Drake Makes History As First Ever Artist With 10 Diamond Records, Social Media Reminds Haters
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.

She elaborated on how her 'Grammy' taught her strength, how to paint, and kindness.

Brad, 60, was said to be especially tight with his mother, often crediting her as the emotional cornerstone of their family.

Re-shared this year by Instagram fan account, @celinedionfashion, the clip showed Celine being interviewed by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and things took a turn when Ellen asked when she was going to cut off her son's long hair. "Do you have a problem with that?" was Celine's speedy response. "Whatever I will do, I won't please everyone," she quipped, and also went on to reveal that "Rene-Charles makes his own decisions." MORE TO READ Celine Dion opens up about how her three sons have privately dealt with her health battle Fans praised how Celine handled the situation with one writing: "Celine did that with style, education and respect! She's amazing!" and another adding: "Do you have a problem with that? Put Ellen in place right there." A third penned: "Sooooo classy! So admirable, Céline!" and a fourth added: "Glad Ellen is not on TV anymore; she was not kind." Mum-of-one Features Editor, Miranda Thompson, shares her experience on unsolicited advice about children. "When it comes to unwanted advice about my son, I have to always try to remember people think they're being helpful, not malicious, and that it's likely they're trying to offer their own support in their own way. If it really winds me up, I'll take a deep breath and vent to a mum chat later!" she says. Celine shares her sons with late music producer René Angélil, who sadly passed away in 2003. On Father's Day, Celine shared a heartfelt message to her late husband. "You may no longer be by our side, but your love lives within us.

Brooks Nader heats up Saint-Tropez with leopard-print swimsuit, sheer dresses
Brooks Nader is serving looks in Saint-Tropez. The 28-year-old model posted a series of photos on Instagram from her summer getaway on the French Riviera, including a number of revealing looks, captioning the post, "Some fave fits and views as of lately." One of the photos featured Nader walking outdoors in a leopard-print one-piece swimsuit, which she paired with black sunglasses and a drink in her hand. In another photo, she can be seen in the back of a car wearing a low-cut black sleeveless shirt which she accessorized with a chunky gold necklace. Nader also shared a photo of herself sitting on the bed of a truck in a white bikini, which she paired with sweatshorts, black sandals, sunglasses and a baseball cap. Nader shared many other snippets from her trip, including footage from a helicopter ride, the view of the ocean from the pool where she was staying and the many other outfits she put together. The looks included a sheer black and white polka dot dress, a white crop top with a sheer white skirt, a sheer backless dress which she paired with diamonds, and a white dress with a thigh-high slit and cutouts. Fans in the comments section were quick to share how much they loved her looks, with one writing "It's really unfair that anyone be this perfect," and another adding, "You look insane!" A third fan chimed in with, "st tropez looks good on you," while a fourth wrote, "Those abs will not be denied." Just last month, Nader made headlines when she suffered a wardrobe malfunction while on the red carpet at the ESPYs. The model walked the red carpet in a cream silk slip dress with a plunging neckline, which drifted too far to one side at one point, resulting in a nip-slip. Nader quickly readjusted her dress and continued to pose for photos on the carpet with confidence. The model can often be seen sporting daring and often risqué looks on the red carpet, telling Fox News Digital in December 2021 she has loved to experiment with fashion since she was a kid and was always confident in her style. While she was always confident, Nader explained that working with "Sports Illustrated helped my confidence a lot" because not only was she surrounded by models who are physically beautiful, but who "also have beautiful hearts" and built a "very spirit-lifting community." While confident, her daring style has led to "so many near mishaps." "It took a lot of figuring out when it came to my love of sheer dresses and how to perfectly conceal everything," she explained at the time. "I had one sheer dress moment where I wore this high-rise underwear that was way too light. And it showed through the dress. But you live and learn from experience."
