When you listen to Drake's music, you will notice that he tends to play into the idea that he doesn't have any real friends. Overall, his new song "What Did I Miss?" is a perfect example of that. Throughout the song, he opined about how the people around him left him for dead during the Kendrick Lamar beef. LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan being the best examples.
However, Drizzy does, in fact, still have some loyal friends out there. One such person is his business partner, Adin Ross. The streamer is embedded with Kick and Stake, two platforms that are paying Drake a whole lot of money.
Whatever the case may be, when Adin Ross calls, Drake picks up the phone. They have done streams together, and Drizzy doesn't mind promoting Ross when the opportunity presents itself.
Having said that, the Adin Ross orbit contains numerous Drake fans. One of those fans is none other than infamous internet personality, Charleston White. Ross had White on a stream recently, and used the opportunity to get Drizzy on a FaceTime call with the controversial creator.
In the clip below, you can see the unlikely pair chopping it up, with White delivering some compliments along the way. Some of these compliments are NSFW, so we will let you watch for yourself.
All of this comes in the midst of the Canadian Megastar's rollout for the new album Iceman, which is set to be released later this year, at least we think. His first livestream for the album turned out to be a success, and fans are most certainly intrigued with whatever is coming next.
The concept behind the album is a unique one, and for some, this could be the comeback album Drake needs. While $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U was a valient R&B effort, this new project could be his official rap return to form.
Only time will tell whether or not the artist lives up to the expectations.

There is no question that Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out made a serious impact and continues to hold weight. The project showed that hip hop is not limited by age and proved that a long-awaited return can still land in a major way regardless of the time away.
If you need a reminder, the Virginia duo’s fourth studio album debuted comfortably within the top five of the Hot 200. It secured the number four position and moved an impressive 118,000 units in its first week.
On top of that, it picked up a win at this year’s Grammys, earning Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips.” The album also received four additional nominations, including Best Music Video, Rap Album, and Album of the Year.
It is hard to believe the project will officially hit its one year mark this summer on July 11. Even so, Pusha T is making it clear that both supporters and critics should not be overlooking it anytime soon.
While performing at Coachella yesterday, King Push told the crowd that LGSEO still sits at the top, regardless of genre.
He said, “‘Let God Sort Em Out’ is still the album of the motherfckin year. Whole new year, still album of the year,” per Kurrco. “Album of the motherfcking year until we drop again. We don't care who dropping. It don't matter.”
That is a strong statement for obvious reasons, especially considering the recent claims surrounding Push himself.
Over the same weekend, hip hop social media lit up after several alleged reference tracks connected to Quentin Miller and Push began circulating. Three tracks surfaced in total, but one that drew the most attention was an alleged record titled “Real Gon’ Come.” It is said to come from the DAYTONA era, around 2017 to 2018.
The situation gained traction because fans remember the past tension between Drake and Pusha T before Drake’s clash with Kendrick Lamar. During that feud, Pusha accused Drake of using ghostwriters on tracks like “Infrared,” which appears on DAYTONA. On that song, he raps, “The bigger question is how the Russians did it /
It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin.”
Reactions have been mixed. Some people argue it is not a major issue since Miller’s alleged contributions were limited to hooks. Others point out that the songs were never officially released, so they see no real problem. Meanwhile, critics view it as clear hypocrisy on Pusha T’s part, a perspective that DJ Akademiks has also supported.
