Drake Makes History As First Ever Artist With 10 Diamond Records, Social Media Reminds Haters
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Drake set a wild new record; he's now the only artist with 10 diamond-certified tracks under his belt. The RIAA confirmed that both 'Hold On, We're Going Home' and his breakout banger 'Best I Ever Had' have officially gone diamond, meaning each has moved over 10 million units. That puts him at the top, passing every other artist in the game when it comes to diamond hits. Once the news hit Instagram, the reactions were all over the place. Some fans gave him his flowers, with one person writing, 'You can't hate on this… greatness right here.' But the Kendrick vs. Drake debate popped right back up. A Kendrick fan jumped in saying, 'Nobody said Drake didn't have hits, we just saying Dot raps better. The machine behind Drake been running strong for years.' While everyone's talking numbers, Drake's already back in the lab. He told Adin Ross during a stream on Kick that he's cooking up something new, calling the next project a 'slap.' His post on IG with the caption 'Iceman' had fans guessing that it might be tied to the name or vibe of his next drop. If true, it'll be his first solo album since For All the Dogs in 2023. On top of that, he's linking up with Kai Cenat for a new music video for 'SOMEBODY LOVES ME.' They're running a contest where fans can submit their ideas for a chance to win $15K and get featured in the final cut. Drake even popped up at Cenat's 'Streamer University' event last weekend, keeping his finger on the pulse of what's hot online. At this point, Drake isn't just breaking records, he's rewriting the rules.

Beyoncé Braves The Pouring Rain At MetLife Stadium In Ultimate ‘Cowboy Carter' Performance
Source: Alex Slitz / Getty As the Cowboy Carter tour bucks on, Beyoncé continues to give her fans exactly what they want (and paid a hefty sum for), even if that means she has to brave the elements to do so. During her fourth night at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for her sold-out Cowboy Carter tour , Beyoncé didn't let a torrential downpour stop her from performing the nearly three-hour show with songs from her Grammy-winning album. Per USA Today , the rain came before the show began at a little after 8 p.m. local time, and the stage was thoroughly wiped down before Beyoncé went on. As she opened the show, Beyoncé addressed the large crowd and thanked them for their decades of support throughout her career. 'Thank you for your love, dedication and for your loyalty over 25 years,' she said. The rain continued throughout the entirety of the concert. Still, she proceeded on, and her fans were right there with her even though their carefully curated fashion ensembles and hairstyles were drenched. However, in true Beyhive fashion, if Beyoncé can deal with an obstacle then they will follow suit. Mama Tina Knowles praised her daughter for being the ultimate performer in an Instagram post. 'Oh my God !!! You cannot talk her out of flying and pouring down rain!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Just had to get on my knees and pray❤️🙏🏽,' she captioned a clip of Bey flying through the air on a giant horseshoe. Towards the end of the May 28 show, she thanked her fans again, but this time it was specifically for braving the rain with her. 'Thank y'all for giving all this energy in the cold and rain. I love you deep deep deep,' she said. Beyoncé will take the stage at MeLife Stadium for a fifth night on Thursday, May 29. Her next tour stop will be across the pond to London, England for a six-night run of shows at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium beginning June 5.

Brazilian singer who is pals with Neymar busted for alleged ties to gang he glorified in songs
A hugely popular Brazilian funk star whose songs glorify gang crime has been nabbed for the very same crimes he brags about in his songs. Marlon Brandon Coelho Couto Silva, better known as MC Poze do Rodo, was cuffed at his luxury home in the beachside neighborhood of Recreio dos Bandeirantes on Thursday morning, accused of cozying up to one of Rio De Janeiro's top crime groups, the Comando Velhelmo, according to Agencia Brasil. The 26-year-old influencer has 5.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify and nearly 16 million followers on Instagram, where he shows off his glamorous lifestyle rubbing shoulders with the likes of Brazilian soccer star Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior. Advertisement A Brazilian funk star's lyrics are being investigated for cozying up to one of Rio De Janeiro's top crime gangs. Josí© Lucena/TheNEWS2 via ZUMA Press / 'The repertoire of songs sung by him clearly advocates drug trafficking, the illegal use of firearms, and incites armed confrontations between rival gangs, which often results in innocent victims,' the Rio de Janeiro Civil Police told Agencia Brasil. His songs include several glorifying the Comando Velhelmo — whose members were seen toting guns while manning one of his recent shows, Folhape de Pernambuco reported. Advertisement In the song 'Na CDD Só Tem Bandido Faixa Preta,' Silva sang about it being time for Comando Vermelho to take back their turf from rival criminal groups. 'We have Glock, we have AK,' he raps. 'We're going to go back home and put the bullet to eat. Retake what's ours and shout: It's the CV!' Silva's concerts were allegedly used by the crime faction to 'increase profits from the sale of narcotics,' and used resources to 'acquire more drugs, firearms and other equipment necessary to commit crimes,' police told the outlet. Silva's shows were allegedly manned by armed members of Comando Vermelho in gang-controlled areas of Brazil. Instagram/pozevidalouca Advertisement He will be temporarily held in prison as the investigation continues, a custody center told the outlet. Comando Vermelho is one of Brazil's oldest criminal groups, founded in a Rio de Janeiro prison in the 1970s for inmates' self-protection, according to InSight Crime.
