Drake has submitted his collaborative album with 21 Savage, ‘Her Loss’, for Grammy consideration after withholding his previous two records.The Canadian artist, who has won five Grammy Awards in total, has missed the annual ceremony in recent years and criticised the Recording Academy’s nomination process.In 2021, Drake withdrew his music from consideration after being nominated in two categories for the 2022 Grammys: Best Rap Album (‘Certified Lover Boy’) and Best Rap Performance (‘Way 2 Sexy’ feat. Future and Young Thug).He then decided not to submit his next solo album ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ or any of its singles for this year’s Grammys.Now, as reported by Pitchfork, Drake has seemingly ended his boycott of the awards show by submitting ‘Her Loss’ for consideration at the 2024 Grammys.

Drake has hit back at those who threw his platonic relationship with Millie Bobby Brown into question over recent years, labelling them as “weirdos”.The 36-year-old called out those who have had lingering questions about his friendship with the Stranger Things and Enola Holmes actor with the lyrics to his new track ‘Another Late Night’.Taken from his new album ‘For All The Dogs’ and starring Lil Yachty, Drake doesn’t hold back when it comes to shedding light on the friendship between the two.“My bank account is magnolia / Milly rockin’ /Weirdos in my comments talkin’ ’bout some Millie Bobby, look,” he raps in the track. “Bring them jokes up to the gang, we get to really flockin’ / Or send a finger to your mama in some FedEx boxes / Open up that shit, it’s jaw droppin’ / really shockin’ / I ain’t pretty flacko, bitch, this shit get really rocky.”The criticism of their friendship started back in 2017, when Brown met the Canadian musician before he performed in Brisbane, Australia as part of his Boy Meets World tour.Hanging out backstage, they each posted their own Instagram photos from the meet-and-greet, which saw the then-14-year-old actor and the then-31-year-old rapper stand side by side recreating Eleven’s signature power move – hand out, fingers outstretched.The following year, the friendship led to further critique when the teenage actor told the media that they communicate frequently by text, and that she saw him as a “great role model” who gave her relationship advice.“We just texted each other the other day, and he was like, ‘I miss you so much,’ and I was like, ‘I miss you more,’” she said on the 2018 Emmys red carpet.

21 Savage made his first live performance outside the US by joining Drake on stage in Toronto this weekend.The Canadian performance at the Scotiabank Arena on Saturday (October 7) came after 21 Savage was declared a ‘lawful permanent resident’ of the US, meaning he will be able to finally visit his birth nation of England.A four-year legal battle was sparked in 2019 when the rapper (real name Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph) was arrested for immigrating to the US and overstaying his visa.The rapper had previously been unable to tour outside of the US, including the Canadian leg of Drake‘s ‘It’s All A Blur’ tour.A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi)On Saturday, a man who declared that he was at the concert on behalf of “his majesty, Charles III”, announced: “To who it may concern, Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, known officially as 21 Savage, is now cleared to travel up north and perform for his beloved fans.”“He has chosen Toronto as his first destination.

Drake has hit back at Joe Budden for criticising his new album ‘For All The Dogs’ in a lengthy Instagram comment.On a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the retired rapper and broadcaster took issue with Drake collaborating with 21-year-old Twitch streamer, Kai Cenat – you can find a video of the moment below.“He rappin’ for the children.

Pet Shop Boys have claimed that Drake used a sample of their hit ‘West End Girls’ without their knowledge or permission.Yesterday (October 6), Drake released his eighth studio album ‘For All The Dogs‘. On a track titled ‘All The Parties’, the Canadian rapper sings: “East End boy and West End girls.” The lyrics and melody mirror the Pet Shop Boys’ own song, in which they sing: “In a West End town, a dead end world/ The East End boys and West End girls.”The London duo took to Twitter the same day, writing: “Surprising to hear @Drake singing the chorus of “West End Girls” in the track “All the Parties” on his new album.

not the way to take care of Rihanna.After Drake was long rumored to have an on-again, off-again relationship with Rihanna while the two superstars cozied on up the charts together for some iconic collabs — from 2010’s “What’s My Name?” and 2016’s “Work” to, most memorably (for this critic), 2011’s “Take Care” — Drizzy certain seems to be in his salty feelings on his new album “For All the Dogs.”Dropping at 6 a.m. Friday morning instead of the usual midnight (Note to Drake: Please don’t go all Kanye on us with this last-minute release shuffling), the 23-track, 85-minute epic — which would have been a damn triple LP back in the day — appears to address Ri-Ri on the already-viral cut “Fear of Heights.”And when we say “appears,” well, the trolling track packs all of the subtlety of his recent barretted-up hair-don’t that had him looking like Tempest Bleddsoe aka Vanessa Huxtable from “The Cosby Show.”Over a spooky groove to set it off, Drake — who was rumored to not be having it when Rihanna boo’d and then baby’d up with A$AP Rocky — sure sounds like a bitter ex when he opens with, “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you?/That could never be/Gyal can’t be me/Better him than me/Better it’s not me.”The way that “gyal” appropriates Caribbean slang for “girl” leaves little doubt that he’s talking about the Barbadian beauty.
