After releasing Tha Carter V last October, Weezy is one of the happiest rappers alive. The project was put on hold for a number of years but was finally released on the latter part of 2018. Although it was long overdue, it was well received by fans.
The “Uproar” rap legend signed Drake to Young Money back in 2009. Since then the Young Money roster has had a decade worth of success with Drizzy, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga. While Drake and Nicki have been the biggest Young Money artist over the last 10 years, Tyga’s 2018 comeback puts him back in the conversation of successful Weezy proteges.
To start the year, Wayne is in a gift-giving mood. Drake is known as the 6 God, stemming from his hometown Toronto. Lil Wayne went to popular jeweler Elliot to get Drake a new custom “6” chain. As you can imagine, the chain is dripped in diamonds. In addition to the new chain, Drizzy recently signed a residency deal for $10 million in Las Vegas.
Elliot is a popular jeweler to all the biggest stars in the game such as Offset, Future and more. His popular hashtag #ShouldaWentToElliot is a testament to his reputation. We can’t wait to see the “Nonstop” superstar sport his new gift. Peep the custom made piece below.
OVO Sound bossDrake is out here looking like a million – er $10 million bucks. The hip-hop superstar hit up social media with a fresh shot of himself looking extra crispy.
The 6 God went to Instagram this week with a super late shot as everyone’s Man Crush Monday.

Drake is set to rake in a couple millions for his Las Vegas residency.
The Blast reports that Champagne Papi inked a $10 million deal for a residency at the XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas. He previously hinted at a residency the last time he performed at the nightclub.
“Vegas! When I came back, I thought it’d be back at T-Mobile Arena or some (stuff),” Drake said during his 30-minute set at the Wynn last Thursday (Jan. 10). “But I’ll be back here at XS all year. You’ll have a lotta chances to see me.”
The news of Drake’s residency comes after the launch of his luxury champagne, Mod Sélection, in partnership with California-based entrepreneur, Brent Hocking. Two years ago, Champagne Papi launched his Virginia Black Whiskey.
Although he hasn’t officially announced the residency hisself, the “In My Feelings” rapper posted a picture of his recent performance at the venue with a caption that reads, “New home.”

Tons of celebs showed up and showed out to Drizzy’s year-end bash at Delilah in West Hollywood, which was aptly dubbed The Mod Selection Champagne New Year’s Party. Some of the folks in attendance … LeBron, KD, Klay Thompson, Kate Beckinsale, Diddy, Nas, Chris Brown, Madison Beer, Idris Elba, and more. Interestingly enough, Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner were also at the shindig — and, perhaps, unsurprisingly … no sign of Kanye or Kim here at all. (TMZ)
Grammy-winning rapper T.I. might write his own lyrics but that doesn’t mean he turns a blind eye to dope lines from his rap peers. The King of the South went to Instagram this week to use one of Drake‘s “Nonstop” bars on a new pic.
Turnt Tuesday. It’s a day to get fully turnt SOHH why not get things going with Post Malone wanting R. Kelly‘s music pulled? Speaking of controversial topics, how about a petition going around urging Travis Scott to knee during next month’s Super Bowl LIII halftime show? With choices on your mind, who do you think Kim Kardashian would rather be stuck in an elevator with between Taylor Swift and Drake? All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
1. Pull It
Is it too much to have R. Kelly’s music pulled? Couldn’t people just choose not to listen to it? Turns out Texas hip-hop artist Post Malone is down for having Kells’ tunes fade to black on streaming sites – notably his collabos. TMZ has the footage:
Do you agree with him? Is he speaking facts? Think this will all die down soon or amplify? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. Kneel To Heal
With all the backlash Travis Scott received for agreeing to perform at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show, could he make things right again by taking a knee during the performance? Turns out there’s a major petition going around urging Scott, Maroon 5 and Big Boi to show support for Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick at next month’s championship game. Billboard has the info:
As seen on SOHH.com
Back in November, a Change.org petition demanding Maroon 5 to step down from their scheduled performance at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show garnered nearly 85,000 signatures. However, the band is officially playing at the Feb. 3 football game, and Travis Scott and Big Boi were both added to the bill. In response, the petition updated its goal: for the three performers to take a knee during their set. “I have nothing against the band, this isn’t about them and they just got caught in the crossfire,” Vic Oyedeji, founder of Unstrippedvoice and the petition’s creator told Billboard of Maroon 5. “I’m saying the only way for them to preserve their reputation is to take a knee during their set to show the hundreds of millions of people watching their solidarity with Colin Kaepernick and the players who are protesting police brutality.” (Billboard)
Could this be a huge win? Are you pulling for this to happen? Will you sign the petition? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. Choose Your Fate
What ever happened to pleading the fifth? Turns out Kim K had the pressure on her this week during an appearing of “Watch What Happens Live” and had to make the ultimate decision – who would she rather be stuck in an elevator with – Taylor Swift or Drake. Turns out both have had issues with her hubby – Kanye West – but for Kim, it seemed almost like a no-brainer. YouTube has the footage:
…
Do you believe her? Did she make the right decision? Think she’s being honest? #SOHHWhatchaThink?

It looks like 2019 is gearing up to be one hell of a year for Drake! After earning a reported 79 million on his Aubrey & The Three Migos Tour last year, Drake is still out here securing the bag! The “In My Feelings” rapper hinted at what could possibly be a Las Vegas residency during his performance last week at the XS Club in Las Vegas.
He then took to Instagram to share a photo of him performing with the caption, “new home.” According to The Las Vegas Review-Journal, sources have reported that Drake has agreed to 12 shows over two years at the Las Vegas Strip nightclub.
Drakehas been collecting bags left and right for years, and 2019 sees that trend continuing in a major way. The Boy just signed a $10 million, multi-year residency with XS Nightclub inside Las Vegas’ Wynn casino and hotel.
Sources close to the deal tell The Blast the “God’s Plan” singer recently agreed to a multi-year deal, with a minimum 10 show commitment at XS Nightclub inside the Wynn casino and hotel. We’re told the deal guarantees Drake more than $10 million dollars.
Last week the hip-hop star performed at XS during the Consumers Electronics Show and hinted at the longterm deal, telling the crowd, “I’ll be back here at XS all year. You’ll have a lot of chances to see me.”
We’re told Drake was highly sought after by many clubs in Las Vegas, as it becomes the growing trend to lock down big celebrities, like J. Lo and Lady Gaga, to residency deals. After discussions with many clubs, we’re told October’s Very Own chose XS due to its high exposure and ability to consistently bring in the biggest crowds.
Congrats to Drake and the OVO Sound squad. Check out the image of Drizzy rocking XS below.
