'Even at the Nokia video shoot he had a bunch of producers and he was just recording...' Smiley reveals Drake is working on new music
The 27-year-old rapper - who is signed to the 'Hotline Bling' hitmaker's record label, OVO Sound - claimed in a video on his Instagram Stories that Drake, 38, has been working on new material during events, as well as on the set of Drake's 'Nokia' music video.
Smiley, whose real name is Alexander Morand, said in the clip - which was shared by Drake: "Brother, I'm telling you, I seen him the other day.
'We're at a party and he was in the other room by himself eating pasta with wired headphones writing music while we have a whole party going on. He's on a different mode right now.
'Even at the 'Nokia' video shoot, during breaks, he had a bunch of producers and he was just recording.
"So he's in that crazy mode, right now. (sic)'
Smiley - who collaborated with Drake on 'Over The Top' in 2021 - made the comments just weeks after Drake confirmed he is working on a new album, which he spilled is "a slap" on Adin Ross' livestream on Kick.
Drake said: "Thank you to everybody that's streaming the album. Every time, every journey. Working on a new album, it's a slap."
Asked if it's a solo record, he replied: "Yeah."
Drake released a joint album with fellow rapper PARTYNEXTDOOR, '$ome $exy $ongs 4 U', in February, which topped the charts.
And the five-time Grammys winner's confirmation of a new LP came just months after he told the crowd during his 'Anita Max Win' tour at RAC Arena in Peth, Australia, in February that he is working on an untitled LP, which he described as a "one-on-one talk" with his fans.
Drake teased the new project - which will be his first solo LP since 2023's 'For All the Dogs': "I got a new album coming out on Valentine's Day with PARTYNEXTDOOR. It's called '$ome $exy $ongs 4 U.'
'And you know, eventually when the time is right, Drizzy Drake alone by himself is gonna have to have a one-on-one talk to y'all.
"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."

Kris Jenner called out for having ‘six toes' in alleged Photoshop fail
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Kris Jenner was called out after seemingly sprouting a sixth toe. The reality star's feet raised eyebrows as she shared photos from her mum MJ's 91st birthday lunch at The Ivy in Beverly Hills, as reported by Page Six. The 69-year-old rocked a chic Oscar de la Renta gown and accessorised with a matching cardigan, gold purse and open-toed sandals in the pictures – which revealed an alleged Photoshop fail, prompting eagle-eyed fans to sound off in the comments on Instagram. Kris Jenner was called out after fans spotted an apparent sixth toe in her Instagram photos. Picture: Instagram/@krisjenner 'You have 6 toes??' one user wrote, while another quipped, '6 toe steppa.' 'Does she have 6 toes or am I trippin?' a third asked, to which a fourth responded, 'you are NOT trippin.' Others were more preoccupied with Jenner's dramatically youthful appearance. 'What in the Benjamin Button?' one person marvelled, with another adding, 'is it just me or did she get younger?' A representative for Jenner did not immediately return Page Six's request for comment. Jenner wore a chic Oscar de la Renta dress with a matching cardigan and gold bag in the photos. Picture: Instagram/@krisjenner '6 toe steppa,' one follower quipped. Picture: Instagram/@krisjenner This is nowhere near the first time the family has been roasted for a suspected Photoshop fail, having been called out on multiple occasions for various photo-related reasons. In a 2019 ad for their perfume collaboration, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner were both ridiculed for seemingly having six toes on their feet. In the KKW Fragrance campaign, the sisters wore co-ordinating asymmetric pastel bodysuits and translucent open-toed heels. At the time, a representative for Kim told Page Six that the six-toe illusion was not a Photoshop faux pas, but instead the result of the sideways angle of the Skims founder's foot. In 2019, sisters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner were called out for the same reason. Picture: Instagram/@kimkardashian Other infamous Kardashian-Jenner Photoshop gaffes include the 2021 cousin swap when Kim admitted she pasted niece True Thompson's face onto her other niece Stormi Webster's body in a photo from Disneyland alongside her own daughter Chicago West. 'The original (Disneyland) pics were Stormi!' she wrote via Instagram Stories after a TikTok user called out the switch. 'However I asked @kyliejenner if I could post them and she said (crying emoji) she wasn't really feeling posting at the moment and so I respect that! But I wasn't going to mess up my IG feed. Chi was wearing pink and it matched perfectly.' A year later, in 2022, Kim was accused of Photoshopping her own leg in a photo promoting a Skims bikini – and she hastily deleted the photo. Khloe Kardashian was called out for a similar apparent leg edit in 2023, and Kourtney Kardashian once faced criticism after her backside appeared unnaturally large in an animal-print robe.

Jack Osbourne's heart is 'full of so much sadness'
Jack Osbourne's heart is "full of so much sadness" following the death of his dad Ozzy Osbourne. The Black Sabbath star died on July 22 - just two weeks after he reunited with his bandmates for a huge reunion show in his hometown of Birmingham - and the tragedy left his son Jack, 39, totally devastated. He's now shared a poignant tribute to Ozzy and insisted he feels "lucky and blessed" to have him as his father. In a post on Instagram , Jack wrote: "I haven't really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. "I'm gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad'. "My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing." Jack went on to share a quote from Hunter S. Thompson which he believes "best describes my father". The quote read: 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body ... but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!'" Jack concluded: "That was my dad. He lived and he lived his life fully. I love you dad." Jack's post comes days after his sister Kelly Osbourne, 40, described the death of their father as the "hardest moment of my life". T In an emotional post on her Instagram Stories on Monday (04.08.25), Kelly explained she is still trying to process her loss. She wrote: "I've sat down to write this a hundred times and still don't know if the words will ever feel like enough ... but from the bottom of my heart, thank you. "The love, support and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain." She continued: "Grief is a strange thing - it sneaks up on you in waves - I will not be ok for a while - but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. "Thank you for being there. I love you all so much."
