It seems Drake and his team have some explaining to do. Halle Berry claims that he did not receive permission to use her image for the “Slime You Out” cover art.
As spotted on Blavity Champagne Papi has left the actress very disappointed with the launch of his latest musical offering. Last week he announced his newest single featuring SZA via Instagram. The creative features the Oscar winning actress getting green slime being dumped on her at the 2012 Kid’s Choice Awards. Two days later Halle took to her Instagram with a post that seemingly was directed at Drake; it read “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy…even if you’re a woman!”
Naturally, the post prompted her fans to ask if this post was directed at the “Started From The Bottom” rapper to which she responded “Hence my post today. When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on !” Halle Berry went on to add that Drake’s people did reach out and but she respectfully declined. “He did have his people call my people call my people and I said NO. I didn’t like that image of slime all over my face in association with his song. And he chose to do it anyway ! You see…that is the disrespect. Not cool !”
“Slime You Out” is the first single to his forthcoming album For All The Dogs. The new LP is now slated for an October 6 release date. Drake has yet to respond to Halle’s claims.

For All The Dogs, the upcoming eighth solo studio album from Drake was slated to be released late last month but was held back for reasons unknown to the public. Now, the Canadian superstar has revealed the release date for the highly anticipated project, doing so by sharing an older performance video of his father.
For All The Dogs was thought to be released on August 25 but when the day came and went without the album on DSPs, some fans felt duped. Typically, when Drake teases a project using his massive social media reach, music of some sort typically follows. As it stands, the OVO Sound honcho decided to hold the project back, perhaps due to tweaks, sample clearances, features, and a variety of other possibilities.
Using an old performance video of his father, Dennis Graham, the caption of the video reads, “FOR ALL THE DOGS SEPTEMBER 22” as Graham takes the stage for the Stormy Monday With Danny Marks show, a CBC network program that ran in the 1980s. In the clip, it appears that Graham, a musician from Memphis, Tenn., and Marks were good friends with one another as Marks referred to Graham as his cousin.
Graham showed off some impressive Blues vocals in the clip, connecting the closeness that Drake shares with his father and highlighting his musical lineage.
For All The Dogs will be released on September 22.

Drake has been having a ball on his It’s All A Blur tour given the fact that droves of women have been tossing bras onstage, with some of the women and their sizes going viral. The “Tiddy Whisperer” himself showed off the huge collection of bras he’s amassed while on tour in a new photo, and the rapper’s mischievous smile says everything it needs to.
It isn’t known when the trend of the tossing of bras began on the tour, but Drake has certainly been egging his women fans on to join in the festivities. In one virtual clip, Drizzy called out one fan and her bra size, who then went on to get featured on Playboy’s OnlyFans page.
During a stop in Washington, D.C., one bra was so large that Drake counted out the letters, all the way up to L, which became another moment. It hasn’t been all wins because some items tossed on stage during his set have been returned to their owners with the Canadian’s dry wit hammering home why he didn’t accept the items.
However, the bras seem to have made it to Drake’s trophy case as it were as evidenced in the photo below. Just with an eye test, there are at least over 100 bras in the background. Guess these women didn’t need those expensive over-the-shoulder boulder holders after all.

For fans who thought Drake was dropping his latest album For All The Dogs this weekend, they woke up Friday (August 25) to discover that the anticipated project is still unreleased. On X, fans of the Canadian superstar are saying that they were duped into thinking the album would see a release after the artwork was posted to Drizzy’s Instagram page.
For All The Dogs is essentially shrouded in mystery and few details about Drake’s forthcoming eighth studio album have been revealed. Drake’s latest solo single, “Search & Rescue,” is the first single from the project according to reports but little else is known.
As we previously reported, For All The Dogs features album cover artwork from Drake’s young song, Adonis. The dog in question is especially menacing, leading many to believe Drake is in rapping mode for the album. But if that is true, “Search & Rescue” would make a dubious choice for a lead single.
Along with the announcement of his book of poetry earlier this year, Titles Ruin Everything, Drake also hinted at the album being a return to the “old Drake” as referenced in his message which also borrows a line from his “Headlines” track from the rapper’s Take Care album.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans are discussing the fact that the new album isn’t in their hands yet. Check out the reactions below.

Drake is the proud father of an elementary school boy and like any other dad worth his salt, he’s all about promoting the artistic visions of his progeny. For the Canadian superstar’s upcoming studio album, Adonis Graham will get a credit for his father’s For All The Dogs album cover, which Drake just revealed.
For All The Dogs is the upcoming eighth studio album for Drake, who has remained active over the past with projects like Honestly, Nevermind, and the collaborative album with 21 Savage, Her Loss. While the theme of the new album is mostly unknown aside from a feature from Nicki Minaj and Bad Bunny, the album cover’s reveal was a big step in letting fans in on what to expect.
The album cover looks like a dog that was drawn by a kid still in elementary school but that, in our opinion, is what makes it dope. It isn’t known if Drake directed his boy in the direction of the piece but the dog on the cover is menacing and maybe that means Drizzy is coming for necks this time around.
There is no release date announced for the new album so speculation remains at the center. That said, fans of Drake are awaiting the new album and hopefully, they won’t have much longer to wait.

If you are attending a Drake concert please act accordingly. Drizzy checked a fan for throwing his book at him.
As spotted in People, the Toronto, Canada native recently performed at the San Francisco date of his It’s All A Blur tour. During a brief intermission an attendee felt the need to toss their copy of Titles Ruin Everything, A Stream of Consciousness by Kenza Samir and Aubrey Graham at the “Way 2 Sexy” MC. The ticket holder seemed to throw the printed work with some force as it nearly hit Champagne Papi in the head.
Thankfully he caught the book mid air and avoided the embarrassing moment. “You lucky I’m quick,” he told the fan. “I would have had to beat your ass if that hit me in the face”. While he made it clear he didn’t take too kindly to the fan throwing the book Drake has been literally showered with gifts during this concert series. Throughout the Blur tour women of all ages and sizes have been throwing their bras at Aubrey. So much so he expressed disappointment at his Montreal, Canada when the ladies did not throw any undergarments at all.
“I would just like to say, before I go onto this next song, this is the first stage where I don’t have no bras, and I’m deeply disappointed,” he told the crowd. “But don’t start throwing shoes and phones and sh*t. If you got a bra, though, just let me know that I still got it ’cause I feel like I might be having a bad show or something.”
You can see Drake catch the book below.

Concert tickets cost a grip now, but one fan got a hell of a show and a Hermès Birkin Bag that could probably have her set for life.
During a recent Los Angeles stop during his It Was All A Blur Tour, Drake decided to make one lucky fans night by giving her a pink Hermès Birkin 30 bag, reportedly worth up to $35,000.
Drake admitted in a 2017 interview to having a vast collection of the ridiculously expensive Hermès Birkin handbags for the lucky women he will eventually settle down and have children with that he won’t have to hide, said in other TikTok videos “make sure she has security on the way out,” so she can make it out with expensive souvenir.
He also told the crowd that “Drake ain’t cheap!” obviously, repeating the chant during the show.
As expected, X users hopped on the platform formerly known as Twitter to express interest in attending a Drake show in hopes of acquiring their very own Hermès Birkin bag.
“Drake handing out Birkin Bags. I need a ticket IMMEDIATELY!!!!,” one X user wrote.
“drake gave away a birkin at his last concert???? lemme go find these tickets,” another X user wrote.
Drake has been flaunting his wealth in many ways, whether it is purchasing for $3 million, allegedly, and then melting down Pharrell’s chains, getting his hands on Tupac Shakur’s crown ring, which sold for $1 million.
Hey Drizzy, can we hold something? Just saying.

At this point, Drake is trolling us all. The 6 God debuted a hairstyle similar to the one worn by legendary, and fictional, rapper Thugnificent in The Boondocks.
The jokes truly write themselves. Drake was photographed (he also showed off his do on social media) at a workout that included NBA stars Kevin Durant and Trae Young. But while Drizzy continues to amaze with his deft at being buddies with talented ballplayers, it was his hair that may have been getting the most attention.
There’s Drake sporting his mane parted down the middle with pink clips holding the bunes in place. We’re not going to dabble in any homophobia because it’s 2023, and dude’s body list is brolic anyway. But we are going to document that jokes and slander for Drizzy yet again sporting a flagrant hairstyle, with a Fubu tee no less, though.
And the Thugnificent steez is just uncanny.
We’re just the messenger, peep some of the best reactions in the gallery.

A few months ago, Drake dropped a track dubbed “Search and Rescue” that sampled Kim Kardashian in which she spoke about her divorce from his rival, Kanye West. And now Ye’s estranged wife is seemingly having fun with the song as she continues to live her best and single life.
A new clip of Kim Kardashian attending Drake’s concert this past Sunday night (August 12) is going viral as the Reality TV star was captured reciting her own words on the song in which she stated “I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that!” Enthusiastically reciting the quote to someone off camera, Kim seemed more than happy to have been a part of the Drake song.
You have to wonder if this stings Kanye West at all or if he’s perfectly content funking up his household with his new wife, Bianca Censor.
Regardless of how Kanye might feel, many fans were shocked to see Drake seemingly ignore his rumored fling later that night as he walked past her and didn’t so much as stop to acknowledge her presence.
While it seemed like he didn’t pay her any mind, we don’t know if the man winked at her or smiled as winked at her as how can any man not notice that Kool Aid smile she was shooting at him as he walked towards her. Just sayin.’
The video clip comes after Drake is apparently reigniting his beef with Kanye West and Pusha T just a year after the King of The North and the false prophet of MAGA nation “squashed” their beef and performed together at a benefit concert for Larry Hover. Having thrown subliminal shots at Kanye on “Circo Loco” and Pusha T (and Pharrell for some reason) on “Meltdown,” Drizzy seems to be ready to engage with his rivals once again for whatever reason.
Kanye and Pusha have remained mum on the disses, but will Kim having fun with her sample push Ye to the brink? We shall see.
What do y’all think? Let us know in the comment section below.
