Drake Hilariously Claps Back at Jess Hilarious Over Her “$$$4U” Take
Drake is no stranger to criticism, especially from the popular radio show, The Breakfast Club, which seems to have a tradition of taking shots at him. His latest album, titled $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, a collaboration with artist PARTYNEXTDOOR, did not escape their scrutiny. Charlamagne tha God, one of the show’s hosts, quickly expressed his disapproval, labeling the album “AI and B” and questioning its authenticity. Meanwhile, co-host Jess Hilarious caught Drake’s attention with her more casual criticism.
Jess admitted she hadn’t listened to the album simply because she was busy celebrating her birthday. Interestingly, this comment did not go unnoticed by Drake. He decided to take a playful jab at her on his fun Instagram account, often used for lighthearted posts. A few days after her dismissal, he shared a funny post that poked at her initial reaction and reminded everyone of his album. This moment was classic Drake, witty and self-aware, showing he knows how to turn criticism into something entertaining. Fans loved the back and forth, which proved his skill in keeping the spotlight on himself, even when facing criticism.
On a broader note, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U has sparked mixed reactions. While some listeners agree with Charlamagne’s critique about the album feeling lifeless and lacking PARTYNEXTDOOR’s input, others see it as another smooth addition to Drake’s varied music collection. No matter what people think, Drake has a skill for keeping conversations lively with his music and playful social media antics. For Jess Hilarious, this experience highlights how even the smallest comments about Drake can lead to a response from him. And for fans, it’s just another example of how Drake stays relevant.

BuYufu turns the symptoms of love into a soul-filled dance with “Side Effects May Include”
In “Side Effects May Include,” BuYufu has made the irrational symptoms of hopelessly falling in love playful and highly musical. Love’s a hell of a drug, and it has some weird side effects. Missed calls, dancing on the spot, and acting completely out of character. It’s a simple idea, but the track really brings it to life.
It’s written as a song for a 70s soul club performance, influenced by crossover soul, northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul. Horns, strings, shuffle guitar, Latin percussion, Hammond organ, and an active drum break surround the song’s central feeling. The arrangement keeps the song feeling lively, but the vintage influence is very clear.
“Side Effects May Include,” has subtle callbacks for those who have been following the project. This connection gives the song a sense of finality. It’s warm, raw, and deliberately human in its subject matter, capturing the odd thrill of love while showing how an old-school soul feeling can still speak naturally to the present.
