Drake's Latest Knocks Kendrick Lamar From Top of Album Charts 2 Weeks After ‘Not Like Us' Super Bowl Show
Lamar's performance at the Super Bowl this month spurred 'GNX' to the No. 1 spot. Two other albums — 'Damn' (2017) and 'Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City' (2011) — also returned to the top 10.
The rap battle between Drake and Lamar exploded into popular culture discourse last year. The pair lobbed allegations of sexual harassment, infidelity, and pedophilia at one another through a series of songs and records; Lamar performed his hit 'Not Like Us' at the Super Bowl this year.
Lamar doubled down on allegations that Drake has sexual relationships with minors on 'Not Like Us.' He rapped, 'Say Drake, I hear you like 'em young/You better not ever go to cell block one/To any b—h that talk to him and layin' love/Just make sure you hide your little sister from 'em.' Elsewhere, he referenced Drake's 2021 album 'Certified Lover Boy' and added, 'Certified lover boy, certified pedophile.'
Drake's relationships with underage girls have been a topic of contention before. He came under fire in 2019 after a video from a 2010 concert showed him dancing with a 17-year-old girl and smelling her hair before kissing the back of her neck. At the time, Drake was 24 years old.
Also in 2019, a then-17-year-old Billie Eilish described Drake as 'the nicest dude' in an interview with Vanity Fair. She said, 'I mean, I've only, like, texted him, but he's so nice. Like, he does not need to be nice, you know what I mean?' Drake was 33 years old at the time. Drake also developed a close friendship with a young Millie Bobby Brown.
In 'Family Matters,' Drake's response to Lamar's 'euphoria', Drake directly challenged Lamar with allegations of physical abuse and infidelity.

Oasis' Noel Gallagher Breaks Silence in First Interview Since Reunion: ‘It's Great Being Back in a Band With Liam'
So far, Oasis have let the music do the talking. Liam and Noel Gallagher have just wound up the first round of UK and Irish dates on their sold-out Live '25 tour and in a testament to the breathless enthusiasm that's greeted their first round of shows in more than 16 years they've hardly had to talk up the dates at all. In fact, until Tuesday (Aug. 19) neither brother had sat down for a proper interview about the shows at all. But Noel, who like his younger sibling singer Liam, is simply mad about football, called in to his favorite drive-time sports chat show, talkSPORT with Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent, to chat about Man City, and, of course, how things are going with the formerly battling brothers. More from Billboard Oasis Takes Over Dublin for Triumphant First Ireland Live Show Since 2009 Oasis in 1996: What's the Story Behind the Britpop Giants' Lone Year of U.S. Pop Stardom? Oasis Is Reuniting For 2025 Tour Saying he was feeling 'a bit shaky' after the band's two-night run at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday (Aug. 16) and Sunday (Aug. 17), Gallagher summed up the weekend by saying, 'there was a lot of singing, a lot of drinking and a lot of talking nonsense… it was quite a night.' Noel said he's on 'top of the world' at the moment, professing to be 'completely blown away' by how the gigs the reunited band have played so far have been received. 'It's difficult to put into words, actually,' said the band's lyricist. 'Every night is the crowd's first night, so every night's got that same kind of energy. It's been truly amazing… I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it at the minute.' Asked how he was feeling on July 4 in Cardiff, Wales, when the band were gearing up to take the stage for the first show of a tour pretty much nobody thought would ever happen, Noel said Oasis have never been one of those bands who have a prayerful 'huddle' before they go on. That said, speaking just for himself, Noel admitted he, 'grossly underestimated what I was getting into… After about five minutes I was like, 'All right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again?' I've done stadiums before and all but, but I don't mind telling you my legs are turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song.' Summing it up, Noel said simply, 'it's been an amazing thing.' Reflecting on the emotional hug the brothers shared at the end of the first reunion show in July, Noel said, 'we're not those kind of guys, really… It's great just to be back with [guitarist] Bonehead and Liam and just be doing it again. I guess when it's all said and done we'll sit and reflect on it, but it's great being back in a band with Liam. I forgot how funny he was.' Giving his former sibling rival props for sounding great at the shows, Noel said, 'Liam's smashing it. I'm proud of him.' After fronting his own band for the 16 years they were apart — the High Flying Birds — Noel said he knows the pressures of being the lead singer and admitted, 'I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it…. I kind of look around and I think, 'You know, good for you, mate.' He's been amazing.' Also, in case you were wondering, yes, he's still getting hit up all the time by mates looking to score the hard-to-get tickets. 'When it all started, the ticket sales and all that, there was a few people who I would have expected to [be] looking for tickets who didn't,' he said. 'But after the first gig my phone just exploded.' Saying he feels bad for those who are left outside on the streets singing the band's songs at top volume after getting shut out on getting tickets, Noel said the showering of love is 'mental… it's more than the band. It's more than the songs. There's something else going on that we've not quite been able to our fingers on yet. Looking forward, Noel said he's really looking forward to playing one of the band's last shows, at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Nov. 15 and 16. 'We've played there a couple of times and the Argentinians are without doubt in the top five places for us to play in the world.' When Goldstein brought up persistent rumors that the band might be playing the Knebworth Festival next year on the 30th anniversary of their legendary 1996 headlining slot for 250,000 fans over two nights at that event, Noel politely moved right past that query and insisted they get on with the football talk.

Tory Lanez's lawyers push to overturn conviction in Megan Thee Stallion shooting case
As Tory Lanez serves a 10-year prison sentence for the shooting that injured Megan Thee Stallion, the rapper's lawyers are working to appeal his 2022 conviction. Speaking to a panel of judges in California's Second District Court of Appeal on Aug. 18, Lanez's attorney, Laura Cepero, argued that the DNA evidence the prosecution presented during his trial was misleading, according to Billboard and XXL Magazine. "It is actually marginally more likely that another member of the African American population touched this gun over Mr. Peterson," Cepero said, according to the outlets. "If our jury had heard that Mr. Peterson maybe one in a million touched the gun, I believe that would have been enough to tip that scale and show reasonable doubt." Another attorney on Lanez's defense team, Jose A. Baez, told USA TODAY in a statement, "I would say it is a statistical fact that any random African American male was more likely a contributor to the DNA on the gun than Daystar Peterson. "In fact, the DNA community has a random profile that is used as a control sample, and that profile was determined to match the mixture found on the gun rather than Daystar Peterson," he continued. "To be clear, it would be reckless and a complete fabrication to say that Tory's DNA was on that gun and to not exclude him as a contributor." 'Recovering remarkably': Tory Lanez's father gives health update after prison stabbing During arguments on behalf of the prosecution, according to courtroom footage shared by XXL Magazine and journalist Meghann Cuniff, California Deputy Attorney General Michael C. Keller said, "There's three times in which (Lanez) tacitly admitted to being the shooter." Among the evidence, Keller said, was a text to Megan in which he apologized to her for something that "never should have happened," blamed alcohol for the unspecified action and said she "probably" would never talk to him again. During the trial, Lanez denied that the messages were related to the shooting. "He was clearly accepting responsibility for something very big," Keller told the judges, per the videos. USA TODAY has reached out to the California Attorney General's office for comment. During Lanez's closely watched trial, it was determined that the DNA found on the handgun that discharged the bullet was inconclusive. Tory Lanez dealt legal blow after prison stabbing The oral arguments took place in Los Angeles nearly a week after appeals court judges largely denied two of his petitions related to the case, according to court records reviewed by USA TODAY. In the filings, known as habeas corpus petitions, Lanez's legal team reportedly challenged his conviction by alleging they have obtained new testimony, according to Rolling Stone and Billboard. They also once again cast doubt on some of the evidence presented during his 2022 trial, the outlets reported. The appeals court rulings were filed Aug. 12. Previously, in a May 19 TikTok post, Megan hit back after Lanez's team indicated they had new information that corroborated his claim that he did not fire the weapon. "At what point are y'all gonna stop making me have to re-live being shot BY TORY !?" she wrote. "At what point are Tory and y'all FANS gonna stop lying? ... FACTS ARE FACTS, he did it, it was PROVEN IN COURT." In May, Lanez was hospitalized after he was stabbed multiple times by a fellow inmate. Afterward, his father announced that he was "recovering remarkably." Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was convicted in 2022 of shooting Megan in the ankle after an alleged argument in the Los Angeles area. The Canadian singer-songwriter, who pleaded not guilty on all counts ahead of his trial, was found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm; having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle; and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

Drake/UMG Dispute: Transparency In The Streaming Age
Amid his highly publicized rap battle with Kendrick Lamar, Drake filed a series of lawsuits aimed at Universal Music Group, owner of his label Republic Records. Among other allegations, Drake accuses UMG of manipulating streams to favor Lamar's tracks over his own, causing him financial harm. These are just allegations for now, but they open the door to broader conversations about how major labels leverage their relationships with streaming platforms. These aren't niche issues: global paid streaming subscribers are projected to reach 827 million in 2025, according to research by Goldman Sachs. With that kind of scale, small shifts in visibility or recommendation algorithms can have enormous financial implications. Bots, Algorithms, and Playlist Visibility A significant issue at the heart of this lawsuit and the industry as a whole is the lack of regulation of 'bots,' software accounts that are programmed to repeatedly stream a song or album and, in the process, inflate streams. A Financial Times article found that as much as 10 percent of all music streams are derived from bots or streaming farms. According to allegations in Drake's lawsuit, 'Kendrick Lamar's 'label' (i.e., Interscope) paid him via third parties to use 'bots' to achieve 30,000,000 streams on Spotify in the initial days following the Recording's release with the goal of 'jumpstarting' its spread and turning it into 'a crazy hit' on the platform.' The lawsuit further stresses Spotify's failure to prevent the issue, as the platform itself acknowledged the presence of bots in response to Drake's pre-litigation filing in New York State court. The issue goes far beyond play counts, exposing systemic flaws in algorithms and playlist placements that serve as the industry's real digital gatekeepers for artist exposure. In 2020, the Federal Trade Commission scrutinized promotional practices in the streaming era, examining how labels influence playlist placement and algorithmic recommendations. Streaming was supposed to remove gatekeepers, but playlist algorithms have instead created new ones. It's hard enough for many of them to break into a platform's curated playlist, let alone reach the level of clout necessary to access customized licensing terms with that platform. Even well-established artists struggle to break through without curated playlist placement, let alone access to preferential licensing terms with DSPs. Streaming has reshaped music promotion, concentrating leverage around algorithms and data feeds. That shift affects everyone from bedroom producers to stadium headliners. Among Drake's other allegations, he claims UMG charged '...Spotify lower than usual licensing rates for the Recording in exchange for Spotify affirmatively recommending the Recording to users who are searching for other unrelated songs and artists,' and that UMG partnered with Apple's Siri to play Kendrick's track unprompted in response to unrelated voice requests. Tom Gray, founder of the #BrokenRecord campaign, echoed this sentiment in his testimony to the UK Parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, stating: 'The reality is that playlisting is the new payola. The gatekeepers have changed, but the game remains the same.' Without major label backing, independent artists face an uphill battle. Playlist inclusion can feel like a lottery, and without it, algorithmic momentum is hard to build. That cycle of fewer playlists, less visibility and lower per-stream rates makes it tough to break through, even for artists with strong followings or touring chops. This isn't just a visibility issue; it's an economic one. Goldman's reporting shows that recorded music revenue growth has slowed dramatically, missing 2024 projections by over 4 percentage points. When top-line growth slows, competition over playlist slots and per-stream payouts only intensifies. Metrics, Trust, and Power Royalties used to flow from physical CDs or iTunes downloads. Now, the industry runs on clicks, skips, and saves. And with that shift, power has moved to the platforms themselves, a setup that makes manipulation easier and oversight harder. Streaming payouts are complicated even in the best-case scenario. But when bots and backend deals enter the picture, things get murkier. It's not just a transparency problem. It's a trust problem. Even well-known artists say streaming numbers don't always mean financial sustainability. And for independent creators trying to make a living, inflated data hurts twice: they get buried in discovery algorithms and shortchanged in payout models. As Drake's legal team puts it, 'Streaming platforms, like Spotify, use streaming data to proportionally allocate and disperse payments, which means streaming fraud diverts funds from artists whose songs are legitimately streamed by real consumers to those who use automation to falsely create the appearance of legitimate streaming.' This isn't a new complaint. Artists, indie labels, and advocates have been calling for transparency for years. Groups across Europe and the U.S. have pushed for access to backend data and more clarity around algorithmic curation. Without it, the market remains tilted and opaque. Streaming data now functions as career currency. It shapes touring budgets, brand deals, sync placements and almost every downstream opportunity. And for the artists who don't have a label machine behind them, the opacity of that system makes it harder to compete on anything close to a level playing field. That imbalance also locks artists out of fast-growing income opportunities. Goldman estimates that if just 20% of paying subscribers worldwide are 'superfans' (meaning those willing to spend 2x the average fan) it could unlock over $4.2 billion in additional revenue. But if that growth depends on algorithmic exposure and playlist favor, it's not likely to benefit those who need it most. The stakes aren't limited to the U.S., as Goldman projects that 70% of all new streaming subscribers by 2030 will come from emerging markets. If algorithmic opacity remains the norm, these regions risk replicating the same inequities seen in the current system, just on a bigger scale. As the dust continues to settle from Drake's filings, the bigger question is whether the industry will start demanding real transparency – or whether we'll just keep optimizing for the algorithm. Legal Entertainment has reached out to representation for comment, and will update this story as necessary.
