Drake throws slipper at drone spying on his Australian penthouse, Internet reacts
Drake was caught on video reacting to a drone hovering outside his Australian penthouse. The footage, which surfaced online on Tuesday, shows the rapper spotting the device, grabbing a slide, and throwing it in an attempt to knock it down.
In the clip, Drake walks onto his deck, flinches at the sight of the drone, and quickly goes back inside. He returns with an orange slide and tosses it at the flying device. The drone backs away before zooming out to capture a wide-angle shot of the city.
The video has sparked speculation among fans, with some questioning if the moment was staged while others criticized the invasion of Drake's privacy. A few fans also poked fun at the rapper with references to Kendrick Lamar's Grammy-winning song "Not Like Us" which is largely interpreted as a diss towards Drake.

The track, which has been at the centre of their public conflict, caused an uproar among fans, with many shouting along to its sharp lyrics. Following the performance, Lamar soaked in the crowd's applause for two minutes. While the rivalry between Lamar and Drake loomed large, the concert wasn't entirely about the feud.

Sherri Shepherd reveals identity of actress in tense Broadway confrontation
Sherri Shepherd has revealed that actress Nia Long was the celebrity involved in a tense confrontation during the Broadway opening night of Othello in March—an incident the talk show host previously mentioned without naming names. In a new interview on The Breakfast Club, the 58-year-old comedian and television personality shared that Long allegedly grabbed her at the event and accused her of "shading" her. 'It was Nia Long. I don't know who she had me confused with,' Shepherd said. 'The only time I've ever talked about Nia was when she went through a breakup after infidelity, and I supported her. I've never had a problem with her.' Shepherd first hinted at the altercation earlier this year, recounting on her talk show that the unexpected exchange left her shaken. During the event, she said she waited in the restroom at intermission, hoping to settle the misunderstanding. 'You don't get to pull me and turn me around like we're in a daggone cartoon and then walk away,' she recalled. Long, however, did not return to speak with her. As a longtime stand-up comic, Shepherd explained that she often incorporates real-life moments into her material. 'Everything that happens in my life is material for me. And my comedy stage is my talk show,' she said. She also clarified that she never initially named Long and emphasized that many women were present that night. While she acknowledged feeling disrespected by being physically grabbed, the Emmy-winning host says she bears no grudge. 'I'd love to talk to her and just clear it up,' she said. 'I'm cool. It's done.' Long has yet to publicly address the alleged encounter.
