Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR tap into their funny side for ‘Some Sexy Songs 4 U' rollout
Now that Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' performance at the Super Bowl has passed, life goes on for Drake and his loyal fanbase. Presumably hoping to turn everyone's attention elsewhere, the OVO frontman and roster standout PARTYNEXTDOOR will drop their long-awaited joint album, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, on Valentine's Day (Feb. 14). Given what's been heard in a couple of teasers, those looking to press play can probably expect the R&B-infused cuts and high-energy anthems that have become a testament to The Boy's incomparable success.

Kendrick Lamar put on one heck of a Super Bowl halftime show and his A-list peers agree
On Monday (Feb. 10), Drake and PARTY recruited Canadian peers and comedian siblings Jermaine and Trevaunn 'Tre' Richards for a promotional skit in support of the LP. Set in a decorated hotel room, the roughly two-minute clip saw Tre pitching a romantic speech to his brother that he planned to say to his girl, Shanel, later that day. As the video continued, it became increasingly evident that Tre couldn't bring himself to say 'I love you,' leading to hilarious results. It's an example of the playful, self-aware marketing that helped Drake maintain his cultural dominance for well over a decade.
While at the Melbourne stop of his 'Anita Max Win Tour' in Australia, Drake provided concertgoers with a few details about the aforementioned body of work. In fan-recorded footage, he acknowledged the expected smooth, R&B vibes before confirming 'some turnt up songs' as well. 'It's some personal feelings on there for you,' he added. 'Whoever you're with on Valentine's Day, hopefully y'all can share that experience together. Wherever you can get your dinner. Get your drinks.'
At an earlier show on the same tour, the Toronto representative teased a future solo body of work, which would be his first since 2023's For All The Dogs. 'Eventually, when the time is right, Drizzy Drake alone by himself is gonna have to have a one-on-one talk to y'all,' he told the crowd in Perth. 'When the time is right, I'll be back with another album – a one-on-one conversation with y'all that you need to hear.'
Given his current legal issues, it isn't clear if that full-length offering will be released through Universal Music Group. However, if history is any indication, Drake has an uncanny ability to turn challenges into creative fuel, which makes his next move all the more intriguing.

NEWS OF THE WEEK: Jesse Williams' X account seemingly targeted by hackers
The former Grey's Anatomy star's X/Twitter account was seemingly infiltrated by an outsider who used the page to post inappropriate comments, involving celebrities such as Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Drake, Nina Dobrev and Demi Lovato. The messages, which were still on his account at press time, contained nudity and jokes about racism and paedophilia. During the posting spree, the apparent hacker wrote, "Diddy had cute butt cheeks (loved-up emoji)" and "I miss diddy", to imply that he was close with the rapper.

There Are New Reports On Taylor Swift's Relationship With Travis Kelce After Her "Demanding" And "Packed" Work Schedule
Taylor Swift is enjoying her time off after finishing her record-breaking Eras Tour last year. The tour launched in 2023 and made history as the highest-grossing tour ever with over $2 billion in ticket sales. It was comprised of 149 shows and took Taylor all across the globe, from the US and Canada to Asia and Latin America, before concluding in December. Since then, she's been spending quality time with Travis Kelce, whom she began dating in 2023, and as the upcoming NFL season approaches, sources say she's also looking forward to supporting him on the sidelines. A source tells People, "Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule."

And now that the tour is over, the source said Taylor is "genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up for Travis more consistently." "This fall will be completely different," the source continued. "Taylor plans to be at as many of his games as possible. They've both had such demanding schedules for so long, so having this stretch of time where things aren't quite as chaotic feels like a welcome change." The source added that it's also "a chance for them to settle into more of a routine" and that Taylor and Travis are "both really happy about that." Aww! Can't wait to see her at the games!
