Nicki Minaj brings up Drake while reigniting tension with SZA
Nicki Minaj continued her public feud with singer SZA this week, making a series of controversial remarks online, including an eyebrow-raising comment about rapper Drake. The tension between the two artists stems from Minaj's suspicion that SZA supported her former manager, Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) president Terrence "Punch" Henderson, amid one of Minaj's earlier outbursts. In a now-viral tweet, shared by Akademiks TV, Minaj alleged that she was Drake's original choice to appear alongside Sexyy Red on the track 'Rich Baby Daddy' from his For All the Dogs album. 'I wonder if she know I turned down being on the 'shake dat a** for Drake' song,' Minaj wrote. 'He wanted me & Sexy on it... I said I want to wait for PF2 for me & him to do a Dricki song so it felt more special.' Nicki Minaj reveals Drake originally wanted her and Sexyy Red to be on 'Rich Baby Daddy,' but she turned the offer down, wanting her and Drake to collaborate on her album. Nicki continues violating SZA. — Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) July 17, 2025 Minaj didn't hold back, further insulting SZA with an inflammatory statement. "Now that silly goose still out here shaking dat a** for Drake every day. After swallowing his b-lls. Allegedly. Oh Mza give it up," she added. Though she did not provide evidence for the claims, the comments quickly drew attention due to their graphic and personal nature. Drake and SZA previously dated briefly in 2009, as mentioned in the 21 Savage track 'Mr. Right Now,' according to Complex. SZA has not directly responded to the latest accusations but recently addressed Minaj's earlier insults, writing on X, 'I don't give a fck bout none of that weird sht you popping... Y'all have blessed night!' Minaj also directed criticism at other industry figures this week, including Jay-Z and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez. She even contacted the FBI after interpreting comments made by TDE affiliate MackWop as a potential threat during a livestream.

[Watch]: Kevin Durant Goes Viral for Vibing to Drake's 'No Face' at Wireless Festival
Kevin Durant (Image via Getty) NBA superstar Kevin Durant recently captured the internet's attention after a video surfaced of him enjoying himself at the Wireless Festival in London. The Houston Rockets forward was spotted grooving to Drake 's live performance of 'No Face,' a track that includes a shoutout to Durant in the lyric: 'KD just text me, WTF are we waiting on, damn.' Kevin Durant's relaxed presence among the crowd, moving effortlessly with the rhythm, resonated with fans and showcased the genuine camaraderie between the basketball icon and the Canadian rapper. Their relationship goes beyond public appearances and mutual admiration. Durant notably featured in Drake's music video for 'Laugh Now Cry Later,' and holds A&R and executive producer credits on the rapper's 2023 album For All the Dogs. In 2022, Drake even referred to Durant as his 'executive producer,' a title that solidified their creative connection. Their history of public moments stretches back to 2016, when Kevin Durant made a surprise on-stage appearance during Drake's concert at Oracle Arena. Drake, known for referencing athletes in his lyrics, has name-dropped Durant multiple times over the years. In 'Weston Road Flows,' he rapped: 'Shout out to KD, we relate, we get the same attention,'—a line Durant once said caught him off guard when he first heard it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dementia Has Been Linked To a Common Habit. Do You Do It? Memory Health Learn More Undo Jay-Z also mentioned Durant in 'Crown' with the line: 'It's a new day, hit up KD,' which Durant found particularly impactful after signing with Roc Nation. Kevin Durant has acknowledged being referenced by other major hip-hop artists as well, including J. Cole, Fabolous, and Logic, all of whom have used his name to symbolize excellence and relevance. Despite a momentary tension during the 2019 NBA Finals—where Durant's Golden State Warriors faced off against Drake's beloved Toronto Raptors —the two have maintained a strong mutual respect and lasting friendship. Durant's latest festival appearance comes during heightened attention on Drake, who is currently embroiled in a lyrical feud with Kendrick Lamar. That rivalry saw fellow NBA star LeBron James attending Lamar's 'Pop Out' concert, where several diss tracks targeting Drake were performed. This led to online speculation that LeBron might be distancing himself from Drake, especially after Kevin Durant posted a photo from Drake's music video set. The post was misinterpreted as Durant choosing sides, prompting him to clarify on social media that he wasn't taking part in the drama.

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.

Drake Beats Taylor Swift On The Albums Chart With Multiple Comebacks
Drake and Taylor Swift often trade places when it comes to which artist claims the most real estate on the Billboard 200. Sometimes it's the hip-hop superstar, while at other times, the singer-songwriter takes the crown. This frame, Drake occupies the most spots on the ranking of the biggest full-lengths and EPs in the U.S. — but not by much. He edges out the female powerhouse by just one placement, as two of his projects return to the tally. A pair of Drake albums bounce back onto the Billboard 200 this week, landing almost side by side. Thank Me Later returns at No. 187 on the 200-spot ranking, which blends sales and streaming activity. More Life follows close behind at No. 189. According to Luminate, just 10 equivalent units separate the two titles. Both collections moved between 8,480 and 8,500 equivalent units in the past tracking frame, with pure sales making up a tiny fraction of those numbers. One managed almost 20 pure purchases, while the other didn't even crack double digits. Drake lays claim to eight positions on the Billboard 200 this week. Most of his collections are climbing, while a handful remain steady. His collaborative set with PartyNextDoor, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, is still his highest-rising effort. That's unsurprising, as it's only been on the roster for 10 weeks, and it is still being promoted with a slew of big singles. That project holds at No. 5. Another reliable performer, For All the Dogs, is stationary at No. 93. Meanwhile, Take Care lifts to No. 40, Views rises to No. 79, Certified Lover Boy ascends to No. 101, and Scorpion moves up to No. 134. Taylor Swift fills seven spaces on the Billboard 200 this frame – just one fewer than Drake. In most weeks, that would be more than enough for her to dominate, but the rapper's resurgence gives him the edge this time around. Swift appears on the list with The Tortured Poets Department (No. 11), Lover (No. 52), Folklore (No. 64), Midnights (No. 65), 1989 (Taylor's Version) (No. 70), Reputation (No. 115) and Red (Taylor's Version) (No. 159).
