Drake Joins Tristan Thompson & The Kardashians In Toronto For NBA Star’s Mom’s Funeral

by

2023 is beginning on a sombre note for Tristan Thompson. Just a few days into January, the Canadian athlete’s mother, Andrea, went into cardiac arrest in Toronto. She was rushed to the hospital, but doctors ultimately failed to revive her.

Her son flew back to his hometown as soon as possible with co-parent Khloé Kardashian joining him. Their second child together recently came via surrogate, though TMZ notes that they’re not romantic with each other at this time. Rather, the reality starlet has been acting as a support system for her ex.

Photos of Thompson and his baby mama heading to the 6ix made rounds on January 6, but since then, it’s been relatively quiet on their front. Likely due to mourning, as well as planning this weekend’s star-studded funeral.

On Saturday (January 14), several celebrity friends flocked to Toronto to support the NBA player in his time of need. Paparazzi photos show Tristan in his all-black funeral attire outside, many of his loved ones – including Drake – surrounding him.

The two Canadians have developed a special bond over the years, with Thompson appearing in one of Drizzy’s Honestly, Nevermind music videos last summer.

For his part, Champagne Papi also donned a black outfit, seemingly layering up to beat the cool winter weather. Kim Kardashian was also in attendance, alongside her little sister Khloé, and a figure who’s believed to be Kylie Jenner.

TMZ notes that family matriarch Kris Jenner came to the funeral as well, though she wasn’t seen in the snapshots. In the wake of Andrea’s passing, the KUWTK alum posted a sincere tribute to her fellow grandparent on Instagram.

“You were the most amazing, dedicated, devoted, and selfless mom and such a loving, kind, and fabulous grandmother,” the famous momager wrote in her caption.

“What a blessing you were to your family!!! I will miss you Andrea. I will miss your bright spirit and amazing light. Thank you for always praying for us and lifting us up and encouraging us along the way. Rest in peace beautiful angel.”

PartyNextDoor, Majid Jordan, And Other OVO Signees’ Albums Disappear From Streaming

by

Something’s going on at OVO Sound. Albums from PartyNextDoor, Majid Jordan, dvsn, and Roy Woods vanished from streaming services this week for no known reason as of yet. When fans noticed, they flooded social media sites like Twitter with questions and concerns over the missing projects.

Another artist affected by this sudden pull was dvsn, although their projects are available on streaming as of writing this article. However, their album A Muse In Her Feelings isn’t available, so there’s some odd inconsistency. Meanwhile, PartyNextDoor’s output is almost completely gone, including his albums PartyNextDoor 2 and 3. Similarly, all of Majid Jordan’s albums disappeared as well. While he’s a more underrated name, Roy Woods also lost his discography on streaming to fans’ dismay.

Furthermore, the common thread tying these artists together is their label: OVO Sound. Drake signed all artists some years ago, and while Party and Roy Woods haven’t dropped in a while, dvsn just released Working On My Karma this year. Also, Majid Jordan dropped Wildest Dreams last year.

As such, many fans are furious at the disappearance, blaming either the streaming services, the label, or Drizzy himself. Maybe a new OVO-exclusive streaming service? While it’s unclear what’s exactly happening with these albums, the label connection warrants an explanation. Some even directed blame at the artists themselves.

“PARTYNEXTDOOR just removed PND. PND2 and PND3 from all platforms….” one user tweeted. “@partynextdoor you better goddamn EXPLAIN YOURSELF BECAUSE WHY?!!” While his albums are gone, features like Diddy’s recent “Sex In The Porsche” are still available.

Another fan tweeted, “@AppleMusic ya’ll have 24 hrs to put them partynextdoor albums back up or i will be making some phone calls.” Of all the reactions, anger at the services has been the most common. “PUT PARTYNEXTDOOR BACK ON APPLE MUSIC OR IM AIRING APPLE HEADQUARTERS OUT,” another user wrote.

However, many raised eyebrows at OVO. “So there’s no PARTYNEXTDOOR, Majid Jordan or DVSN on Apple Music,” a user tweeted. “But every other artist completely fine. did OVO pull the plug on them or what??”

What do you think happened with these OVO discographies on streaming? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates on this mystery.
