayne prior to SBLVII. Weezy dons a letterman jacket inspired by his favorite team, the Green Bay Packers. The jacket is decorated with the team’s logo and the OVO emblem. There’s also another photo that includes a Packers-inspired take on the traditional OVO hoodie. The hoodie includes the NFL logo on one arm and the National Football Conference’s symbol on the other.
The OVO/NFL collection will launch later this week on Friday, Feb. 3rd. With the Super Bowl around the corner, items will undoubtedly sell out quickly.
Aside from his recent campaign for OVO, Lil Wayne announced that he’s hitting the road this spring. The rapper shared the dates for the upcoming Welcome To Tha Carter tour, which will bring the Young Money head honcho to 28 cities. The tour kicks off on April 4th in Minneapolis, MN, before he heads to cities like Chicago, Detroit, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Philly.
The tour announcement, of course, fuels speculation surrounding new music. Weezy announced Tha Carter VI during OVO Fest last year before a pre-sale link went live days later. However, he hasn’t provided any extensive updates surrounding the project.
He and DJ Drama also hinted at the release of Dedication 7 in previous years, though neither shared a concrete update recently.
For now, we could atleast hope that Lil Wayne has a new single or two in the cut ahead of his upcoming tour.
Drake Wins $2.1 Million Bet After Kansas City Chiefs Advance To Super Bowl
The 6 God is no stranger to sports bets, and he continues to go big and (sometimes) win big. Drake just won a bet on the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory in the AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Moreover, he won a $2.1 million cash-out after the Chiefs won 23-20, advancing them to Super Bowl LVII on February 12.
Furthermore, the Canadian artist bet over $1.1 million on the Kansas City team via his gambling sportsbook partner Stake. Also, he posted his betting slip on his Instagram story before the two Sunday (January 29) championship games. “@Stake let’s make today the day,” he captioned.
Unfortunately, Drake lost an $850,000 bet on the San Francisco 49ers beating the Philadelphia Eagles in the other championship game. Earlier in the day, the Eagles beat the 49ers 31-7. With odds of 1.87, the “Middle of the Ocean” MC could’ve won up to $1.9 million.
Still, he reposted a tweet from Stake on his Instagram story congratulating his “light work” victory concerning the Chiefs. Meanwhile, maybe Drake will jump ship from Missouri to Pennsylvania for the big game. Also, fans are wondering whether he’ll be in Glendale, Arizona that night to perform with frequent collaborator Rihanna.
Light work for @Drake

However, these aren’t Drizzy’s only big wins with the Chiefs. Previously in October, the 36-year-old put a parlay together with the Buffalo Bills, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Chiefs to win $2 million. Overall, the artist’s gambling skills (or luck) on Stake are well-documented outside of football betting. Back in July, he won $24 million in online roulette as French Montana watched.
“You know what that deserves? A ‘haaan!,’” Drake screamed while livestreaming to celebrating the win. “And I got my special guest in the building, take a seat. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with my brother, my twin, my lookalike Montega.”
Since joining Stake in December of 2021, the OVO boss has wagered over $1 billion so far. Unsurprisingly, his account name is “DeepPockets6.”
Still, what did you think of Drake’s successful bet on the Chiefs moving to the Super Bowl netting him $2.1 million? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, log back into HNHH for the latest on Drake, the Super Bowl, and one of the biggest nights of the year.
