Drake’s Label Sparks Album Speculation On Twitter

Is this the month that we finally receive Drake’s new album Certified Lover Boy?

The follow-up to this year’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes has been teased at length by Drake and his associates. The artist has been sending his Nike-branded album merch to anybody who’s anybody and, from the looks of it, Certified Lover Boy could finally be dropping this month.

While we’re waiting on confirmation from the artist himself, two of his record labels have just come through with massive hints that it could be a big month for the superstar. In addition to his new features on 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s album, as well as his contribution to Bryson Tiller’s new project, Republic Records and Universal Music Group seem to be teasing something in store for Drake this month.

The founder of October’s Very Own, it would make total sense for Drake to release an album this month, possibly on his birthday. With October 24 still a few weeks away, Republic and UMG have started to tease a takeover from Drizzy Drake before Halloween, both sharing cryptic posts about him possibly releasing this month. 

“Waking up on #October1st like,” wrote Republic, sharing a GIF of Drake slowly rising from a pool of water. UMG also shared a picture of the artist, writing the caption, “OCTOBER’S VERY OWN”.

While they’re not outwardly saying anything of note, it can’t just be coincidental that both of Drake’s backing labels had something to say once October began.

Do you think Drake is dropping this month?

DJ Akademiks Resurrects 2015 Drake vs. Meek Mill Beef With Alleged Nicki Minaj Backstory

DJ Akademiks is digging up hip-hop history buried for 10 years as he offers his supposed explanation for how the Drake/Meek Mill feud came to a head in 2015. The back-and-forth between Akademiks and Meek Mill has resurfaced the conversation. Akademiks returned to the long-running Drake-Meek beef on his stream last night, saying a comment by Nicki Minaj had something to do with what happened between the two rappers.

According to Akademiks, Meek and Minaj were shopping at a designer fashion store when they got to the register. He says that when Meek told her he didn’t have the cash to pay for Minaj, she allegedly told him he would never be Drake. Akademiks also claims Minaj left the store on her own, and then Meek went on X, and what happened next started the infamous feud with Drake.

The account remains an allegation, not a confirmed explanation. The information provided has not been independently verified, and ultimately only those involved, including Minaj and Meek Mill, could confirm the story’s authenticity.

The beef between Drake and Meek Mill started in 2015 and has become a staple in hip-hop conversation. Meek struggled after the fallout, while the beef became a defining moment in Drake’s career. However, the two eventually made up and collaborated on “Going Bad,” signaling a return to a more cooperative relationship despite the rivalry’s tension.

Now that Akademiks and Meek are throwing shots again, the events of 2015 are back in the conversation. By reflecting on the feud, Akademiks has added another possible piece of context to a story that has been a hot topic in hip-hop for years.

Whether his version of events is what actually happened, however, remains unresolved. Currently, the designer-store story isn’t factual, but it is Akademiks’ version of the events surrounding the beef.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream

Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.

The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.

The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.

Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.
