    Charlamagne Tha God Accuses Drake of Cheating After History-Making Billboard Hot 100 Debuts

    by

    Instagram

    Having been known for his hate toward the Canadian star, ‘The Breakfast Club’ host questions if they’re ‘still in a Drake era’ and claims that ‘Aubrey Graham is a demon who doesn’t play fair.’

    Mar 17, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Charlamagne Tha God still refuses to acknowledge Drake’s influence in the hip-hop scene despite his latest feat. Following the Canadian star’s No. 1, 2 and 3 debuts on the Billboard Hot 100, the radio host has accused the “Hotline Bling” of cheating and calling him a “demon.”

    Charlamagne weighed in on Drake’s history-making achievement in the Tuesday, March 16 episode of “The Breakfast Club”. During the “Rumor Report” segment, he shared three thoughts on the 34-year-old’s Billboard Hot 100 record.

    “I have three thoughts. First off, congrats to Drake. That is an incredible feat,” Charlamagne began. “I asked a question a few months ago and the question was simply, ‘are we still in a Drake era?’ When you’re #1, #2, and #3 on the charts, I think that answers your question. When it comes to streaming and radio, he’s still the guy. That top 3 might not reflect what’s happening in the clubs or with a slightly younger demo but he’s still the guy with regards to radio and streaming.” Claiming that Drake pulled a trick to score the top three debuts, Charlamagne argued, “Streaming and radio manipulates the game in ways we’ve never seen but we’ll forget all that.”

    Charlamagne then compared Drake to Jay-Z, Nas and Lil Wayne, who created “classics” later in their career, suggesting that Drizzy now has to live up to the same expectation. “The pressure is really on for Drake right now. Because the three-pack is dope and I like the energy of the three-pack,” he stated. “The pressure is on because with ‘Certified Lover Boy’, I’m expecting an undeniable body of work.”

    The 42-year-old continued, “When I think of the greats like the Hov’s and the Nas’ and the Lil Wayne’s, these guys were giving us classics much later in their career. Whether it’s ‘The Blueprint’, ‘Illmatic’, or ‘Tha Carter III’, I’m expecting that level of project from Drake at this point in his career.”

    Despite congratulating Drake on his feat, Charmalagne wasn’t done criticizing the OVO Sound founder. “He cheated!” the TV personality claimed. “Don’t let the heart cut in his head fool you. Aubrey Graham is a demon who doesn’t play fair. He cheated.”

    When his co-hosts asked where the accusation came from, Charmalagne admitted, “I can’t prove it. This might be pure hate. … I’m not standing on nothing with this.” He insisted though, “I just think he cheated.”

    Drake recently set a new Billboard record by having three songs debuted in the top three spots of the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. “What’s Next”, “Wants and Needs” with Lil Baby and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” featuring Rick Ross, which are all lifted off his fourth and latest “EP Scary Hours 2”, entered the chart at No. 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

    Drake also matches The Beatles and Ariana Grande’s achievements as the only acts ever to rank at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 on the Hot 100 simultaneously. The 34-year-old singer/rapper has eight Hot 100 No. 1 and 45 top 10s so far.

      Jan 28, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Drake is pushing for an Usher/Justin Timberlake face off on Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s Verzuz battle initiative.
      The brains behind the idea have revealed the Canadian star has been in touch, urging Timbaland and Swizz Beatz to recruit the two superstars for an upcoming back catalogue battle.
      “Drake hit me up too about it,” Timbaland tells ESPN. “He said, ‘We gotta make that happen’. I said, ‘Soon to come. Soon to come’.”
      The pair is also working on battles royale between late rap rivals Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G., and Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliott.

      “It is, to me, the best party that could ever happen on Verzuz,” Timbaland said of a Rhymes/Elliott match-up. “It’s just a matter of comfort zone of my sister wanting to celebrate with her brother. Understanding that it’s not a competition, it’s a party. I have been talking to her about that but I think that’s an amazing Verzuz.”

      The producers launched the popular entertainment series that pits producers, songwriters and artists against each other in a rap battle style format on Instagram Live and Apple Music at the beginning of the COVID lockdown last year (20). Competitors take it in turns to play a song from a list of 20 from their discography, as fans, friends and fellow artists watch on. A winner is decided by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz.
      So far, highlight face-offs have included Snoop Dogg and DMX, Alicia Keys and John Legend, Brandy and Monica, and Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle, while Ashanti took on Keyshia Cole in a Verzuz battle on Friday, January 22.

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘In My Feelings’ rapper announces on Instagram Story that his highly-anticipated set ‘Certified Lover Boy’ isn’t coming in January as planned, but assures that it will arrive within this year.

      Jan 21, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Drake’s fans looking forward to his new album may be disappointed to hear new update from the star. On Wednesday, January 20, the rapper announced on Instagram that his upcoming album “Certified Lover Boy” won’t be arriving this month as planned before.
      The “Hotline Bling” hitmaker brought the news of the album release delay on his Instagram Story, explaining that the plan was derailed due to his recent surgery. “I was planning to release my album this month but between surgery and rehab my energy has been dedicated to recovery,” so the 34-year-old wrote.
      Hinting that his recovery process is going well so far, he added, “I’m blessed to be back on my feet feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB won’t be dropping in January.” The OVO Sound co-founder, however, assured fans that he’s working on completing the album within this year. “I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all in 2021,” he shared.

      Not much is known about Drake’s condition, but the Canadian star posted in October 2020 a picture of his bandaged knee while he’s resting in bed. “I actually want to use this post to send love and motivation to anybody else that 2020 let loose on,” so he told his online devotees. “Start writing the best bounce back story now.”
      His rep later confirmed that Drizzy did undergo a knee surgery, though failed to offer up any other information as to how he got injured. Just days prior, he was still able to celebrate his 34th birthday on October 24 with a big party.
      Prior to the album release delay, Drake had teased “Certified Lover Boy” with a promo video showing a young boy looking up into a spotlight shining down on him as a hazy instrumental plays. The promo spot also referred to his previous albums and mixtapes like “So Far Gone” (2009), “Take Care” (2011), “Nothing Was the Same” (2013) and “Dark Lane Demo Tapes” (2020).
      To serve as the sixth studio album of Drake, the album has boasted a single titled “Laugh Now Cry Later” featuring Lil Durk, which was released in August.

      Drake Makes History by Breaking Spotify's 50 Billion Streams Record

      by

      Instagram

      The audio streaming service confirms the ‘God’s Plan’ hitmaker’s feat days after he celebrated the achievement with a post on his Instagram Story timeline.

      Jan 20, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Hip-hop superstar Drake has made music history by becoming the first artist to break the 50 billion streams barrier on Spotify.
      Unconfirmed reports about the rapper’s latest career milestone emerged over the weekend (January 16-17), when Drake himself shared a social media post about the achievement on his Instagram Story timeline and simply added an upside down smiley face, but now Spotify bosses have made the news official, confirming the feat to Variety.
      The new honour shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to fans – Drake has repeatedly dominated end-of-year streaming lists with the popularity of chart smashes like “One Dance”, “Hotline Bling”, and “In My Feelings”, while 2018 single “God’s Plan” boasts more than 1.67 billion hits alone on Spotify.

        See also…

      He also ended the 2010s as the most-streamed artist with 28 billion streams, beating Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Ariana Grande, and Eminem to the title.
      And Drake is only going to improve on his impressive track record when he releases his new album, “Certified Lover Boy”, later this month.
      The Canadian star first hinted that a new album was in the works back in April 2020 as the album was originally set for a release this summer. Drake later announced the album’s title on August 14 of the same year.
      He treated fans to a short teaser last October, which also happened to be his 34th birthday. Additionally, he released “Laugh Now Cry Later” featuring Lil Durk. It marks the first single to be released from this new project.

      Drake Suggests It's Time to Start Something New in the Wake of The Weeknd's 2021 Grammys Snub

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Toosie Slide’ rapper publicly voices his support to the ‘Blinding Lights’ hitmaker shortly after the latter branded the prestigious music awards ‘corrupt’ for failing to give him a single nomination.

      Nov 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Drake has voiced his support for The Weeknd after the latter got snubbed at the 2021 Grammy Awards. Upon learning that the “Blinding Lights” hitmaker did not receive any nominations for the 63rd annual music awards, the “Toosie Slide” rapper suggested it is a “great time for somebody to start something new.”
      The 34-year-old offered his two cents on the drama via Instagram Story on Wednesday, November 25. “I think we should stop allowing ourselves to be shocked every year by the disconnect between impactful music and these awards and just accept that what once was the highest form of recognition may no longer matter to the artists that exist now and the ones that come after,” he began.
      “It’s like a relative you keep expecting to fix up but they just can’t change their ways. The other day I said @TheWeeknd was a lock for either Album or Song of the Year along with reasonable assumptions and it just never goes that way,” the MC continued. “This is a great time for somebody to start something new that we can build up over time and pass on to the generations to come.”

      Drake supported The Weeknd after the latter got snubbed at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

      Drake’s support came after The Weeknd and his latest album “After Hours” failed to land nods at the upcoming Grammys despite it being commercially successful. The Canadian star himself has called out the Recording Academy on Instagram and Twitter for the snub. “The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency,” he declared in the Tuesday, November 24 posts.
      The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen, additionally revealed that he was preparing a performance for the awards show, which had been scheduled a week before his half-time show at the 2021 Super Bowl. He tweeted, “Collaboratively planning a performance for weeks to not being invited? In my opinion zero nominations = you’re not invited!”
      Reacting to The Weeknd’s jab, Recording Academy chief Harvey Mason Jr. insisted that his lack of nominations had nothing to do with his upcoming Super Bowl gig. “We understand that The Weeknd is disappointed at not being nominated,” he said in a statement. “I was surprised and can empathize with what he’s feeling. His music this year was excellent, and his contributions to the music community and broader world are worthy of everyone’s admiration.”
      “We were thrilled when we found out he would be performing at the upcoming Super Bowl and we would have loved to have him also perform on the Grammy stage the weekend before…unfortunately, every year, there are fewer nominations than the number of deserving artists,” he continued. “But as the only peer-voted music award, we will continue to recognize and celebrate excellence in music while shining a light on the many amazing artists that make up our global community.”
      Harvey concluded by stating, “To be clear, voting in all categories ended well before The Weeknd’s performance at the Super Bowl was announced, so in no way could it have affected the nomination process.”
