Sunday night (Aug. 28) was one of the biggest nights for MTV, the MTV Video Music Awards!
The night start with the big preshow filled with appearances and great fashion on the white carpet from Britney Spears, The Chainsmokers, Beyoncé, and more, as well as hot performances by artists like Alessia Cara, Jidenna, and Lukas Graham.
Of course, it was great to see different artists take home Moonmen, but the most exciting part of these shows are always the performances! This year's lineup was absolutely crazy...probably the most excited I'd been for the VMAs in a while. With Britney, Bey, Rihanna, Kanye West, and more hitting the stage, it definitely made for a pretty good (though LONG) night!
MTV has announced the nominees for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards!
To no one's surprise, Beyoncé topped everyone scoring a career high of 11 nominations all for her visual album, Lemonade! Adele received 8 nods for her videos for her hits "Hello" and "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)," while Drake was behind her with 6 noms, attributed to his hit "Hotline Bling" as well as fire collaboration with Rihanna on "Work!"
Rihanna has officially released her music video for "Work," featuring Drake, and surprise! It's a double feature!
The singer dropped two different versions of the video in the same clip for fans. The first version of the video, which was teased last week, features Rihanna and Drake at a party dancing to the reggae track with other partygoers. The second version, which plays immediately after, is a simpler version with just Ri and Drake dancing and performing in front of the camera.
More legal trouble for Drake? According to TMZ, a Hollywood jeweler, Michael Raphael (owner of Baden Baden Inc), is suing the rapper for allegedly creation copies of his almost $50,000 owl pendant for Drake's own crew! The owl pendant is one that Drake rocks a lot.
Raphael claims that his company was hired to make Drake this custom diamond and platinum pendant back in January, which was paid for by Drake for $49,204. Six months later, Raphael saw copied gold designs of the pendants on Drake's Instagram account (these celebs stay getting in trouble with their social media accounts!).
Well that was quick! Days after premiering his new song "Started From The Bottom," Drake has already released the visual! Directed by Director X, the video takes the audience through Drake's journey from a kid til now, rising from the bottom to get to the top!
***Explicit Content***
Drake has officially released his new single from his upcoming third album. Titled "Started From The Bottom," Drake raps about his journey from living at home with his mom to making it big in the rap industry. He also gave his fans a letter on his site talking about his return to music, showing us all that he's still around and has more in store for us this year and beyond.
Chris Brown apparently got a pretty nasty cut on his chin from a bottle thrown allegedly after his entourage clashed with Drake’s friends in a club.
The NYPD confirmed to TMZ that the crews got into a fight at WIP Nightclub in NYC with 5 people being injured, one of them being Chris. The police got to the scene after getting a call between 4 and 5 a.m., but neither Chris and Drake were there when the cops showed up. No arrests were made.
"And all you bitches that be hating can catch the bouquet."-Drake
Ok, I really like Nicki, and I'm glad that "Moment For Life" was the next single off of Pink Friday. Definitely one of my favorite tracks. MTV premiered the video about a half hour ago.
I'm not gonna tell you the whole video treatment. What I will say is that the fashion is hot, Drake and Nicki really would make a cute couple, and watch out for a fairy godmother named Martha haha! Bravo Nicki. And Drake, sexy as always ;) Signed, a fan since you was just a yellow boy that used to play up on Degrassi. Watch the video below!
"Just like you, I get lonely too." Drake has dropped the first track from his upcoming R&B (yes R&B) mixtape It's Never Enough. Real chill R&B record. I love Drake's voice. I mean, he's no Usher or Ginuwine lol but he can still hold a note. His music makes me smile :) Listen to "I Get Lonely" below!
Hahaha ok edit. It's a joke. I knew it probably was. But I mean, THINK. What if they ever did one day? Imagine Mrs. Onika Graham rocking a ring, walking down red carpets with Drake. Would be an interesting site. Back in my heyday, I might have killed Nicki LOL, but I have since moved on. So one day, maybe they might do it. After all Drake loves Nicki Minaj....he did admit it haha
Well yall know the song, so watch the video! Just premiered tonight. I like this song a lot, but I want Drake to release "Fancy" already!!!!! That's the video I'm really ready for, but this one was ok. Just a bunch of performance shots, with the random dancer in there. And guess they shot Weezy's part before he went in. SMART! You know instead of having "FREE_____" shirts in your videos. Shoot them rapping before they go in if you're gonna do a video for the song. Lesson to the industry.
Hey yall, sorry I missed you yesterday. Laziness is NOT GOOD! But I'm here. This inside look actually came out last week, but because I love this song, I had to put up this sneak peek of Drake's music video for "Fancy," featuring T.I. and Swizz Beatz. LOL at T.I. Man, I can't wait for this video! New ladies anthem...
Morning yall...Happy Thursday! To my working folk, one more day til the weekend yall, just keep pressing :)
According to NYDailyNews.com, yet another free outdoor Drake concert has been cancelled. ABC was going to host Drake for a July 16th performance on "Good Morning America" as a part of their summer concert series, which has hosted Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, and the Jonas Brothers. The concert idea in Central Park was scrapped after the NYPD determined the security plan wasn't up to par. This is the second time a Drake concert has been canceled in NY in the past month. As we all know, Drake's June 15 free concert to celebrate the release of Thank Me Later at South Street Seaport was canceled after things got a little crazy with 25,000 fans showing up.
To me, this just shows the amount of love and support people got for him. Sucks he probably won't ever be able to do something like that though. A free concert in Central Park is a great idea. It's just too much hype around him for him to safely perform, I feel, unless there's HEAVY security. Ten or fifteen security guards around the perimeter ain't really gonna cut it.
Ok, so there's this unsigned group that's huge on YouTube named Ahmir! They do covers of popular songs, and have a few of their own that they post up on YouTube. My friend got me hooked on them earlier in the year. So I saw their cover of Drake's "Find Your Love" that they posted yesterday. I swear, I love them. Their voices...mmmmm...THEIR VOICES! I might have to start posting them from time to time for yall. Check out the cover below!
Yeah, ok so I love Drake. I loved him when he was Jimmy on Degrassi credited as Aubrey Graham, and when I watched a mini documentary on him and his life, and saw his lyrical ability, I knew he would be a hot rapper. And he is. People are really starting to see that. It's good to see him pursuing his passion and doing a really great job of it. And "Best I Ever Had" is a hot song! Love it!
But this video....this video....Oh Kanye (the director)...Oh Drake... yeah maybe next time it will be a tad bit better.
But as I was writing this, I found an explanation of the video by Drake which makes some sense: "The concept of the video is, I'm a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team," he explained. "Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don't take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning." I guess I see what he's saying...BUT STILL!!! LOL
Yeah, I'm sorry but that COULD NOT have been comfortable with those girls having their breasts all out and those booty shorts on trying to play ball. I played sports in high school. You gotta have everything secure in the upper area cuz looseness will definitely not work LOL and HELLO? Wedgies! I know they were feeling them that day....
The video had its funny moments though... Drake: "I don't know what is happening here. Our team is just falling apart. Take that D like the champions that you are!" Girl: "But Drake, all you ever taught us how to do was STRETCH!" Drake: "That's-That's an essential part of the game and that's why I focused so much time on that."
LMAO!!!! I was dying laughing at that!!! I'm still a big fan, Drake. I understand your concept, but next time you gotta come better! Love you though.
Oh, and can somebody tell me what in the world was that mascot in the beginning? I'm thinking it was a bird, but it looked like a bear in the face! I'm so confused! Somebody please enlighten me LOL!
