Drake OVO-Nike sneaker collaboration is now in the works

While the pandemic put a stop to a lot of things that were in the world prior to the ongoing situation, it did not manage to stop Drake from working and doing what he loves the most, producing music. He released “Darke Lane Demo Tapes” that made it to the top of the charts in Canada and the United States and now, according to different sources, he is releasing his sixth studio album this year and this news has been going around for a while now. According to DJ Akademiks’ source YouTube’s divisions, Pandora and SiriusXM are working on the final details of the contract with the Canadian rapper who might also make a music video where he performs his songs from his previous albums for thirty minutes and in an additional fifteen minutes addresses his fans about the latest album.  The fans are still excited even though Drake himself hasn’t confirmed the information yet. And the expected date is coming up as according to the speculations it is supposed to be released before the beginning of August. But this isn’t the only thing Drake has been working on as another collaboration from Drake and Nike will be coming out very soon and it is supposed to be Drake’s sneakers and the product is said to launch in 2021.  This won’t be the first time Drake has collaborated with Nike as Nike borrowed Drake’s owl logo for a limited edition release of Air Jordan products including shoes and sweats and Air Jordan 4s that were all red and purple and that were released to celebrate the championship of the Raptors. An insider Instagram page has released info regarding this topic and stated that Nike might release Drake’s OVO and Air Force 1 at the same time in 2021. Drake has also designed a golden pair of Jordan 3s that he was wearing back in 2014 OVO Fest and another pair of Jordan 3s that he has on Nicki Minaj’s music video for Anaconda. And now the expectations for the brand new sneakers are higher than ever. And with all the concerts and events canceled Drake had a lot of time to work on different things and like many other companies or even artists used this time to his advantage. With the fact that people haven’t had the opportunity to go out to have fun and have had to entertain themselves at home artists like Drake have been trying to make these times easier for them by hosting online concerts or even performing via social media. And this has definitely been like a breath of fresh air during these past few months as having been different online tourism websites, gaming or shopping websites. Canadian gambling games online have become especially popular, surpassing any other online entertainment source and becoming the number one in that industry. But now the fans are already waiting for shows and concert dates. But there is still no sign of how the things will go down because of the uncertainty regarding the novel coronavirus. The music industry like all the other industries was drastically changed by the pandemic and it will probably never be the same again. And while some artists like Michael Buble, for example, have already announced the dates for their concerts in 2021, there is still no word from Drake on this subject as all of his performances for 2020 have been canceled. But rumor has it that Drake will be giving private performances in smaller venues at least before the world is back to normal and big concerts can become safe again. While the pandemic put a stop to a lot of things that were in the world prior to the ongoing situation, it did not manage to stop Drake from working and doing what he loves the most, producing music. He released “Darke Lane Demo Tapes” that made it to the top of the charts in Canada and the United States and now, according to different sources, he is releasing his sixth studio album this year and this news has been going around for a while now.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air getting Dramatic reboot

So I don't know if you saw the fake trailer (above) that came out last year. It's hella intense.  Director and Fresh Prince super fan, Morgan Cooper, put together a trailer for the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, but from a dramatic POV. Seriously, watch it. It went a little viral and Will Smith himself saw it and loved it.  Now it's becoming a reality.
At this time, a release date has not been revealed as the project is being shopped to streamers; it is a co-production between Smith's Westbrook Studios and Universal Television, a rep for the latter production company tells PEOPLE.
The project will be an hour-long retelling of the comedy and will highlight the plight of Black men in America today.
"Bel-Air is a one-hour, dramatic retelling of the beloved '90s sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, that leans into the original premise of Will's complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air. With a reimagined version, Bel-Air will dive deeper into the inherent conflicts, emotions and biases of what it means to be a Black man in America today, while still delivering the swagger and fun nods to the original show," the Universal Television spokesperson says.

SpongeBob’s BFF Patrick is getting his own show!!!

EVERYONE Love Spongebob.   Everyone. If you don't, you simply haven't tried.  And while I would Love it if Sandy the Squirrel could get her own gig, I am so happy to hear that Patrice Star will be headlining his own series!

Simon Cowell ‘could have been paralyzed’ from bike accident

Straight up, I hate Simon Cowell.  He stole his best friends wife and he stole his job from Howard Stern (as revealed in the Sony hack from several years ago where he told producers he'd work for less and to fire Stern) and just all around he seems like a snake. That said, I don't wish the man to be so mangled in an accident he's stuck in a chair. The 60 year old had emergency back surgery for 6 hours on Saturday after a fall from an electric bike. A source told The Mirror: 'Simon fell...

Trump asks to be added to Rushmore SMH

Look, I can't separate Don from the reality tv star that he was prior to his current position of madman in charge. So he's getting talked about just like other items of gossip.  He's too funny sometimes to ignore. Like now. So apparently back in 2019, White House reps called the governor of South Dakota to ask if they could add Trumps face to the current line up of presidents on Mount Rushmore. (Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln & Roosevelt) Now, you would think that was the craziest...

Jason Derulo says Trump wont ban Tiktok

I, like many out there, am a Tiktok junkie.  Like legit. Hours a day. It's sad really, but I honestly love it.  I think it's one of the few places left without constant negativity.  And even when you're marketed to you can just scroll passed it.  It's funny, sweet, wholesome, edgy and, in my case, really weird at times.  #AltTiktok Jason Derulo is a constant presence on the app.  I'm not real down with celebs being on it (I find the regular people are SO much more interesting) but Jas...

Oprah buys billboards for Breonna Taylor in Kentucky

Sometimes I forget that Oprah was once the champion of the downtrodden.  The little people.  She would help people instead of dazzling us with her expansive gardens and mansions.   Not that she doesn't deserve those things. It's just less and less we see her really acting to make a difference. Now, a week after announcing that Breonna Taylor would be featured on the cover of September’s issue of O Magazine, it has been revealed that Winfrey is also taking out billboards around Lou...
