Drake Offers a Rare Look Inside His Renovated $200M Jet "Air Drake"
Drakejust unveiled a closer look into his renovated'Air Drake.'The heavily customized Boeing 767-300F isn't just a private jet — it's a physical extension of the brand he's built: global, ambitious, and unapologetically luxe.
Visually, the aircraft has always made a statement. What was once a more vintage, slightly pink-toned interior has since been updated to reflect a cooler, more contemporary mood — now outfitted with purple LED lighting and a dedicated movie room tailored for long-haul travel. 'It's, like, probably one of the craziest moments of my life,' Drake shared, reflecting on how the jet came to be. 'I actually didn't believe it until AJ told me, 'I'ma get you the biggest jet in the game. Out of anybody, it would be you and the President — that's it.'' That promise turned into what is now one of the most extravagant private planes in music.
Its original livery, designed in collaboration with the lateVirgil Abloh, featured a soft sky-blue and white cloud-like finish, complete with Drake'sOVOowl on the tail and bold 'Air Drake' branding along the engines. While the exterior remains unchanged, recent glimpses of the updated interior have sparked speculation that the new look could be tied to the tone or aesthetic of his upcoming album rollout forIceman.
Originally constructed in 1996 as a freighter, the aircraft was acquired by Drake in 2019 through a strategic partnership with Cargojet, a Canadian cargo airline. The deal, reportedly involving no direct payment, hinged on Cargojet's belief that Drake's global visibility would generate significant brand exposure. They weren't wrong. In the years since, Air Drake has become one of the most talked-about aircraft in pop culture.
The base value of the 767 comes in at around $185 million, but the real story is in the transformation. An estimated $80–100 million USD in upgrades brought the plane into an entirely different category of private aviation. It now accommodates between 30–45 passengers, prioritizing space, comfort, and long-haul performance over maximum capacity.
Take a closer look at Drake's tour of 'Air Drake' below, and stay tuned for more on the upcoming release of his albumIceman.

Date night? Justin Trudeau spotted in Montreal with Katy Perry
Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was spotted dining with pop star Katy Perry in Montreal on Monday evening, prompting speculation about a budding romance. The two high-profile figures spent roughly two hours at the fine-dining restaurant, according to Samantha Jin, a communications consultant for the restaurant Le Violon. Jin confirmed the dinner to The Associated Press but said there was no indication of romance in the air. 'No visual signs of PDA or anything,' she told the AP, using an acronym to refer to public displays of affection. Jin said no patrons approached Trudeau and Perry for a photo during their meal, saying the two mostly kept to themselves. 'We kind of got the vibe that they were a little more chill,' Jim told the AP. The meal began with a variety of appetizers including tuna, beef tartare, lobster and asparagus, and followed with lamb for the main course, Jin said, noting security watched from the bar throughout the dinner. Perry is on tour in Canada this week, with stops in Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. Next week, she is scheduled to perform in Toronto. The singer recently split from her longtime partner, Orlando Bloom. Trudeau separated from his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023. TMZ was first to report on the dinner. A spokesperson for Perry was not available to comment. Perry is known for his support of Democratic politicians, and performed at an event for then-Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Trudeau had a number of run-ins with President Trump while in office, most recently over the U.S. president's threats of tariffs on Canada and his suggestions that country should join the United States.

Kendrick Lamar Beats His Own Radio Record With Another Week At No. 1
Kendrick Lamar's 'Luther' becomes his longest-running No. 1 on the Rap Airplay chart, outlasting ... More 'Not Like Us' with 18 weeks at the top. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - FEBRUARY 08: Kendrick Lamar performs onstage during the Visa Cash App RB Formula One Team 2024 Livery Reveal on February 08, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo byfor Cash App) In many ways, 'Not Like Us' will likely be remembered as Kendrick Lamar's career high point. The tune propelled the rapper into the stratosphere, which is saying a lot, considering that by the time the Drake diss track was released, he was already one of the most respected names in hip-hop, as well as one of the most awarded and commercially successful. 'Not Like Us,' which won both Record and Song of the Year at the Grammys, quickly emerged as one of the biggest hits of 2024 and certainly one of Lamar's most memorable. After that cut reset a number of historic records, one of the superstar's follow-up singles has somehow become even bigger, something that seemed unlikely during the heyday of 'Not Like Us.' 'Luther' Is Steady at No. 1 'Luther' continues to rule the Rap Airplay chart, keeping Cardi B's 'Outside' from claiming another No. 1. That tune swaps spots with Lamar's 'Peekaboo' featuring AZChike, which dips to fourth place. 'Luther,' which also credits Lamar's friend SZA, becomes as the rapper's most successful No. 1 ever on the Rap Airplay ranking as it leads once more. 'Luther' Rules for a Milestone 18 Weeks As of this frame, 'Luther' has led the Rap Airplay chart for 18 weeks. Previously, the tune was matched with 'Not Like Us,' which managed 17 frames at the summit, starting in June 2024. Now, his collaboration has become the longest-running champion in his discography on the most important rap radio list published by Billboard. Kendrick Lamar Dominates the Top 10 Amazingly, as 'Luther' runs the show, Lamar occupies multiple spaces near the top of the Rap Airplay chart this frame. He appears inside the top 10 with 'Luther,' 'Peekaboo,' and 'TV Off,' a collaboration with Lefty, Gunplay. 'Squabble Up,' another track from his recent album GNX, drops just outside the region, slipping from No. 6 to No. 11, as last week he owned 40% of the entire top 10. 'Luther' Rules More Than One Tally 'Luther' reigns beyond the Rap Airplay ranking this frame. The track also returns to the top spot on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts. Recently, Drake's new single 'What Did I Miss?' opened in first place, but it has already started to slip.

Meghan Markle's former friend Jessica Mulroney splits from husband
The Duchess of Sussex's former best friend, Jessica Mulroney, has reportedly split from her husband after almost 17 years of marriage. Sources have told Page Six that the Canadian stylist, 45, is no longer wearing her wedding ring and broke the news to friends when she attended a wedding solo in Toronto last month. You may also like Princess Kate interrupts family break with major announcement Why Prince Harry could miss out on major role Princess Beatrice makes incognito appearance with family Another insider told the US outlet that Jessica and her husband, Ben Mulroney, had reportedly separated "some time ago". Jessica shares three children with Ben – who is the son of former Canadian Prime Minister, the late Brian Mulroney and his widow, Mila. The couple have twin sons, Brian and John, 14, and daughter Ivy, 12, were part of the bridal party at Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding in Windsor in May 2018 – where Jessica also acted as the bride's maid of honour. HELLO! has reached out to Jessica Mulroney's representatives for comment. Fallout with Meghan Former actress Meghan first met stylist Jessica on the set of Suits, and the pair formed a close friendship, even going on girls' holidays together. But in 2020, the pair reportedly fell out amid a racism scandal when influencer Sasha Exeter called out Jessica for displaying "textbook white privilege" within the fashion blogging community. And when Jessica apologised, citing Meghan as one of her "closest friends", the Duchess reportedly put an end to their friendship. The stylist has not featured on Meghan's new Instagram account since the Duchess returned to the social media platform at the start of 2025 and she did not appear in the Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Close friends Abigail Spencer, Kelly McKee Zajfen, Delfina Figueras and Daniel Martin all notably made appearances on the show. Jessica is thought to have briefly featured in the Sussexes' Netflix series, Harry & Meghan, released in 2022. Moments before Harry proposed in the garden of Nottingham Cottage, Meghan was seen video calling a friend. She was heard saying: "Oh my God Jess, it's happening. He told me not to peek."
