Drake's Hotline Blings After Phone Number Gets Leaked During Livestream
Drake's personal hotline was ringing off the hook this week after his phone number was accidentally leaked during a livestream — and the 6 God took it all in stride. The unexpected moment happened when rising streamer Tylil James shared a FaceTime call with Drake on-air, inadvertently revealing the rapper's real number to thousands of viewers in real time. Drake, clearly amused yet resigned, didn't hesitate to call out the mishap during the live conversation. 'You definitely leaked my number,' Drake told Tylil, acknowledging the growing flood of calls and texts blowing up his line. 'This sh*t is going crazy,' he added, before brushing it off with characteristic cool. 'Don't worry, I can get a new number tomorrow. It's a blessing in disguise anyways.' The incident followed Drake's surprise involvement in Kai Cenat's inaugural Streamer University event, which took place over the weekend in Akron, Ohio. Though he didn't appear in person, Drake delivered a heartfelt pre-recorded message praising Cenat for uniting the livestream community in a unique way. 'To be able to organize this incredible academia event and gather you all together in one place is something that has never been done before,' he said. 'It's an extraordinary feat, and I want you all to show the most love that you possibly can for your Dean, the one and only Kai Cenat.' Drake's connection to top-tier streamers is no passing trend. Beyond his current visual project for 'SOMEBODY LOVES ME' with Cenat, he's made waves in the streaming world for years, most notably by helping skyrocket Twitch's popularity during a now-legendary Fortnite stream with Adin Ross and Ninja. He's also made multiple appearances on DJ Akademiks' platform, reinforcing his ongoing alliance with the online content community. See footage from Drake's appearance on Tylil's livestream below.

Morgan, Burton and Augustus also had a pair of sunglasses to complete the look. Read the original article on People

NOAA releases 2025 hurricane forecast
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted 'above-normal' hurricane activity this summer in its annual outlook for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. A news release from the organization published last week forecasts a range of 13 to 19 total named storms with winds of 39 mph or higher. NOAA estimated a 30% chance of a near-normal season, a 60% chance of an above-normal season and a 10% chance of a below-normal season. Of the number of storms predicted, six to 10 are forecast to become hurricanes with winds of 74 mph or higher. Three to five of those may become major category 3, 4 or 5 hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or stated in the release it has 70% confidence in these ranges. 'NOAA and the National Weather Service are using the most advanced weather models and cutting-edge hurricane tracking systems to provide Americans with real-time storm forecasts and warnings,' said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, in the release. 'With these models and forecasting tools, we have never been more prepared for hurricane season.'This year's hurricane season is expected to be above normal because of warmer than average ocean temperatures, forecasts for weak wind shear and potential for higher activity from the West African monsoon, NOAA stated. ENSO-neutral conditions, otherwise referred to as El Niño and La Niña, are also optimal this year for producing storms. More on the El Niño Southern Oscillation cycle can be read here. In short, the more heat there is settling in the Atlantic Basin, the more energy there is to fuel potential storms. NOAA stated that a reduction in trade winds also allows these storms to develop without disruption. 'As we witnessed last year with significant inland flooding from hurricanes Helene and Debby, the impacts of hurricanes can reach far beyond coastal communities,' said Acting NOAA Administrator Laura Grimm, in the release. 'NOAA is critical for the delivery of early and accurate forecasts and warnings, and provides the scientific expertise needed to save lives and property.' The release stated that 2025's hurricane season also has potential for the West African monsoon to produce tropical waves feeding into some of the 'strongest and most long-lived Atlantic storms' 'In my 30 years at the National Weather Service, we've never had more advanced models and warning systems in place to monitor the weather,' said Ken Graham, NOAA's national weather service director, in the release. 'This outlook is a call to action: be prepared. Take proactive steps now to make a plan and gather supplies to ensure you're ready before a storm threatens.'The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was particularly impactful for the transportation industry. Hurricane Helene destroyed key infrastructure in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, cutting off interstate access along I-40 for months. The interstate connection reopened in February of this year, but heavy rainfall through April and May have contributed to high water levels and additional flood damage along smaller roads in the Carolina mountains. Asheville and other smaller towns still are fighting to rebuild infrastructure that was destroyed in the storm and to secure additional funding resources for that rebuild. Carriers and logistics companies should look to SONAR critical events for tools to help plan decisions during storms this hurricane season.
