Drake Cosigns Tokischa As She Finishes U.S. Tour In Miami

Drake linked up with Tokischa, after the Dominican artist’s final stop on her U.S. tour in Miami, Florida. The two posed for a photo together that has since been shared on social media.

Tokischa has been performing in the country on her Popola Tour since August. She’s had sold-out shows in Las Vegas, LA, Boston, Houston, and Atlanta.

One source for Page Six who was in attendance told the outlet: “It was a group of around 25 people or so,” adding that they “headed to a massive VIP section.”

“After, Tokischa finished she headed over to Drake’s section to hang with him,” they added. “They were drinking bottles of Don Julio 1942 and E11EVEN Vodka.”

Rauw Alejandro, Rosalia, Lil Pump, and Klay Thompson were also there, according to the source. At one point, Travis Scott and Future pulled up to the venue.

“When Travis arrived, he joined DJ Chase B in the DJ booth … The place went nuts as Travis stood on top of the booth to perform,” the source said.

Drake’s appearance in Miami comes just a day after he was in New Orleans to perform with Lil Wayne at the Lil WeezyAna Fest. Drake did “In My Feelings,” “God’s Plan,” and more.

One issue Drake had with Wayne’s event was the lack of the song, “Mrs. Officer.”

“I wanna say one more fucking thing, because I was a little thrown off tonight,” Drake said on the stage. “‘Cause you know, back in the day before I was Drake, I was Aubrey off Degrassi, right? And I used to be standing side stage and when ‘Mrs. Officer’ came on, Lil Wayne used to call me on stage to sing Bobby part and he used to call me Jimmy Valentino. I feel like I should have sang ‘Mrs. Officer’ tonight, I’m just saying.”

Check out a photo of Drake and Tokischa together below.

Post Malone Helps Fans With Gender Reveal During Tulsa Concert: Watch

Post Malone is known for being one of the kindest artists in the world when it comes to how he interacts with his fans. From endless autographs to bringing them up on stage to play guitar with him, the “Congratulations” artist never fails to give his concert members the experience of a lifetime.

During a recent performance in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Malone once again took the time to sign autographs while on stage. One of the many he obliged had an envelope attached to it, which fans were screaming at the singer to open.

After realizing the envelope contained a gender reveal for the couple, the rockstar turned his back to the crowd as he opened the letter. He then spun around, wide-eyed with excitement, before announcing that the couple will be having a baby girl.

The parents were ecstatic, along with the nearby fans that were also able to partake in the special moment. The video ends with Malone telling the soon-to-be father, “You’re gonna be a girl-dad!” The couple later posted a clip of the entire interaction on their TikTok.

Part of the 27-year-old’s excitement may have stemmed from the fact that he himself recently became a “girl-dad.”

The “Circles” singer first made the announcement during an appearance on Howard Stern’s show back in June. At the time, he talked about spending large amounts of time in the studio and mentioned how he had just left from “kissing his baby girl.” Stern, assuming the man was referring to his fiance, asked Malone to clarify.

“Nah, that’s my daughter,” he responded ever casually.

This new development in Post’s private life has certainly made his career more taxing as he learns how to juggle his professional life with the responsibilities of being a father. That said, he has been handling it expertly and is currently on tour with “The Box” hitmaker Roddy Ricch for his Twelve Carat Toothache Tour.

While he hasn’t yet shared his daughter’s name, Malone did recently get a new face tattoo that some are speculating provides a clue as to what her moniker may be – read more about that here.

Blueface Responds To Chrisean Rock’s Injuries & Allegations

The tumultuous relationship between Blueface and Chrisean Rock has been a cause for concern. The young couple has been labeled as “toxic” by the masses as their ongoing fights—often physical—unravel on social media stages. The pair have been going strong, somewhat, for years after Chrisean appeared on the rapper’s online reality series, but their romance has been anything but happily ever after.

The ups and downs of Blueface and Chrisean’s relationship have been heavily documented as videos often appear online of their interactions. From sex tapes to public brawls on the street, this romance has been an ongoing talking point. There have even been artists who praised Blue and Rock, even amid backlash over them fighting one another.

Most recently, Halloween celebrations were interrupted when Chrisean surfaced on Instagram Live, this time showing off injuries she said were from Blueface. According to Rock in the widely circulated clip, the rapper punched her in her face, gave her a black eye, and split her lip.

The backlash was swift as people demanded that outlets stop covering the couple, but Rock returned with an explanation—and to accept responsibility.

“Sorry guys I had a mental breakdown/bad trip with the liquor trynna jump out of a moving car on freeway [praying hands emoji],” she wrote in an update. “I will be working on my mental health n liquor habits.” This isn’t the first time that Chrisean has blamed alcohol for her or Blueface’s physical altercations.

— SAY CHEESE! (@SaycheeseDGTL) October 30, 2022

After days of pushback, Blueface offered his take on what occurred.

“Idk how y’all by passing her tryna jump out a moving car on the hwy in Gary indiana a little bloody nose an lip is save compared to the injuries she would have really sustained,” he tweeted. “Pray for rocks mental health if you actually care she’s perfectly fine physically.”

“Tryna hold rock down is a bull ride she ain’t no weak b*tch clearly y’all ain’t watched her go against baddies south security.”

Still, the reactions to the couple’s latest antics have been critical. There have been rumors that Blueface and Chrisean are filming a reality show of their own for Zeus, and people have demanded that the network scrap the series before it sees the light of day.

Check out Blueface’s tweets below.

Sixers Hit With Stiff Punishment After Tampering Investigation

Tampering is something that every NBA team is guilty of. We know this because a slew of player contracts are announced as soon as free agency begins. Technically, teams cannot talk to players before the free agency period. Yet, they all have their contracts finalized at 6 PM on free agency day.

It just goes to show that the NBA’s rules against tampering don’t actually work. Everyone understands how to play the game, and for the most part, the NBA doesn’t do anything to stop. However, if players or teams somehow snitch on themselves, then the NBA opens up an investigation in the name of integrity.

Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images

That is exactly what happened with the Philadelphia 76ers and PJ Tucker. It became very clear that Tucker was going to sign with the Sixers, and we knew this prior to his official signing. That said, the NBA had to launch an investigation. They also brought Danuel House into the mix, as he also signed with the Sixers.

In the end, the NBA revealed in a statement that they had found the Sixers guilty as charged. As a result of these tampering infractions, the Sixers must now relinquish their second-round draft picks in the 2023 and 2024 drafts. Draft compensation can hurt you deeply, and the Sixers are finding that out.

Of course, there are a lot of teams out there who simply do not care about second-round picks. The Sixers had to give up a few picks to get James Harden, so now, their next few drafts will be barren. As it turns out, the Sixers have responded to the report with a statement of their own.

“The Philadelphia 76ers fully cooperated with the NBA’s investigation and acknowledge the league’s ruling. We’re moving forward, focused on the season ahead,” they said.

The team also issued a statement in the wake of the ruling:

This will act as a deterrent for any future instances of very obvious tampering. Regardless, teams will continue to talk to players prior to free agency, and there is nothing they can do to really change that.

Ye’s Lawyers Plan To Withdraw From “Donda 2” Lawsuit, Say They Can’t Reach Him: Report

Ye might need to find some new attorneys in the near future. According to AllHipHop, the lawyers representing the Yeezy founder in a lawsuit surrounding an unauthorized sample on Donda 2 have not been able to reach him. In response, they’ve requested to be withdrawn from the case.

Ultra International Music Publishing filed a lawsuit against Ye after the artist used an unauthorized sample of Marshall Jefferson’s “Move Your Body” on the song “Flowers.” The Chicago rapper-producer is accused of sampling the record over 20 times on the song without receiving the necessary permission.

Though “Flowers” isn’t widely accessible for streaming, it was sold along with the STEM player that reportedly moved up to 11,000 units on its first day. Ye claimed that he brought in over $2M in the first 24 hours of the STEM Player’s release.

The lawsuit might turn out to be costly, especially since his attorneys claim he hasn’t responded to their calls. At this point, he might get hit with a default judgment.

“Due to recent events and Ye’s counsel’s inability to reach Ye or his representatives, Ye’s counsel intends to seek withdrawal as counsel,” UIMP’s lawyer Bradley J. Mullins said.

Ye brought on Greenberg Traurig LLP to represent him in the case earlier this year. However, it seems like there’s a possibility things could work out for him in the long run. His lawyers are in informal discussions to settle the case outside of the courtroom. If that isn’t successful, they might still be able to reach a resolution with the help of a mediator.

Ye’s found himself getting dropped by law firms left and right since making anti-Semitic comments on social media. Brown Rudnick, Pryor Cashman, Cadwalader, and Quinn Emanuel have all called it quits on Ye in the last week. Greenberg Traurig LLP could potentially pull through for Ye but by the way, he’s moving these days, it doesn’t seem like he cares too much.

Spurs Release Josh Primo Following Allegations That He Exposed Himself To Women

Things have shaken up in Texas after it was announced that the Spurs released Josh Primo following troublesome allegations. Primo is a newer name to the league, but both he and the San Antonio team looked forward to a promising future. However, those plans were thwarted after the 19-year-old faced accusations of exposing himself to multiple women.

This came as a shock, especially considering ESPN reported that the Spurs “had recently picked up the $4.3 million 2023-24 option on Primo’s contract.”

(Photo by Ronald Cortes/Getty Images)

It was also stated over the weekend that one of the women who put forth accusations against Primo has retained an attorney, Tony Buzbee. If his name looks familiar, it is because Buzbee also worked with several of the women who filed lawsuits against Deshaun Watson during his sexual misconduct scandal.

“I know that you all are surprised by today’s announcement,” Primo said in a statement. “I’ve been seeking help to deal with previous trauma I suffered and will now take this time to focus on my mental health treatment more fully. I hope to be able to discuss these issues in the future so I can help others who have suffered in a similar way. I appreciate privacy at this time.”

This scandal doesn’t mean that other teams aren’t still eyeing the teen baller; it has been reported that Primo may not be out for the count, but interested teams will have to make some fancy maneuvering behind the scenes in order to add him to their roster.

Via ESPN: “To claim Primo, a team would need the available cap space or a traded player exception significant enough to absorb his $4.1 million salary this year. It would also owe him the $4.3 million on his contract for 2023-2024.”

Still, details regarding the specificity of the allegations against Primo are unclear, other than one woman was reportedly on staff. It is also unknown if any of the accusers plan to file lawsuits.

Former Spurs 12th pick Josh Primo has gone unclaimed on free agency waivers, per sources. He is owed $8.4M over the next two years. Primo was waived Friday after a former Spurs female employee alleged he indecently exposed himself to her.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) October 31, 2022

The Spurs’ front office did the right thing in having 0 tolerance for what’s coming to light.

The story should be about how Josh Primo is a repeat offender and deserves all the blame.

The side topic should be about how San Antonio handled it and set the standard.

The Rock Reveals All 8 XFL Teams

Spring football leagues have not had much success over the last few years. A great example of this is the Alliance of American Football, which shut down after just a few months and even left players stranded at their hotels.

Meanwhile, Vince McMahon’s reboot of the XFL was a disaster. The league was actually quite fun during the first few weeks, however, the pandemic left the league in absolute shambles. People were fired without warning, and the league went under almost immediately. This left numerous players out of a job, and it had McMahon scrambling to sell the operation.

Beatriz Velasco/Getty Images

In the end, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson decided to buy the company from his former boss. The Rock used to play football, so it made sense for him to want in on the league. He has promised a return in 2023, and it seems like the league is making good on that promise.

Today, The Rock took to Twitter where he revealed a promotional clip for the league. This new clip demonstrates all eight teams that will participate next year. Many of these teams were present during the XFL’s 2020 run, and if you were a fan of any of these teams then, you should be again in 2023.

The new @XFL2023

ARL @XFLRenegades
DC @XFLDefenders
HOU @XFLRoughnecks
ORL @XFLGuardians
SA @XFLBrahmas
SEA @XFLSeaDragons
STL @XFLBattlehawks
VEG @XFLVipers

You bring the dream.
We bring the opportunity

In this tweet down below, you can see the logos for all of the teams that will be in the league. Here, we have the Arlington Renegades, the DC Defenders, the Houston Roughnecks, the Orlando Guardians, the San Antonio Brahmas, the Seattle Sea Dragons, the St. Louis Battlehawks, and the Vegas Vipers.

This is a huge opportunity for the XFL to prove that it is still a viable league. The Rock is looking to do things differently, which we saw when he started talking to the Canadian Football League about a potential collab. Hopefully, the XFL remains successful so that more players can get a chance to show their stuff at a professional level.

The XFL has unveiled its 8 new, official team identities:

Kanye West Storms Off From Saint’s Soccer Game After Argument With A Parent

Kanye West left his son Saint’s soccer game on Monday after getting involved in a heated argument with the parent of another one of the players. In a video of the incident obtained by TMZ, an animated West can be seen flailing his arms around in frustration with another attendee.

A few minutes after the altercation, West returned to the crowd having cooled off, and watched the rest of the game without incident.

Kim Kardashian was also at the event and could be seen sitting off to the side in a lawn chair surrounded by security. It’s been reported that Kim and Kanye aren’t talking after West’s recent behavior, which included wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt to their daughter North’s basketball game.

The incident comes as West has been suspended from Instagram for the next 30 days. Meta confirmed the restriction on Ye’s account in a statement provided to Complex on Monday.

“We deleted content from @kanyewest for violating our policies and placed a restriction on the account,” a Meta spokesperson said via email. “We may place restrictions on accounts that repeatedly break our rules, for example, we may temporarily restrict them from posting, commenting, or sending DMs.”

After being restricted on Instagram, earlier this month, Ye infamously threatened to go “death con 3” on Jewish people on Twitter.

While he’s off Instagram once again, West has spoken about his desire to purchase Parler in recent weeks, however, after losing out on numerous brand deals, his net worth has dropped from $2 billion down to $400 million, according to Forbes.

Check out a clip from the incident at Saint’s soccer game at the link below.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Pushes Album Back Because Of Drake & 21 Savage

A Boogie will no longer release Me Vs. Myself on Friday. The rapper informed his fans that his forthcoming project will be dropping in December, a month after he initially scheduled its release. The reason behind it is the highly anticipated joint effort from Drake and 21 Savage, which was delayed by a week after OVO 40 contracted COVID-19 and couldn’t wrap up the mixing in time.

“Sorry but album dropping in December now, Drake was dropping the same day and I’m not with that,” he wrote with a flurry of laughing emojis. “#HOODIESZN.” Many applauded A Boogie’s transparency surrounding the situation since most artists would typically blame unnamed external factors for pushing their albums back. At the same time, it seems like A Boogie and his label anticipate either Taylor Swift or Drake and 21 Savage will have a grip on the charts for the entirety of November.

A BOOGIE REALLY POSTPONED HIS ALBUM CAUSE DRAKE IS DROPPING LMAOOOOO pic.twitter.com/KuiX0Jy0RW

— Jah Talks Music (@JahTalksMusic) October 31, 2022

A Boogie’s built up the anticipation for his forthcoming effort throughout the year. He shared a slew of singles in recent times including the Roddy Ricch-assisted, “B.R.O.” and “Take Shots” ft. Tory Lanez. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait another month before it drops but it seems likely that he’ll be blessing fans with even more music to hold them over until then.

Me Vs. Myself will include many more appearances from some of his close affiliates in the industry. Though he blurred out a few names, he did confirm that Lil Durk and H.E.R. will also appear on the project, alongside Tory Lanez and Roddy Ricch.

There’s still minimal information surrounding Drake and 21 Savage’s project. After Drake joined Savage at Morehouse-Spelman’s homecoming concert, rumors began floating that a joint project was on the way. However, Savage shut those rumors down shortly after, only for Drake to confirm the news with the release of the “Jimmy Cooks” music video.

Earlier today, the two rappers shared the cover of the October issue of Vogue magazine. Hopefully, we get a tracklist for Her Loss in the coming days.

Nicki Minaj & Cardi B Solidify Themselves As Halloween Queens With Iconic Costumes

Halloweekend is over for another year, but before October 31st officially comes to an end, celebrities continue to show off their creative (and sometimes kooky) costumes via social media, eliciting all kinds of reactions from famous friends and fans alike.

Standout stars so far this year have been Sean Combs, who expertly channelled the energy of Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight, as well as Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods, who each pulled off two fun looks paying homage to pop culture icons.

While Nicki Minaj is no stranger to showing off sultry and salacious snapshots of herself on her Instagram feed, for today’s holiday she went the more wholesome route, instead choosing to celebrate with her family – husband Kenneth Petty, and their young son, Papa Bear.

“HONEY, I BLEW UP #PapaBear,” the 39-year-old captioned her post shared on Monday. In the photos, we see the rap diva and her husband standing in front of a white background, about to be squished by a larger-than-life toddler’s shoe.

Other photos see a giant PB crawling after his parents as they look back in shock at the sheer size of their little boy.

The mother of one also couldn’t resist a more scandalous ensemble to commemorate the occasion as well, showing off her take on Cinderella – complete with butt cutouts – later on Monday afternoon.

As for Cardi B, she followed in Lizzo’s footsteps, painting herself yellow and donning a giant blue wig as Marge Simpson.

In the colourful photoshoot, the New York-born rhymer can be seen lounging around the infamous backdrop of The Simpson‘s family living room, dusting off her Grammy and strutting her stuff in a pair of sky-high red heels.

Not long after, the mother of two uploaded another “Mugler-inspired” Marge photo set, this one showing off her bodacious behind thanks to a bold couture cutout – check it out below, and find our roundup of the best 2022 celebrity Halloween costumes here.

Robinson hails his Fuel Masters for laying it all down

Phoenix coach Topex Robinson waxed philosophical when asked about the foremost thing that has been greasing the Fuel Masters’ rise in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup. “You get courage by knowing,” he said late Sunday night on the heels of a gutsy fightback that repelled TNT for a 91-88 victory at Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
