Steph Curry pulled up to Drake’s mansion and the two competed in a heated game of ping pong, but it’s unclear who ultimately got the best of the match-up. The NBA star then took his talents to the outdoor basketball court, where he proceeded to cook all of the 6 God’s friends and affiliates. This appears to be during the mid-2010s as Drizzy was working on Views.

Pusha T beat Drake to the punch when exposing that the 6 God had a son named Adonis on his scathing “The Story of Adidon” diss track in 2018. Shortly after, Drake decided to continue executing his plan to reveal his child to the world on Scorpion‘s “March 14.” Footage from the 100 Gigs drop shows Drake eagerly listening to every detail of the track off an iPhone.

Drake had one of those “my life’s a movie” type of moments seeing his hard work pay off when walking inside his luxurious Air Drake private jet for the first time. He also gave fans a look at his design process for the Air Drake 2 sister plane while listening to Yeat. “Chances Are She’s On Board” is a fitting tagline for the OVO aviation.

The Rihanna-Drake relationship is severed these days with her baby daddy A$AP Rocky and Drizzy even exchanging shots on diss tracks. But that wasn’t always the case, as Drake and Rih were close collaborators and more in the first half of the 2010s. A 100 Gigs clip found Drake and Rihanna at soundcheck rehearsing their 2011 “Take Care” collaboration in front of an empty arena. Even back then, the chemistry was apparent.

A hook-up inspired one of Drake’s diamond-certified anthems. Drizzy explained how a girl’s phone kept going off when they were hanging out together, which led to him storing her in his phone as “Hotline Bling.”

“We used to be in bed together … and her phone would be blowing up. So I saved her name in my phone as ‘Hotline Bling.’ That’s always been her name on my phone,” he said. “And I was looking at it today, I was like, ‘Hotline Bling’ is a sick name. That should be an artist name.”

He eventually put the energy into recording a record with her contact name as the title and the rest is history. Interestingly enough, Drake nearly had Future hop on “Hotline Bling” with him. “When I was writing it, I wrote it as a Shy Glizzy song,” he said. “That’s why I was asking if we should put Future on this s–t.”

Drake’s 2018 Wyoming trip proved to be a pivotal point in the fracturing of his relationship with Kanye. At the time, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg reported that Drake flew to Wyoming to work with West and was initially left off as a co-writer on “Yikes” when the track arrived as part of Yeezy’s Ye album.

Now we have the footage of Drake working on what became the hook to “Yikes” as he recorded the reference. A line can be drawn from the Drake and Kanye relationship souring to the Pusha T and Drizzy feud boiling over a couple of months later in May 2018.

Drake took it back to the Take Care era when he built a make-shift studio in a hotel room closet to record poignant project opener “Over My Dead Body.” Footage shows him instructing Canadian singer Chantal Kreviazuk how he wants her to open the record with an intoxicating introduction.

When Jay-Z agrees to hop on a record, you move mountains to make that happen. Drake was clearly up against the clock when game planning with OVO 40 to be ready for Jay to send his verse through for what became “Talk Up” on 2021’s Certified Lover Boy.

Hov’s engineer, Young Guru, provided some context on the situation, which saw them thread the needle from a time perspective with Jay performing in Europe with Beyoncé for the OTR2 Tour and having to record his verse immediately after a show.
