21 Savage Clarifies Calling Future Bigger Than Drake
Savage hit up his Twitter page to keep things a buck. Instead of come up with excuses or add fuel to the fire, 21 cleared up how his recent comments were misinterpreted.
“Na I said some people that come from where I come from do..because when I was younger I was disconnected from mainstream music I didn’t know what Spotify was until I was a rapper…all we knew was mixtapes”

Drake Blesses Future W/ Richard Millie Watch
The OVO Sound boss is living life with Future like throwback versions of JD and JAY-Z with money still not being a thing in 2021. The hip-hop superstar recently came through for his longtime friend and collaborator with an expensive-looking Richard Millie watch.

Drake Shares What He’s Been Up To Since Dropping ‘CLB’
The Toronto rapper keeps staying busy after dropping CLB. He recently went online to show off a video of what he's been up to since blessing up fans with new audio.
Drizzy posted a video of himself clocking in major grind time with a boxing trainer. The 6 God showed off his quick hands and some hard-hitting punches, clearly grinding hard since his massive Certified Lover Boy release.
Lil Durk Gives Drake Rap’s Ultimate Title
Chicago rapper Lil Durk is revealing who he thinks is actually the greatest ever, but he’s probably not talking about the sport of boxing. A few weeks ago, he went to his Instagram Story to give Drake credit and give him rap’s ultimate crown.
Durkio said Drizzy was the legit GOAT – no cap. He shared a Billboard post with his Story that showed the Hot 100’s top 10 being dominated by Drake, with nine of the songs under his name.
“THE REAL GOAT NOT NO CAP GOAT A REAL ONE @CHAMPAGNEPAPI”

“30 days of meat, nothing fried, no pasta, no bread. Only fish/shrimp, veggies, brown rice, fruit and water. PRAY FOR ME.”

Rihanna Follows JAY-Z’s Vegan Blueprint
Earlier in the year, R&B superstar Rihanna made a major business move in the vegan industry. The Barbados native has reportedly taken a page from JAY-Z's book and further invested in a growing Black-owned company.
Vegan food brand Partake has raised almost $5 million from donors. This is Rihanna’s first investment that isn’t a personal venture, and it seems she’s done it by pitching some major funds to the company. Many other big stars have invested in the company as well, including Hov.
The allergy-friendly food brand closed a $4.8 million series A funding round in late December, led by investors including Rihanna (her first investment beyond personal ventures), Kevin Johnson’s Black Capital, Seattle Seahawks’ Bobby Wagner, Black Star Fund, Once Upon a Farm CEO John Foraker, CircleUp Growth Partners, FF2032 and Marcy Venture Partners. More than 50% of Partake Foods’ total $7.5 million in funding has come from Black investors such as Jay-Z’s VC fund, Marcy Venture Partners, and Grammy Award-winning singer H.E.R. (Forbes)
NLE Choppa Is Living A Healthy Lifestyle Too
Rap newcomer NLE Choppa isn't thinking twice about trying a vegan option at a local fast food spot. The hip-hop star has singled out some of the biggest spots ranging from McDonald's to Taco Bell over the iconic brands' determination to offer vegan options for customers.
Choppa went to his social media pages and didn’t mince words. The hip-hop heavyweight shunned the fast food places for trying to dig into vegan consumers’ pockets and encouraged those types of customers to seek out alternative options.
“McDonalds, Burger King, And Taco Bell Yall foul for trying to make vegan food. Do not eat that sh*t find a great vegan spot near you, not a commercial fast food place, or get groceries and cook it yourself, also grow your own food to cook. Love y’all 💜” -NLE Choppa’s Twitter
Summer Walker’s Vegan PSA
In summer 2018, R&B crooner Summer Walker admitted she had dealt with an uphill battle going vegan. She made a desperate plea on social media in an effort to resist going back to the opposite of plant-based food.
“PSA. I need a vegan chef who is like literally amazing in LA and I need them to come save me and rescue me because I’m about to give up on my vegan journey. It’s nasty as h*ll, it’s disgusting, it’s miserable. I don’t know who lied to y’all and said it’s good because it’s not. And if somebody doesn’t give me a vegan meal that is properly seasoned and tastes delicious, I’m just gonna be a fat, chicken-eating, grease-slurping – I don’t want, we don’t need to talk about it, I don’t want to go there. Somebody please tag them. LA vegan chef. Please Lord, help me, save me.”

OVO Sound boss Drake might be a Certified Lover Boy but he’s not the top global artist in the game right now. His on-again, off-again mentor and idol Kanye West is holding it down with the crown as the top Global Digital Artist at the moment.
Kanye West Is No. 1 - Sorry Drake
According to reports, the artist formerly known as Kanye West - simply going by ‘Ye’ these days - is the top global artist in the digital sphere. We’re not just talking hip-hop, this includes all genres.
Drake Is Still Selling Big
But don’t feel too bad for Drake. He still manages to secure a Top 5 spot in the rundown - notably the No. 4 position in-between Ed Sheeran and Doja Cat. What’s even more exciting is just how well his Certified Lover Boy album is performing.
After moving an astronomical 633K in its first week, it looks like Drake's sixth studio album will remain at the top of the chart for a second week in a row. According to HitsDailyDouble, Drake's Certified Lover Boy has sold another 233K in its second week which pushes the albums streaming numbers towards one billion across all DSPs. (HNHH)
Kanye West Drops Nearly $60 Million On Dream Home
Whether it’s topping the Global Artist list or competing to have the top album in the country, Ye is living the G.O.O.D life to say the least. New reports claim he’s dropped $57.25 million on an epic-looking Malibu, California dream home.
And although the 3,665-square-foot, concrete-heavy house is designed by award-winning starchitect Tadao Ando, it wasn’t impressing the social media masses when Dirt.com broke the news Sunday night. “Kanye living in a parking garage,” one wrote on Zillow Gone Wild’s Instagram page Monday morning. “He loves the abandoned clinic look,” wrote another commenter, while a third added, “Looks like a high-end bunker for a cult leader.” (New York Post)
Think Kanye West is winning no matter what the numbers say? Could Drake take Ye’s spot at No. 1 on the Global Artist list? Tell us what you think in the comments!
