Drake just dropped a music video for his latest single “You Broke My Heart”, and this visual features an unexpected guest star. The Canadian rapper appears alongside the country superstar Morgan Wallen in his latest music video.

The Theo Skudra-directed visual opens with Drake and Wallen dining at a fancy restaurant and reminiscing about their doomed relationships over drinks. “I didn’t like her. I think she might have been the wrong girl anyway,” Wallen tells Drake before they decide to let bygones be bygones and head out while the night is still young.

After the duo drives away, the camera pans to two women, played by Grace Matthews and Taylor Morris, and shows them blowing up the car that the two singers were in. They celebrate the job well done while dancing their hearts out and refuse to stop even after the cops show up.

“You Broke My Heart” was released as a bonus track on For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition, the reissue of Drake’s eighth studio album For All the Dogs. It hit the shelves on November 17, about a month after the original album, and featured six new songs, including “Evil Ways” ft. J. Cole, “Red Button”, and “Wick Man”.

Drake and 21 Savage have been making waves with their It’s All a Blur Tour, and they set one major milestone along the way. They surpassed the record previously held by Kendrick Lamar to score the highest-grossing rap tour in history.

NME reported that It’s All a Blur Tour grossed $ 129.7 million across 30 shows Drake did this year alongside 21 Savage. By doing so, they broke the record previously held by Lamar, who grossed $ 110.9 million across 73 shows during his Big Steppers Tour, which concluded in September 2022.

Drake and 21 Savage embarked on It’s All a Blur Tour to support their collaborative album Her Loss. It marked Drake’s first North American tour in five years, and it took him all across the United States and Canada. 21 Savage wasn’t able to join him in Canada, where he was replaced by J. Cole and Travis Scott.

Despite his claims he’ll take a break from music to focus on his health, Drake announced a new run of tour dates for 2024. The second leg of the tour has been subtitled as It’s All a Blur Tour – Big As the What? with J. Cole coming on board as a co-headliner. It will kick off in Denver, Colorado on January 18 and conclude in Birmingham, Alabama on March 27.

Drake said he’s taking a brief hiatus from music to focus on his health just last month, but it seems he simply can’t catch a break. The Canadian rapper surprised his fans by dropping the EP Scary Hours 3, which serves as a companion piece to his recent album For All the Dogs.

Drake dropped a teaser for Scary Hours 3 on social media just a few hours before sharing it with the world. He explained that this album came together pretty quickly and organically so he didn’t feel like waiting before dropping it.

“I feel like I’m in that mental state without doing anything. I did those songs in the last five days. I didn’t have one bar written down for those songs on the night that For All the Dogs dropped… You know, this is just happening on its own. And who am I to fight it?” said Drake in the teaser’s voiceover.

His latest EP was released on November 17 under the title For All the Dogs: Scary Hours Edition. It features a total of six songs, including a collaboration with J. Cole. It follows the release of his latest studio album For All the Dogs, which became his 13th album to debut atop the Billboard 200 chart just last month.

Nicki Minaj’s fans were shocked after her highly-anticipated collaboration with Drake didn’t make it to his latest album, but she finally shared it with the world. The rapper dropped a surprise track “For All the Barbz” featuring Drake and Chief Keef and dedicated it to her fans.

The collaboration between Drake and Minaj was expected to be featured on his latest album For All the Dogs, but he’s obviously a side act here. Minaj’s freestyle is definitely the best part of the songs, and she used the lyrics “VMAs was a family reunion / First time in a while I seen all of my sons” to take shots at fellow rappers Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Ice Spice.

Minaj is currently busy teasing her upcoming album Pink Friday 2, set to hit the shelves on November 17. In an interview with Elle, she promised a “fierce, fun, and unapologetic” record that’s worth waiting for.

“It’s probably the most excited I’ve been about an album release in a really long time. I’m happy that we’re not making my fans wait for another album like I’ve done in the past. This one incorporates all the things people love about Nicki, but it also just has a way bigger sound,” said Minaj.

We can count on Drake to break new records every time he shares a new album with the world, and he’s done it once again! The rapper’s latest album For All the Dogs made quite a splash on the Billboard charts and produced his 13th No. 1 hit, tying him with Michael Jackson.

Following its release on October 6, For All the Dogs easily debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart with 402,000 album-equivalent units, becoming his 13th album to do so. He’s only one album away from surpassing Jay-Z, but the all-time record is still held by The Beatles with 19 No. 1 albums in the US.

Drake also made quite a splash on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with all 23 songs from his latest album debuting on the Billboard Hot 100. Seven of them managed to make it to the top ten, including “First Person Shooter” ft. J. Cole, which became his 13th chart-leader.

Drake is now tied with Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 hits among solo male artists, but The Beatles (20), Mariah Carey (19), and Rihanna (14) are still ahead of them. For All the Dogs also helped Drake become the first artist with over 300 Billboard Hot 100 entries with a total of 320.

Drake finally dropped his brand-new album For All the Dogs this Friday, but this is the last we’ll hear from him for a while. The Canadian rapper announced he’ll take a break from music for at least a year to focus on his health.

Drake shared the news about his hiatus from music during a recent episode on his radio show Table for One on SiriusXM’s Sound 42 and explained why he decided to go down this road.

“I need to focus on my health, first and foremost — and I’ll talk about that soon enough. Nothing crazy, but just like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life, and I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach,” said Drake.

The Canadian hitmaker added he’s “going to lock the door on the studio for a little bit” and said he won’t make any new music for a year or “maybe a little longer.”

This announcement came on the same day when he dropped his eighth solo studio album For All the Dogs. Its release on October 6 was preceded by the chart-topping single “Slime You Out” featuring SZA, while the rest of the album also includes collaborations with 21 Savage, J. Cole, PartyNextDoor, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, and Lil Yachty.

The Rolling Stones – Hackney Diamonds (October 20)

Drake and SZA created quite a splash with their collaboration “Slime You Out”, and this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart reflects its enormous success. This viral hit easily soared to No. 1 in the US, setting several major milestones for both artists along the way.

“Slime You Out” hit No. 1 after attracting 32.6 million streams and 5.2 million radio airplay audience impressions and selling 2,000 downloads during its first week on the chart. It also debuted atop the Streaming Songs chart and R&B/hip-hop charts this week.

“Slime You Out” is Drake’s 12th song to reach the top of the Billboard 100, and this is quite an accomplishment. He tied Madonna and The Supremes for the fifth-most leaders among all acts, in addition to scoring his record-extending eighth song to debut at No. 1.

As for SZA, “Slime You Out” is her second single atop the Billboard Hot 100, following the success of “Kill Bill”. She’s currently the only artist with multiple No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023, and she also reached No. 3 with “Snooze” this week.

“Slime You Out” has been released as the second single from Drake’s upcoming album For All the Dogs, set to be released on October 6.

Drake’s fans were hoping his new album For All the Dogs would be released next week, but that’s no longer the plan. The Canadian superstar announced his decision to postpone the release of his next album for next month so he could focus on finishing up his ongoing tour.

There’s been a lot of rumors surrounding the release of For All the Dogs, especially after Drake shared a cover art, drawn by his son Adonis, last month. He later announced his new album would hit the shelves on September 22 but quickly changed his mind.

Drake took to social media to announce that For All the Dogs will be released on October 6 instead because he wants to focus on wrapping up his It’s All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage in style.

“Okay, my dilemma I am faced with is I either cancel shows to finish the album or I complete the mission and drop the album before the last show. I owe you all these memories we are building and anywhere we have missed to date we will be spinning back for sure,” he explained on Instagram.

To soften the blow of the album’s postponement, Drake surprised his fans by sharing a new single “Slime You Out” ft. SZA this Friday.

Drake said he’s taking a brief hiatus from music to focus on his health just last month, but it seems he simply can’t catch a break. The Canadian rapper surprised his fans by dropping the EP Scary Hours 3, which serves as a companion piece to his recent album For All the Dogs.

Drake dropped a teaser for Scary Hours 3 on social media just a few hours before sharing it with the world. He explained that this album came together pretty quickly and organically so he didn’t feel like waiting before dropping it.

“I feel like I’m in that mental state without doing anything. I did those songs in the last five days. I didn’t have one bar written down for those songs on the night that For All the Dogs dropped… You know, this is just happening on its own. And who am I to fight it?” said Drake in the teaser’s voiceover.

His latest EP was released on November 17 under the title For All the Dogs: Scary Hours Edition. It features a total of six songs, including a collaboration with J. Cole. It follows the release of his latest studio album For All the Dogs, which became his 13th album to debut atop the Billboard 200 chart just last month.

Nicki Minaj’s fans were shocked after her highly-anticipated collaboration with Drake didn’t make it to his latest album, but she finally shared it with the world. The rapper dropped a surprise track “For All the Barbz” featuring Drake and Chief Keef and dedicated it to her fans.

The collaboration between Drake and Minaj was expected to be featured on his latest album For All the Dogs, but he’s obviously a side act here. Minaj’s freestyle is definitely the best part of the songs, and she used the lyrics “VMAs was a family reunion / First time in a while I seen all of my sons” to take shots at fellow rappers Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Ice Spice.

Minaj is currently busy teasing her upcoming album Pink Friday 2, set to hit the shelves on November 17. In an interview with Elle, she promised a “fierce, fun, and unapologetic” record that’s worth waiting for.

“It’s probably the most excited I’ve been about an album release in a really long time. I’m happy that we’re not making my fans wait for another album like I’ve done in the past. This one incorporates all the things people love about Nicki, but it also just has a way bigger sound,” said Minaj.

We can count on Drake to break new records every time he shares a new album with the world, and he’s done it once again! The rapper’s latest album For All the Dogs made quite a splash on the Billboard charts and produced his 13th No. 1 hit, tying him with Michael Jackson.

Following its release on October 6, For All the Dogs easily debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart with 402,000 album-equivalent units, becoming his 13th album to do so. He’s only one album away from surpassing Jay-Z, but the all-time record is still held by The Beatles with 19 No. 1 albums in the US.

Drake also made quite a splash on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with all 23 songs from his latest album debuting on the Billboard Hot 100. Seven of them managed to make it to the top ten, including “First Person Shooter” ft. J. Cole, which became his 13th chart-leader.

Drake is now tied with Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 hits among solo male artists, but The Beatles (20), Mariah Carey (19), and Rihanna (14) are still ahead of them. For All the Dogs also helped Drake become the first artist with over 300 Billboard Hot 100 entries with a total of 320.

Drake finally dropped his brand-new album For All the Dogs this Friday, but this is the last we’ll hear from him for a while. The Canadian rapper announced he’ll take a break from music for at least a year to focus on his health.

Drake shared the news about his hiatus from music during a recent episode on his radio show Table for One on SiriusXM’s Sound 42 and explained why he decided to go down this road.

“I need to focus on my health, first and foremost — and I’ll talk about that soon enough. Nothing crazy, but just like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life, and I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach,” said Drake.

The Canadian hitmaker added he’s “going to lock the door on the studio for a little bit” and said he won’t make any new music for a year or “maybe a little longer.”

This announcement came on the same day when he dropped his eighth solo studio album For All the Dogs. Its release on October 6 was preceded by the chart-topping single “Slime You Out” featuring SZA, while the rest of the album also includes collaborations with 21 Savage, J. Cole, PartyNextDoor, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, and Lil Yachty.

Drake and SZA created quite a splash with their collaboration “Slime You Out”, and this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart reflects its enormous success. This viral hit easily soared to No. 1 in the US, setting several major milestones for both artists along the way.

“Slime You Out” hit No. 1 after attracting 32.6 million streams and 5.2 million radio airplay audience impressions and selling 2,000 downloads during its first week on the chart. It also debuted atop the Streaming Songs chart and R&B/hip-hop charts this week.

“Slime You Out” is Drake’s 12th song to reach the top of the Billboard 100, and this is quite an accomplishment. He tied Madonna and The Supremes for the fifth-most leaders among all acts, in addition to scoring his record-extending eighth song to debut at No. 1.

As for SZA, “Slime You Out” is her second single atop the Billboard Hot 100, following the success of “Kill Bill”. She’s currently the only artist with multiple No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023, and she also reached No. 3 with “Snooze” this week.

“Slime You Out” has been released as the second single from Drake’s upcoming album For All the Dogs, set to be released on October 6.

Drake’s fans were hoping his new album For All the Dogs would be released next week, but that’s no longer the plan. The Canadian superstar announced his decision to postpone the release of his next album for next month so he could focus on finishing up his ongoing tour.

There’s been a lot of rumors surrounding the release of For All the Dogs, especially after Drake shared a cover art, drawn by his son Adonis, last month. He later announced his new album would hit the shelves on September 22 but quickly changed his mind.

Drake took to social media to announce that For All the Dogs will be released on October 6 instead because he wants to focus on wrapping up his It’s All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage in style.

“Okay, my dilemma I am faced with is I either cancel shows to finish the album or I complete the mission and drop the album before the last show. I owe you all these memories we are building and anywhere we have missed to date we will be spinning back for sure,” he explained on Instagram.

To soften the blow of the album’s postponement, Drake surprised his fans by sharing a new single “Slime You Out” ft. SZA this Friday.
