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.

The Latest Air Jordans? They're Digital
In March, when Jordan Brand released the Air Jordan 4 'Brick by Brick,' a collaboration with the BMX athlete Nigel Sylvester, they sold out almost instantly, quickly doubled in value on the resale market and were championed by collectors as an early contender for sneaker of the year. But for some sneaker fans, the real fun began two months later, when the 'Brick by Brick' became available in Fortnite — as a fully digital replica that could be purchased for 1,000 'V-Bucks,' the game's virtual currency, or about $8.99. Fortnite, the online multiplayer shooter by Epic Games, introduced Kicks, a vertical within its popular in-game marketplace dedicated to footwear, in November. Alongside a handful of quirky proprietary designs, the virtual shop sells shoes by Nike, Jordan Brand, Adidas and Crocs, which can be worn by player avatars and shown off during matches. For gamers — especially kids — these digital sneakers represent a form of creative self-expression. 'The younger generation sees what happens on the internet as no less important than the offline world,' Funs Jacobs, a technology and culture strategist, said. 'To older generations, it sounds insane, but it's a bit of an identity thing.' They're also a big business. Fortnite, a free-to-play game, has more than 500 million registered users and an average of over two million active players every day. Its $5 billion in annual revenue comes almost entirely from the sale of virtual goods. Though Epic would not provide exact sales figures, a representative from the company said players had selected and applied Kicks to their avatars nearly seven billion times since November.

What Makes His Taste So Good?
Perhaps you've seen Beyoncé soaring over crowds in a floating horseshoe at her Cowboy Carter tour performances, or riding a metallic mechanical bull. If you've wondered who came up with those stunts, the answer involves Willo Perron. 'She really is, in my eyes, the last of a type of an entertainer-performer,' Mr. Perron, the tour's stage designer, said over tea at Corner Bar, a restaurant on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, in April. 'Really, I've never seen somebody work so diligently.' He was speaking with the perspective of someone who has also worked with Rihanna (on her Super Bowl LVII halftime show), with Drake (on the Aubrey and the Three Migos tour) and with Florence and the Machine (on the group's High As Hope tour). 'It makes you have to kind of show up at such a high level all the time,' Mr. Perron said of working with Beyoncé. 'And it's good, it's like playing a sport with somebody who is much better than you. Hopefully, it makes you a little bit better yourself.' Mr. Perron, 51, is one of those people who is hard to put a label on professionally — the type of creative mind whose fluency in various mediums has led some to call him a cultural polymath and others a world builder. 'What I do is like planting seeds with no expectations,' he said. 'Just constantly planting seeds and planting seeds. And then if something grows, then I give it attention. And then simultaneously, this thing will grow over here and I'll give that a little bit of attention.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Here's The Exact Time The ‘Fortnite' Death Star Sabotage Live-Event Goes Live And Season 3 Begins
Fortnite The current season of Fortnite is about to end, so make sure you've wrapped up all your challenges and finished every tier of the Chapter 6, Season 2 Battle Pass. Only hours remain before a new season drops and the current Star Wars-themed season ends and a new Superman season begins. This was a short, truncated season of content for Fortnite players. The new season is Superman / DC Comics-themed thanks to the upcoming release of James Gunn's new Superman movie starring James Corenswet. The Battle Pass skins are mostly based on DC characters including the new Superman model based on Corenswet from the film. Read on to learn everything you need to know about the new Superhero Academy Chapter 6, Season 3. The current season isn't going out quietly. The Star Wars Galactic Battle wraps up with a major live-event called Death Star Sabotage. Here's when it kicks off on Saturday, June 7th: Players should get queued up early. You can login two hours ahead of the event to hopefully secure your spot (barring any technical problems or overwhelmed servers) and you can do that on mobile now that Fortnite is back in the Google Play and App Stores. There's no exact timing or details on the event, but expect it to last 15 to 20 minutes.

Expect servers to go dark by 2:30pm ET. The game will likely go dark for the next few hours, but players will likely be able to hop into Season 3 the evening of Saturday, June 7th (earlier on the West Coast). Already we've started to see the Battle Pass skins leak for Season 3. These include Superman and Robin along with some pickaxes, gliders and more. Superman's dog Krypto is set to join the game as well, likely as some kind of pet companion. New weapons like the Unstable Yoink Shotgun are also coming to the battle royale game. Other items and weapons include • Krypto Treat • Superman Sprite • Unstable Yoink Shotgun • Wingshot Grappler • Deadeye DMR • Killswitch Revolvers • Hyperburst Pistol • Kor's Deadeye DMR • Enhanced Spire Rifle • Myst Gauntlets • Spire Rifle • Tracking Visor.

I'll update this post if that changes. For now, get ready for a major live-event and a brand new season. Bye bye Star Wars, hello DC Comics.
