Drake's Manchester gig cancelled due to 'travel logistics' issues
Drake has cancelled his gig at Manchester's Co-op Live arena due to "travel logistics" issues. The Hotline Bling rapper had been set to play at the venue in Manchester on Monday (28.07.25) but the performance has now been rescheduled for August 5 and organisers say "all tickets remain valid for the new date". Drake had already played two shows in the city on Friday (25.07.25) and Saturday (26.07.25) as part of his Some Special Shows 4 U tour and is also due to stage another gig at the arena on August 4. A statement on the arena's website read: "Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow's performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled." It added: "The good news is that Drake will now perform in Manchester on Tuesday, August 5th, and it's set to be an unforgettable night." Meanwhile, Drake recently dropped a new single with British rapper Central Cee ahead of his shows in Manchester. The track – titled Which One – was revealed in an episode of the Canadian rapper's Iceman stream that was broadcast last Thursday (24.07.25) and filmed around the city. It featured scenes of Drake running from a pursuer in a Pinocchio mask – which was interpreted as a symbol for "lies" following the star around. He previously teamed up with Central Cee for the 2023 song On the Radar Freestyle. Drake had hinted at the collaboration during the second of his three headline performances at London's Wireless festival earlier this month – where he brought Central Cee out on stage. He told the crowd: "I'm so proud of this guy. "He's going around the world, killing it, shutting down every show, record after record." Drake also hailed other rappers from the UK during the festival, where he headlined all three nights. The God's Plan hitmaker said: "Nobody can out-rap London rappers. This is the best, this is the highest level." Drake revealed earlier this year that he is working on a new solo album and has promised that it will be "a slap". He said: "Thank you to everybody that's streaming the album. Every time, every journey. Working on a new album, it's a slap." Asked if it's a solo record, he replied: "Yeah."

Drake and Bobbi Althoff fallout explained as the duo rekindles their friendship two years after dating rumours and podcast drama
Drake and Bobbi Althoff's relationship started with major internet attention when the rapper appeared on The Really Good Podcast in July 2023. The awkward, dry-toned banter between them went viral almost instantly, helping Bobbi skyrocket from a niche TikToker to one of the most talked-about podcast hosts online. For many, it was the first time seeing the Hotline Bling appear in such a stripped-down, casual setting and it worked. Why did Bobbi Althoff delete her Drake podcast episode? But just as fans were rewatching clips on loop, the full video mysteriously vanished. Bobbi deleted the Drake episode only a month after it aired, and no real explanation was given. That decision quickly fuelled speculation online, with many assuming some kind of behind-the-scenes drama had gone down between the two. Theories about a fallout started circulating on social media, made worse when Bobbi was reportedly kicked out of Drake's SXSW afterparty for showing up without an invite. The duo also ended up unfollowing each other on social media, sparking further speculations. Bobbi Althoff & Drake unfollowed each other on instagram and she seems to have deleted any content from her Drake interview on socials. 🤔 When Bobbi sparked Drake dating rumours after divorce filing The timeline only got messier. In February 2024, Bobbi Althoff filed for divorce from her husband, Cory, with whom she shares two daughters, while also revealing that they had separated in July 2023. That's the exact same month her interview with Drake dropped, leading fans to connect dots that may or may not be real. Romance rumours flooded TikTok and Reddit, but Bobbi was quick to shut them down. She even posted a private DM exchange with Barstool's Dave Portnoy, writing, 'I did not want to do this podcast in the first place, and now so much negativity is coming from it.' Bobbi Althoff shuts down Drake romance speculation—sort of Despite the rumours, both Bobbi and Drake stayed publicly silent about each other for months. The only hint of closure came during a January 2024 interview with Keke Palmer, where Bobbi briefly addressed her experience with the rapper. 'He's a very nice person,' she said, offering neither confirmation nor denial, just a neutral statement that didn't add much to the mystery. Drake tells Bobbi to 'unblock' him in surprise Instagram comment Then came a surprising twist. Recently, Bobbi shared a screenshot of a comment Drake left on one of her Instagram posts: 'UNBLOCK MY NAME FROM YOUR COMMENTS.' Her dry response? 'I'll consider it.' While no one knows why his name was blocked to begin with, the interaction was enough to get fans speculating all over again. It's unclear if the comment was serious or playful, but it was the first public acknowledgement between the two in years, suggesting maybe their alleged beef is cooling off. Who is Bobbi Althoff? Bobbi Althoff is a social media personality and podcast host best known for her deadpan interview style and rapid rise to fame. Originally gaining popularity on TikTok for her satirical 'mom content,' she pivoted into podcasting in 2023 and quickly went viral thanks to interviews with celebrities like Drake, Lil Yachty, and Offset. Her show, The Really Good Podcast, has since become one of the internet's most discussed platforms for awkward celebrity interactions.

Former ‘Summer House' Star Lexi Wood Dishes on Drake Dating Rumors
Former Bravolebrity Lexi Wood is getting real about her dating history. During an appearance on Gia Guidice's Casual Chaos podcast, Lexi was asked about romance rumors with rapper Drake. Yes, the one known for hits like 'Headlines' and 'Hotline Bling.' 'I need to know, are any of the Drake rumors true? I feel like they have to be. You're from Canada and you're so hot,' Gia, aka the daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Theresa Giudice, asked Lexi during the July 21 episode. The model and influencer, who joined Summer House for only one season last year, explained that any chatter about her dating the five-time Grammy winner has only come from other people. 'I think that being even put out there by anyone but me and him was insane. It definitely was not that person's place to say anything,' Lexi said. 'But I will say, he's amazing and I'm really lucky to know him, and he is so talented, so sweet, comes from such a great family, has great friends.' The clarification comes after Lexi's ex, Jesse Solomon, alluded to her alleged past relationship with the rapper during an interview on the Chicks in the Office podcast, when he said, 'When you're going for a girl that's dated Drake, you're not going to, like, get her by playing it cool.' 'I was just sent it a billion times, and I was like, 'First of all, why would you say that? Why would you say something about my…' Lexi said of his comment. 'I think like everything that you enter, whether it's a friendship, relationship, whatever, there's just like you're figuring it out, like, you're not going to go and post it all over.' She added, 'I just felt like it was very distasteful.' Dating rumors between Lexi and Drake are not entirely far-fetched as they both hail from Toronto and Lexi has reportedly had a string of famous exes. She was romantically linked to Brooklyn Beckham in April 2018. In November 2022, she sparked engagement rumors with Kaia Gerber's older brother, Presley Gerber, before they called it quits the following month. The Summer House alum previously dispelled rumors with the 'NOKIA' rapper during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in January. When asked about the timeline of her reported fling, Lexi awkwardly laughed it off before sipping her drink and saying, 'Can I, like, take a sip and pass this one or something?' Well, that's that on that.
