Did Drake take dig at Kendrick Lamar? Internet says ‘not again' as rapper drops new single What Did I Miss
In the livestream, Drake drove a van around Toronto, aka the Iceman truck, with merchandise and branding all around it. The video features Drake rapping about his life and close people, but only a little insight into the album itself.
Interestingly, some fans spotted the same van from the video out on the streets, sparking buzz online.
The biggest moment from Drake's livestream was the surprise drop of his new single titled, What Did I Miss. The track, featuring his signature blend of rap and melody, seemingly included fresh digs at Kendrick Lamar. In one line, Drake raps: 'I saw bro in the Pop Out with them but been dckriding gang since Headlines,' easily referring to Kendrick's Pop Out concert held in Los Angeles on Juneteenth 2024.
The lyrics seem to call out Kendrick directly, tying back to the early days of their ongoing feud, which escalated even more after Kendrick released Not Like Us. The Grammy-winning track included explosive accusations, including allegations that Drake is a paedophile.
Meanwhile, the internet is filled with mixed reactions to the new single.
A user commented on the post about Drake's lyrics, 'Bro still yapping bout Kendrick? Who keeping who relevant (sic).'
'Don't wake him back up boy (sic),' added another. One more said, 'Why doesn't he just say their name LMAO (sic).'
Many also claimed that this time the rapper might be taking an indirect shot at his once friend, LeBron James.
'Hopefully he not talking about Bron, he literally got tatted (sic),' said yet another user.
Someone wrote, 'Not this sh*t again bro got owned by Kendrick lol.'
Meanwhile, Drake is yet to share more details about his upcoming album.
On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar and LeBron James are yet to publicly react to the song.

Meet producer of Akshay Kumar's Rs 300 crore box office disaster, has built and sold 45 buildings in Mumbai, owns a two-acre studio in London, he is…
Meet producer of Akshay Kumar's Rs 300 crore box office disaster, has built and sold 45 buildings in Mumbai, owns a two-acre studio in London, he is… In the unpredictable world of Bollywood, fame is always fleeting. While one picture can turn an actor into an overnight star, continuous failures at the box office can also jeopardize careers. But sometimes it's not the star but often the people behind the camera who find themselves at the centre of controversy due to multiple box office failures. One such similar tale is of Vashu Bhagnani, who has witnessed repeated disappointment with Akshay Kumar at the box office. Even though Akshay has stayed afloat, the producer Vashu Bhagnani has reportedly hit his rock bottom after back-to-back flops made under his banner. Actor Akshay Kumar and Vashu Bhagnani have witnessed a hard run in the past with several flops to their name. Recently, Akshay Kumar's latest film, Housefull 5, did decently well, but the film had a massive star cast to share the credit for the success. Before that, Kesari Chapter 2, did moderately well, as did the action movie Sky Force. But neither of them was a hit. Before this, several of his films made under Vashu Bhagnani's Pooja Entertainment failed at the box office, like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (BMCM), Mission Raniganj, and Bell Bottom. Vashu Bhagnani at the centre of controversy Pooja Entertainment hasn't delivered a major hit in decades. As per the reports, BMCM was made on a whopping budget of Rs. 300 crores; however, it only earned Rs. 100 crores. Many people who worked for BMCM have claimed that they haven't received money for their services yet. Another film, Ganapath, made under the same banner, also turned out to be a big flop, earning less than Rs. 20 crore. Some members claimed they hadn't been paid, and rumours swirled that Bhagnani was facing bankruptcy. Vashu Bhagnani in Real Estate and More In a recent YouTube interview, Vashu Bhagnani spoke about backlash and revealed the truth about his business ventures. 'I went to London in 2018, and I wondered what to do. So, I bought a building in Mayfair. Then, I made five or six movies there… I'm a developer. I don't believe in making money by investing your own money in projects. I make buildings like I make films… I'm the only person from Bollywood who has set up a studio in London. We have two floors with 60-foot high ceilings. It's a two-acre property, I have a VFX set-up there, I have vanity vans there.' He further added, 'I can't even speak English properly. When I was going to London, my daughter told me, 'What will you do there? You can't even speak English properly, and you won't understand what they're saying. I said, 'Let me try'. As soon as I landed, I set up a studio there. I made two buildings, and I made six films in five years. I used to make one building and one film, one building and one film. I've made 45 buildings in Mumbai so far, and they've all been sold. But I never sold the IP of my films. I still own my movies…' Addressing bankruptcy rumours, he said, 'I was very upset by those stories. Imagine that I was actually bankrupt and I'd sold off my building. If I had actually sold it off, it would've been to pay people back, right? What's wrong with that? I'm not a corporate employee, I'm doing business. If I suffer a loss, I will have to make up for it. But people spun this into a negative story. They said I've run away, that I don't have money for food, that I couldn't even afford flight tickets.' Despite the setbacks in film, Bhagnani is active in his business and his film IPs. His story is a reminder that in Bollywood, the truth is always more than what meets the eye.

Getting threats to take down revelation about negative campaign against Kartik Aaryan in Bollywood, says podcast host
Singer Amaal Mallik's recent appearance on a podcast made quite a few headlines, when he spoke about a 'negative PR campaign' against actor Kartik Aaryan in Bollywood. The singer-composer said that people were trying to bring down Kartik, just like how they had done with the late Sushant Singh Rajput. Now, the host of the podcast has claimed they are getting threats to take the episode down because of the revelation. Kartik Aaryan is currently enjoying the most successful phase of his career. What Amaal Mallik said In a chat with Mirchi Plus on their podcast, Amaal said that Sushant lost his life as 'this industry did something — whether to his mind, his soul, or people around him demoralised him'. He then added, "And today, you can see that people are trying the same things, directly or indirectly, with Kartik Aaryan as well. He too has come out of similar problems—dancing his way through them—but he has the support and guidance of his parents. He is also a newcomer who came in, did his part, usko bhi 100 log hatane ki firaak main hain (now a hundred people are waiting to remove him), playing power games. Big producers, big actors — all of them do it." The podcast host talks about threats The podcast episode was made live on YouTube on Thursday. On Saturday, Gaurav Thakur, the host, took to his Instagram Stories, saying that he was getting threats to take the episode down. "I've been receiving threat calls asking me to take down the Amaal Mallik podcast because of the revelations he made." He clarified in his note that the conversation was 'unscripted and completely impromptu'. He added that 'this is not a PR move by Kartik Aaryan or his team', and asserted that the podcast will not be taken down. Gaurav also thanked Amaal Mallik and Kartik Aaryan's fans for supporting him. The internet reacts After the screengrab of his note was shared on Reddit, where Kartik Aaryan fans rallied behind the actor as well as the podcast. One comment read, "They want him gone so that they can run their family business." Another added, "I mean what Amaal said, is not really a secret. Everyone knows that by now. But still some feathers got ruffled really bad here." One fan wished Kartik well, writing, "This is scary.. these movie guys are real mafias, bloody jerks 😡 you gutsy boy Kartik, May God always protect you and bless you with huge success." Kartik Aaryan's dream run Over the last three years, Kartik Aaryan has enjoyed the most successful phase of his career, with the box office success of the two Bhool Bhulaiyaa sequels and Satyaprem Ki Katha. Chandu Champion did not work at the box office, but earned him critical acclaim. The only blemish on his record since 2022 has been the disappointing returns of the action comedy Shehzada. The actor will be next seen in a musical romance opposite Sreeleela.

Song Hye Kyo reveals director tried to confiscate her passport after sensing she wanted to escape: ‘I was stuck for three years'
K-drama star Song Hye Kyo, whose career trajectory shifted massively in the past few years—from soft love stories to revenge-driven themes and darker roles, recently appeared for a rare one-hour interview on musician Jung Jae Hyung's YouTube show. During the interaction, she recalled a nearly decade-old incident during the filming of the Chinese biographical movie Grandmaster, where she was stuck in the project for almost three years. And even when Song wanted out, director Wong Kar Wai made sure she couldn't leave. During the interview, the host asked Song Hye Kyo about her early experience working outside Korea, steering the conversation to her 2013 movie Grandmaster. Song shared that back then, China was witnessing a massive Korean wave, and when she visited the country, she ended up meeting a lot of industry people. Director Wong Kar Wai, who was planning to visit Korea to promote one of his films, approached her and asked if she'd like to hangout for a lunch. That's how they became acquaintances. At some point, Wong offered her a role, saying, 'This might be short, but you'll like it.' Out of curiosity, and to understand what a Chinese set and director's style looked like, Song agreed. 'I thought it would be better to go and learn something rather than sit idle,' she said. Also read: Song Hye-kyo says she is 'happy' amid speculation surrounding Song Joong-ki's new relationship: 'I see the world in white…' She continued, 'I went… and then I was tied up for three years,' before adding, 'I barely even appeared in the shoot.' Song playfully remarked that no one, not even the cast, knew she was in the film, her screen time was that minimal. She recalled having so much free time on set that she'd play badminton with the staff all day and spend the rest of it lounging in her hotel room, wondering when her next shoot would be. The delay was probably because of the director's reputation for his time-consuming craft. During her free time, Song Hye Kyo said she would return to Korea, only to instantly receive a call asking her to fly back for a shoot. But once she arrived, she'd have to wait another week or so, and that's when the frustration kicked in. 'I want to leave. I don't want to be here,' she remembered thinking. She also recalled how the director somehow sensed she was ready to escape. One day, Song's interpreter, who was close to the director, got called in and was asked, 'Who has Hye-kyo's passport? Is it with Hye-kyo or you?' When the interpreter said it was with her, the director replied, 'Quickly get it from her. It seems she's going to slip back to Korea soon.' He told the interpreter not to return it until the shoot wrapped. Song laughed while recalling the moment, saying, 'That's basically how the filming went.' Also read: Song Hye-kyo in That Winter, The Wind Blows: An underrated gem, which outshone her role in Descendants of the Sun Grandmaster was a 10-minute-long film where Song Hye Kyo appeared for just 6 minutes. The movie starred Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen, and Zhao Benshan.
