Drake’s Mom Was Caught Sending The Sweetest Text During A Recent ‘It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?’ Concert
On Monday, February 26, Drake generated (deserved) criticism by posting a since-expired Instagram Story advocating for Tory Lanez, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence after being found guilty on three felony counts in connection to shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in July 2020. Drake’s Instagram activity the following day was more endearing — at least to the two-plus-million people who liked it.
Drake posted two Instagram photos of his mother, Sandra “Sandi” Graham, presumably at a recent stop on his ongoing It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? with J. Cole. The first photo shows Sandi beaming (and rocking a tie-dyed OVO hoodie) while holding her iPhone. The next slide is a zoomed-in photo of her phone open to a text she wrote, which reads, “I always cry when I come to his concerts… I’m so proud of him.” Drake captioned the post, “Posting this as a forever core memory.” (It’s extremely important to note that Sandi uses enlarged text like a true mom.)
From the moment he became a well-known rapper, Drake has publicized his devotion to his mother. Last July, during one of three shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden during his initial It’s All A Blur Tour with 21 Savage, he emotionally rapped “Look What You’ve Done” to his mom while she sat beside him on stage.

Drake Shared Some Touching Words In Honor Of Two Fans Who Died While Leaving His St. Louis Concert
Drake and J. Cole spent Wednesday, February 28, at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York for the second of back-to-back shows for their co-headlining It’s All A Blur Tour – Big As the What? However, a part of Drake is still in St. Louis, Missouri, where two fans were struck by a car and killed while leaving a Big As The What? concert on February 13. The victims were mother and daughter, 42-year-old Laticha Bracero and 21-year-old Alyssa Cordova.
Per XXL Magazine, Drake paused Wednesday’s show in Buffalo to deliver a broader message about gratitude in the victims’ honor.
“You never know what somebody else’s reality will be when they walk out of this building,” Drake told the audience in XXL‘s fan-taken video. “So, for this moment that all of us are together — all 18,000 people — what I want to do [is] I want you to turn to somebody that you do not know. Not somebody that you came with. I want you to turn to somebody that you do not know, I want you to look them in the eyes, and I want you to prove that you’re grateful for your life. I want you to take five seconds out of your day to make somebody else’s day. Just show them some love because you never know what comes next. Just some f*ckin’ love tonight in Buffalo, New York.”
Drake continued, “I think one of the most important things in life is the idea that you have two choices. You can either wake up every day, and you can be a piece of sh*t, or you can wake up every day and be a decent person, so I appreciate y’all being good for [inaudible]. Rest in peace to that young mother and her child.”

According to KTVI FOX 2 in St. Louis, the alleged driver has been identified as 22-year-old Monte Henderson, who has been out on bond and subsequently “ordered to undergo house arrest and wear a GPS ankle monitor.”
The local news outlet also reported the alleged sequence of events, as excerpted below.
“Henderson was charged with two counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter and two counts of armed criminal action in the deaths of Laticha Bracero, 42, and Alyssa Cordova, 21.
The crash happened around 12:30 a.m. on February 14 at North 18th and Olive streets, near city police headquarters, in Downtown West as Bracero and Cordova were leaving a Drake concert.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s probable cause statement claims that Henderson was speeding in excess of 70 miles per hour in a 2020 Jeep Cherokee, driving eastbound on Olive Street. At some point, Henderson allegedly blew through a red light and sideswiped the front end of a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander, which was traveling north on 18th Street. The Cherokee spun out and struck Bracero and Cordova, who were using the crosswalk on Olive.”
How Many Times Have Ray J & Princess Love Announced They Were Divorcing?
From their initial whirlwind romance to the highs of marriage and family, Ray J and Princess Love’s journey has been anything but conventional. For a few years now, the pair’s relationship has been a tumultuous rollercoaster. Their love story, played out in the public eye, has been an enthralling narrative of passion and drama. However, over the course of their marriage, the couple has announced their plan to divorce a surprising number of times. Following a new divorce announcement, the spotlight once again shines brightly on their union. While some onlookers wonder if they will actually go through with it this time, others believe it’s all just a PR stunt. It remains to be seen what direction things will go in this time. In the meantime, here’s a look at all the times Ray J and Princess Love have filed for divorce.
May 2020
Ray J and Princess Love married in August 2016 and welcomed their first child, Melody Love, in May 2018. Subsequently, their second child, Epik Ray, followed in January 2020. Unfortunately, Epik Ray arrived when things were shaky between his parents. Only four months after his birth, Princess Love filed for divorce from Ray J. Admittedly, in November 2019, the Love & Hip Hop star claimed that she would be filing for divorce. This was after Ray J allegedly left her and their daughter stranded in Las Vegas. However, most fans didn’t think she would actually go through with it, and the news took them by surprise in May 2020. Fans of the couple didn’t have to worry, however, as Princess Love later filed a request for dismissal on July 6, 2020.
September 2020
After Princess Love requested dismissal, the couple got back on track, or so we thought. While fans believed they had reconciled, Ray J completely shocked everyone when he filed for divorce in September 2020. This was just two months after Love’s request for dismissal, and it’s the last thing anyone expected. According to The Blast’s report, the singer asked for joint custody of his two children with Love, and things were looking quite real. However, he later called off the divorce in March 2021. Following this news, fans heaved another sigh of relief because the couple’s marriage had survived once again. However, unknown to the masses, there was more to come.
October 2021
In October 2021, another divorce announcement from Ray J dropped, and TMZ first reported it. They noted that, according to the legal documents, Ray J cited irreconcilable differences as the reason he filed for divorce. At this point, even onlookers were exhausted by the back-and-forth divorce drama between the two. Many expressed that they wished the couple would make up their minds and stick to a decision. However, that decision was not the fans’ call to make, and they waited to see how things would play out. Subsequently, the “Sexy Can I” singer reconciled with Princess Love and filed a request for dismissal. The dismissal was granted to him on March 1, 2023.
February 2024

On February 26, 2024, Princess Love shared a statement on her Instagram account, announcing her divorce, again, from Ray J. “It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our decision to divorce. After much reflection, discussion, and counseling, we have come to the difficult realization that our paths have diverged, and it is in the best interest of both of us to part ways,” Love wrote. This is the fourth time either of the two would be announcing a divorce, and it seems like it might be real this time. However, with Princess Love and Ray J, one can never really be sure.
