Drake Reveals Which Rapper Was The Only One Checking On Him During Rap Beef
On 'GIMME A HUG,' Drizzy shouted out 21 Savage for being the only peer who consistently checked in on him, rapping, 'Savage, you the only n**ga checkin' on me when we really in some sh*t, brother.'
The rap beef has spawned several side battles after people allegedly started choosing sides, which were confirmed via Drake's disdain with DeMar DeRozan, LeBron James-targeted track 'Fighting Irish Freestyle,' rant about 'people turning their backs,' and more. He even implied he no longer wants to work with DJ Khaled by denying his already-recorded features on the producer's upcoming album. As his friend circle gets tighter, the 'Pipe Down' rapper confirmed he's still in good standing with 21.
Back in May, 21 Savage made it clear he did not want to be involved in the rap beef in any way and stated he will continue to remain on good terms with people on both sides of the war. 'Bruh, aye, don't keep comin' on my muthaf**kin' live talkin' about no muthaf**kin' beef,' 21 said. 'Metro my brother and Drake my brother.'
'GIMME A HUG' specifically has caused quite a stir since its release, as the song also houses a shot at Joe Budden. Right after the 21 Savage line, the 6 God spits, 'Melyssa Ford, you a legend from the 6, hate to see you with a d**k-sucker.' Although the bar attempts to mention Ford in an uplifting light, it places the legendary video vixen in the line of fire due to her role as Budden's cohost on The Joe Budden Podcast.
He had smoke for Kendrick too elsewhere on the song, as he says, 'Bulletproof doors so heavy, got me rolling 'round like a dignitary/ Funny how it's only bitch n**gas that are waiting on The Boy's obituary/ 'Cause if I die, it's these n**gas that become the sole beneficiary/ And what the f**k are they gon' do with it?/ Have the girls up at 29 on stage twerking with a dictionary?'

Brad Pitt's LA home burglary leads to 4 arrests in ongoing police investigation
Authorities have arrested four suspects believed to be linked to a string of residential burglaries across Southern California, including a recent break-in at the Los Angeles home of actor Brad Pitt. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that four individuals were taken into custody in connection with a burglary on the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street. While the department does not release or confirm the identity of homeowners, multiple media outlets have reported the property belongs to Pitt, who purchased the home in 2023, according to real estate site The Real Deal. Details regarding how the suspects were apprehended have not been released. Pitt's representative declined to comment on the matter. A spokesperson from the Los Angeles Police Department stated that officers from the Northeast division responded to a call in the 2300 block of Edgemont Street at around 10:30 p.m. on June 25. According to the report, three individuals allegedly scaled a fence, entered the yard, and broke in through a front window, and proceeded to "ransack" the property. The suspects reportedly took various items before fleeing the scene. Pitt was not at home during the June 25 incident, as he was away promoting his film "F1." Law enforcement officials have yet to disclose further details, but the arrests mark a significant step in addressing what appears to be a coordinated campaign of thefts targeting wealthy and well-known individuals. A spokesperson for the LAPD told Fox News Digital that they could not verify if the arrests were connected to other crimes at this time. In May, Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, was also involved in a separate incident when a man crashed through the gates of her Bel Air residence. The Associated Press, citing KABC-TV, reported that the "Friends" actress was at home during the event. On Valentine's Day, the home of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban was burglarized after intruders allegedly smashed their way in before looting the residence. Then months later, on July 30, an attempted burglary occurred at the Hollywood Hills home of Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Last August, the home of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson was also broken into, according to KABC. Stepheny Price is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

Column: Even in death, Aurora's beloved Christmas lady reflected a Hallmark life
Karen Bozarth was all about spreading goodwill toward men – and women and children. And not just at Christmas, her favorite holiday season, but throughout the entire year. Her last Facebook post, on July 25, in fact, was a happy reminder that Christmas was only five months away, part of her monthly countdown that was but a small indication of how much Aurora's 'Christmas Lady' loved that magical time of year. Karen, who had been battling heart issues, died in her Aurora home on Aug. 7 at age 61. But those who loved her – and there are many – take comfort in knowing she passed away enjoying one of her favorite activities: watching a Hallmark movie. While that last romantic storyline she was watching centered around Valentine's Day, Karen's favorites from this cable channel were its Christmas movies. Which makes sense as she and her husband of 31 years, Jim Bozarth, became well-known for their magnificent Christmas House, which WGN-TV featured last December. I first met Karen when I wrote a column about their holiday home in Orchard Valley subdivision, where every room was turned into a magical wonderland with 35 trees, 300 snowmen and hundreds of wreaths, figurines and yuletide mementoes. Then there was the basement, which contained 13 tables filled with a spectacular Department 56 Snow Village collection that included more than 400 buildings and over 1,000 accessories, with hundreds of moving parts, as well as a train circling the 56 separate villages. The Bozarths held an annual open house that allowed thousands of people over the years to enjoy this holiday wonderland. That's how I first met Karen, when someone told me about the display and I went to see it for myself. I certainly did not know Karen well. But it didn't matter. She was one of those people you can't forget because she exuded the kind of warmth and happiness that makes you feel as if you've known her for years. 'One of a kind' sounds so cliche, yet those words, which have been used frequently to describe Karen as the Facebook tributes began flowing, really do sum up who she was inside and out. 'There are some people who have sun inside them,' one Facebook post said. 'It's hard to explain. Their presence just brightens. It's not about their beautiful smiles. They have an internal being that sheds light and feels like sun. It's a calm energy, inner peace. But most importantly, it's not wanting anything in return. It's sun.' Other posts also talked about how special Karen was as a person. 'There will never be another like her.' 'If you knew her you loved her.' 'This woman was the light in everyone's life; the most lovely person you could ever meet.' 'She was one of God's angels put on this Earth to remind us there is still love and kindness in this world …' Karen had been battling serious health issues for a while, her husband told me, but it was a broken femur from a fall in June that forced her to take time off from a long career with Scholastic Inc. in St. Charles. She was not feeling well on Thursday but declined Jim's offer to make a trip to the emergency room, opting instead to watch a movie from her vast Hallmark channel DVD collection, where Christmas-themed narratives are the superstars. Sitting near his wife using his tablet, Jim noticed Karen had fallen asleep, only to discover a short time later she was unresponsive. As one Facebook post read: 'Heaven gained the most beautiful angel on Thursday night.' No one knows that more than 27-year-old Jordan Davis, who moved from Florida to Chicago in 2019 for job reasons and was introduced to Karen, a West Aurora High School classmate of her mom Amy who had reconnected via Facebook. 'When I first met her, I thought, is this fake? No one can be this nice. But the more I visited, the more time I spent with them, I knew it was all genuine,' she said, who now considers Karen her 'Illinois mom.' 'Over the years she has been a constant light in my life, an amazing resource,' Davis told me, adding that, unlike 'so many people you come across, there was no agenda, no hidden motive.' Christmas this year, of course, will be different for those who loved Karen. As will Davis' upcoming wedding, where she will walk down the aisle with a locket specially made for her by the woman who 'took me in' and 'loved you like you are her own.' The locket arrived on Thursday, Jim told me, but not before Karen got a chance to see how special it was. Says Davis, who received it over the weekend, 'It is even more meaningful now.' Karen Bozarth – whose funeral Mass is at 10 a.m. Aug. 13 at Holy Angels Catholic Church in Aurora – leaves behind a legion of friends and family with similar feelings and stories to share that paint a Hallmark portrait of a woman who would not only give a stranger the shirt off her back but was a whole lot of fun to hang around. Karen also leaves behind that magnificent snow village collection, which never was dismantled after she and Jim announced last December that, due to health issues, it was the display's final year. I am so glad I got the chance to view it. Even more, I'm grateful for the opportunity to have met Karen Bozarth. Just as her holiday home had to be seen to be believed, so also did this beautiful Christmas lady whose bright light brought so much joy to the world.
