The dating gossip surrounding Drake and Latto’s sister Brooklyn continues to heat up. A couple of days ago, there were photos and videos floating around on social media of the two possibly leaving a dinner date together. Further speculation occurred after fans started to break down Drake’s verse on 4batz’s remix of “act ii: date @ 8.” He sung, “How you get all of that body and face, though? / What kinda water they servin’ in Clayco? / This is me talkin’, it’s not the añejo / Ready to pop out, but we gotta lay low.”
For those who do not know, Clayco is a reference to Clayton County, Georgia. That just so happens to be the same area where Latto and her sister are associated with. However, most people were quite disgusted with Drake as Brooklyn is 21 where the OVO chief is 37. Because of the fairly wide age gap, fans are starting to compare this to Draya Michele and Houston Rockets player Jalen Green’s relationship.
In The Neighborhood Talk‘s post above, the comments section is littered with people calling both of them predators. One user writes, “Drake’s obsession with younger girls ain’t talked about enough for me. No man in his late 30’s should be after a 20-year-old.” However, there are quite a few supporting this supposed connection. “A lot of older girls are just mad that yall time is gone… and men want the young girls. they want the new new ” Additionally, there are some admittedly hilarious jokes that 21 Savage and Latto are confirmed to be dating all because Drake and him are “besties.” “Drake & 21 savage are besties connect the dots ”
What are your thoughts on Drake possibly dating Latto’s 21-year-old sister Brooklyn and it being compared to Draya Michele’s situation? Is age just a number to you, or is this messed up and why?

Carl Weathers tragically passed away last week at the age of 76. The NFL linebacker turned prolific actor appeared in nearly 100 esteemed on-screen projects, including a wide array of action, comedy, and sci-fi roles. Touching tributes have already begun to pour in from Weathers’ co-stars, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jesse Ventura, Adam Sandler, and more. As we mourn the loss of this once-in-a-lifetime talent, here’s a look into five of Carl Weathers’ greatest movies from his decades-long career.
5. Rocky (1976)
Rocky is the iconic 1976 film that launched the careers of both Carl Weathers and Sylvester Stallone. While each actor had appeared in a handful of smaller roles before Rocky, their front-and-center placement in the franchise-launching film catapulted the stars to A-list status. In the film, Carl Weathers introduces the historic character of Apollo Creed, a figure still referenced in the ongoing Creed spin-off franchise that revolves around the character’s son.
Apollo Creed serves as the main antagonist in the Oscar-winning movie. The cocky and patriotic World Heavyweight Champion is the perfect larger-than-life opponent for the film’s eponymous underdog to face off against for 15 rounds, resulting in one of the greatest boxing movies ever made. While Sylvester Stallone is the obvious breakout star of the film, Rocky could never have been as groundbreaking as it was without the inclusion of Carl Weathers.
1988’s Action Jackson sees Carl Weathers taking front-and-center as the title character. Joel Silver, a film producer, approached Weathers about starring in his own Blaxploitation vehicle, leading to the development of the movie. Apparently, Weathers concocted the story outline and character details while shooting Predator in Mexico, and began production on Action Jackson shortly thereafter.
In the film, Carl Weathers stars as a take-no-prisoners Detroit detective, hell-bent on taking down corruption within the Motor City. Critics panned the film, though audiences loved it, resulting in Action Jackson taking home over $20 million at the box office against a paltry budget of only $8 million. Despite critics giving it poor reviews, enthusiasts widely acclaim the film as a cult classic, actively watching and enjoying it to this day.
3. Predator (1987)
When Predator was released in 1987, it wowed audiences with a who’s who of television tough guys in a massive leading ensemble. Arnold Schwarzenegger led the pack, with Bill Duke, Jesse Ventura, Carl Weathers, and others rounding out the monster-hunting mercenary squad. In the film, Weathers flexes his spectacular physique, rivaling Schwarzenegger’s biceps in peak form during an arm-wrestling scene now commonly used as a meme to depict unity in the face of contrast.
Carl Weathers has perhaps one of the greatest scenes in the film, wherein his character’s arm is amputated by the Predator hunter after he launches a hail of gunfire on the alien. Weathers’ character and the classic scene are even referenced in the 2015 video game Mortal Kombat X, where both the Predator and Weathers’ character Dillon are playable DLC fighters.
2. Happy Gilmore (1996)
Carl Weathers managed to flex his comedic skills in the 1996 movie Happy Gilmore alongside star Adam Sandler. In the film, Weathers appears as Derick “Chubbs” Peterson, a retired professional golfer who can no longer play the sport after losing his hand to a wild alligator. After witnessing the title character’s impressive slap shot, Chubbs offers to become his mentor, teaching him the basics of golf with the repeated mantra “It’s all in the hips.”
Carl Weathers reprised this role in another Adam Sandler movie titled Little Nicky, showcasing just how impactful the character of Chubbs truly was. In Little Nicky, Chubbs plays a new role as a mambo instructor, retaining his iconic phrase, as mambo is also “all in the hips.” While Weathers’ roles were primarily action thrillers and high-intensity dramas, his comedy resume also showcases some of his finest work.
Carl Weathers reprises his role as Apollo Creed in the third installment of the Rocky franchise as a friend and mentor to the titular boxer. Though Creed made a fantastic antagonist in the first two films, his relationship with Rocky Balboa truly begins to shine through in Rocky III, when Rocky seeks the former Heavy Weight Champion’s guidance to take down his biggest and baddest opponent yet. Rocky III ends on the classic image of Rocky and Creed sparring in a friendly one-on-one fight with no cameras or audience, engaging in the ring as brothers, rather than true opponents.
This final friendly brawl was referenced in the first Creed film, with Rocky expressing to Apollo’s son how much admiration he had for his father. In the film, Rocky says that Creed won their final match, though it is left unclear whether this is true. Regardless, the development of the friendship between the iconic fictional boxers serves as the greatest element of any of the Rocky films, headed by Carl Weathers’ exceptional dramatic ability.
When Cardi B responded to the Dalai Lama asking a child to suck his tongue, she probably didn’t expect a fair share of backlash her way. Yet, as she took to her social media to blast the religious leader for his actions, many clapped back and said she was guilty of similarly reprehensible behavior. “This world is full of predators,” Cardi wrote on Twitter. “They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children. Predators could be our neighbors, our school teachers, even people wit money, power & our churches. Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t allow people to do to them.”
However, those strong words weren’t enough for fans who remembered her allegedly drugging men to rob them, bringing about accusations of assault as well. “I’m sorry I just don’t want predator PSA’s from a former/current predator!” one user tweeted. “No matter how you flip twist or turn it!” After seeing the response to her Instagram post, Cardi B fired back at the commenter. “Did I r*pe them? Touch them? Kiss them? Put my hand on their privates? Is taking money from somebody different than touching they bodies without consent? Cause there’s a difference.”
Cardi B Refutes Claims That She’s A Predator
“So I’m seeing on social media that a Live I did 3 years ago has popped back up,” she explained about the controversy back in 2019. “A Live where I talked about things I had to do in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living. I never claim to be perfect or come from a perfect world with a perfect past. I always speak my truth, I always own my s**t. I’m a part of a hip hop culture where you can talk about where you come from talk about the wrong things you had to do to get where you are. I made the choices that I did at the time because I had very limited options. I was blessed to have been able to rise from that, but so many women have not.
“Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive.” Cardi B added the following later that year: “I let people go with this narrative of me for a long time. Not once did I say I put s**t inside n***as drinks. I NEVER did that. These n***as use to get drunk, smoke maa weed party an hard and passed out. Never did I force n***as to come with me nowhere. Never did I f**k nobody. These Men used to disgust me sooo for the fact people keep calling me a r*pist when I didn’t even kiss these men it’s so crazy to me.” Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.
