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.
Metallica bassist Jason Newsted says he is now “free and clear” after facing throat cancer.
The 63 year old musician, who played with the Enter Sandman legends from 1986 through 2001, has shared details of his diagnosis publicly for the first time. He explained that doctors discovered it early, and on May 8, 2025 he “underwent a procedure” to treat the condition.
Speaking on the Let There Be Talk podcast, he said: “They took a bunch of s*** outta here and then they went in with lasers this way and took a bunch of s*** out.
“So the cavern inside my head is different than it was, but we got it early. And I got my ‘free and clear’ about three weeks ago. So I beat it.”
Jason contributed to several of Metallica’s most iconic releases, including 1988’s ...And Justice For All, their self titled 1991 album, 1996’s Load, the 1997 follow up Reload, and 1998’s Garage Inc.
After going through his cancer experience, the bassist made a point to slow down and actually give himself time to recover instead of constantly pushing forward.
He explained: “I promised myself I was going to rest, and that was the first time I’ve done that in my life.
"I’m usually just on or off. And so I promised myself I was gonna take the gravity off and lay down for the right amount of hours."
The health scare also led Jason to give up smoking weed and drinking alcohol, something he admits he likely would not have done otherwise.
He added: “The great spirit got my attention and said, ‘That’s not good right now, man.’ And so it pulled me off it.
"And so now I’m more clear-headed than I’ve been in my entire adult life. And so there’s blessings within everything. The lemonade I’m making this summer, bro — mm. Sweet. Ooh.”
Jason has previously said that his unexpected departure ultimately helped Metallica continue moving forward, while James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich later admitted they struggled to process his decision at the time.
Lars told Apple Music in 2021: “Jason is the only member of Metallica who has ever left willingly. And that in itself is a statistic.
"And the resentment from James and I was just so… 'You can’t do that. You can only leave if we want you to leave'.
"And then we weren’t equipped at the time to do a deep dive into why he was leaving. So of course, now you can see 20 years later, it makes complete sense.”
