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.
Reneé Rapp is seen as a “huge inspiration” by SZA.
The 25-year-old artist performed SZA’s Good Days in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, accompanied by two acoustic guitarists and a harp player. SZA, 35, was deeply moved by the rendition.
She posted a short video of the moment on Instagram Stories and wrote: “Renee is a HUGE inspiration, energy, voice spirit.”
During her chat with the BBC, Renee shared her thoughts about the track. She said: “I mean, I love SZA. I mean, she was one of my favorite artists in high school. And she's remained one of my favorite artists to this day. I think she's amazing. She's also, I mean, she's an incredible songwriter, but I think because she has so much swag. People don't realize how good of a singer she is. She's a fantastic vocalist and is really, really, really articulate. And I don't cover a lot of songs anymore. So I wanted to cover something that was, like, slightly challenging and also really vocally impressive, and frankly, hard for me to do.”
Renee is currently in the middle of promoting her second album, Bite Me, and opened up about how much more enjoyable it was to create compared to her first project.
She explained: “I mean, I feel like everything was incredibly different. I stopped listening to people that don't make music, because if you don't make music, then why the hell am I listening to you. And I also think the biggest difference, I think I just got a lot better. I think I have just become a better songwriter. I think I understand how to make pop music now in a way that I didn't really before. And I was very sure about what this album was and thematically, what it needed.
“So I felt like I was quite like, headstrong in like, what was gonna work and what wasn't. Because, nobody knows something better than yourself. I think a lot of things were different. I also just, like, had a lot of fun making it, like, I made it with like, three people, mostly, like, it was always like, four of us in the studio all the time, and we got so close, and some of us were already so close. So it was also just like a mess. It was such a mess, like we were just tweaking every day. It was so fun. And I don't think I enjoyed making the first one as much.”
