Having new styles and look is common to have among celebs, and amid this changing style, superstar Drake has captured the attention and headlines too. Drake, a famous pop star and celebrity, is widely recognized. He maintains close relationships with many NBA players and frequently appears at basketball games.
Recently, Drake was seen at an NBA open run event in Los Angeles, where he showcased his new hairstyle while in the company of basketball superstar Kevin Durant. Describing the exact style Drake was aiming for is difficult, but it definitely had fans very excited. One fan even commented on Drake, saying, “Drake’s in his hoe phase.”
What’s up with Drake and Bobbi Althoff?
Regarding Drake’s period of embracing a more playful lifestyle, there were rumors among fans linking it to Bobbi Althoff. In July 2023, Drake made an appearance on a podcast hosted by Bobbi Althoff.
During the podcast, she jokingly inquired whether she was of his type or not. In response, Drake became quite famous for his reply, saying, “I’d do it.” Bobbi Althoff felt hurt when Drake referred to her as “it.” When she attempted to address this with Drake, he erupted into laughter, which only added to Bobbi’s offense. She found the situation far from humorous and was genuinely upset by it.
Following their disagreement, Bobbi uploaded a video of herself at one of Drake’s concerts. Yet, from the appearance of the video, it seemed like Bobbi was subtly taking a dig at Drake, as she appeared exceedingly uninterested and disengaged during the performance.
The video quickly gained widespread attention, and as a result, both Drake and Bobbi chose to stop following each other on Instagram. In addition, Bobbi took more steps by erasing all of Drake’s content from her Instagram account and removing the interview they had done from YouTube.
It is uncertain whether the conflict is genuine or merely a publicity stunt.
In a different interview, Dave Portnoy, the creator of Barstool Sports, revealed that he inquired about Bobbi and her past involvement with Drake.
Drake’s career in the music industry
Drake is a Canadian rapper. Apart from being a rapper, he is also a songwriter. He holds great influence in today’s music scene, often credited with blending singing and R&B elements into hip-hop, contributing to its evolution.
He started by acting on the TV show”Degrassi: The Next Generation” as Jimmy Brooks. But his love for music too over, and he put out his first mixtape called Room for Improvement in 2006.
After that, he kept going with more mixtapes like Comeback Season and So Far Gone before becoming a part of Young Money Entertainment. Drake’s initial three albums- Thank Me Later, Nothing Was the Same, and Take Care met with praise from critics and played a significant role in establishing his prominence in the hip-hop scene.
His fourth album, Views, showed experimentation with dancehall influences and held the number-one spot on the Billboard 200 chart for 13 separate weeks.
This marked a significant achievement, as it had been over a decade since a male artist achieved such a feat. Views also included the global hit tracks “Hotline Bling” and “One Dance.” The latter is often recognized for introducing Afrobeats to a wider audience around the world.
In his role as an entrepreneur, Drake established the OVO Sound record label in 2012, partnering with his longtime collaborator, 40. In 2013, he took on the position of “global ambassador” for the Toronto Raptors, a professional basketball team.
This involvement went beyond just a title- he became part of their executive committee and eventually secured the naming rights to their practice facility.
