Drake’s latest studio album For All the Dogs has given us several amazing collaborations, including “Rich Baby Daddy”. The music video for this song is finally here, and it sees Drake and SZA taking Se-yy Red to the hospital to give birth to her baby.

The backstory behind this music video is pretty wild, and it kicks off with Drake and SZA having a fun time at a house party with Se-yy Red, before her water breaks. SZA gets mad at Drake because he’s filming the whole thing, but he tries to make excuses for himself by saying he’s just trying to capture the moment.

They rush Se-yy Red to the hospital, and the video ends with her and SZA dancing in the hallway and holding the baby. The video wraps up with Se-yy Red’s real-life post-birth photo, captioned with a heartwarming message “Congratulations Red!!! We love you.”

“Rich Baby Daddy” was released as the third single from Drake’s eighth studio album For All the Dogs, which hit the shelves in October last year. This LP also featured collaborations with 21 Savage, J. Cole, PartyNextDoor, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, and Lil Yachty, and it hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts, with all of its 23 tracks debuting on the Billboard Hot 100.

Drake had a busy 2023 that saw him travel North America with 21 Savage as part of the It’s All A Blur Tour. But it turns out that the Canadian rap superstar is bracing for an even more eventful 2024 with plans to play more shows in the U.S. and Canada while also touring Europe.

Drake revealed his plans to go overseas while discussing his New Year’s resolutions during a recent live stream on streaming platform Stake.

“I’m definitely going on a Europe tour next year,” Drake exclusively revealed to the viewers. 

The “God’s Plan” rapper also mentioned several destinations in which he would like to perform for the first time including Italy, Albania, and Tokyo, Japan.

Drake last performed in Europe in 2019 as part of the Assassination Vacation Tour with Tory Lanez. The duo performed shows in the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Drake, who released his most recent album, For All The Dogs, back in October, will return on the road in January for Big as the What? Tour. The trip, which also features J. Cole as a co-headliner, includes 32 dates through March, with stops in Denver, New Orleans, Nashville, and Kansas City, among other cities.

The list of Billboard Music Awards winners is finally in, and things played out exactly the way we expected them to. After ruling the Billboard charts all year long, Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift emerged as the biggest winners at this award show on Sunday night.

Swift picked up 10 awards at this year’s BBMAs, starting with the top artist. By doing so, she brought her total to 39 wins at the Billboard Music Awards, tying the record with Drake for most awards won by a single artist, after he picked up an additional five trophies on Sunday.

Swift tuned in via pre-recorded message from her latest The Eras Tour stop in Brazil and thanked her fans for making this triumph possible.

“Well, this is unreal. The fact that you guys have given me 10 Billboard Awards – I’m talking to the fans specifically. None of this happens without you… You made The Eras Tour so magical. You went and saw the movie, you cared about my re-recordings. I just love you so much,” said Swift.

Despite making history, Swift wasn’t the ceremony’s top-winning artist this year. Morgan Wallen collected a total of 11 awards, thanks to his hit album One Thing at the Time and its chart-topping hit “Last Night”. Drake walked away with five awards, followed by Zach Bryan and SZA with four each.

Nicki Minaj is doing a great job teasing her upcoming album Pink Friday 2, and she gave us a taste of things to come with another new song. “For All the Barbz” is the rapper’s love letter to her fans, and it features verses from fellow rappers Drake and Chief Keef.

Minaj was one of the artists expected to be featured on Drake’s new album For All the Dogs, and her fans were shocked to see her missing from the tracklist. It eventually turned out that Drake and Minaj were working on something after all, and “For All the Barbz” hit the shelves just two weeks after the release of Drake’s new album.

The freestyle in “For All the Barbz” sees Minaj taking aim at other rappers who followed in her footsteps, many of whom she collaborated with in the past. The line VMAs was a family reunion / First time in a while I seen all of my sons” makes it pretty clear she’s referring to Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Ice Spice.

Mina’s next album Pink Friday 2 will hit the shelves on November 17, and it will feature previously released singles “Last Time I Saw You” and “Super Freaky Girl”, which became the first solo female rap song to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the 21st century.

Drake decided to take a short break from music following the release of his latest album For All the Dogs, but he’s going out on a high! In addition to debuting atop the Billboard 200 chart, this album also produced his 13th No. 1 hit in the US, setting several records along the way.

For All the Dogs hit the shelves on October 6, and easily climbed to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, with 402,000 album-equivalent units sold during its first week. With 13 No. 1 albums in the US, Drake is just one LP away from passing Jay-Z, but it will take some time before he comes even close to The Beatles with 19 No. 1 albums.

All of 23 tracks from For All the Dogs made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, with seven debuting in the top ten alone! “First Person Shooter” ft. J. Cole hit No. 1, becoming his 13th chart-leader, helping Drake tie Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 hits among solo male acts.

The success of For All the Dogs also helped Drake become the first act with over 300 Hot 100 entries (320) and set or extend several more records – most No. 1 debuts (nine), top five hits (41), top 10 hits (76), top 20 hits (132), and top 40 hits (199).

This Friday marked the release of Drake’s highly-anticipated new album For All the Dogs, but he also surprised his fans with some pretty unexpected news that same day. The Canadian hitmaker said he’s taking a break from making music to focus on his health.

Drake detailed his plans in a recent episode on his radio show Table for One on SiriusXM’s Sound 42. He revealed that he’s been having “the craziest problems” with his stomach for a couple of years, and that’s one of the main reasons why he wants to take some time off and focus on his health.

“I got some other things I need to do for some other people that I made promises to but I probably won’t make music for a little bit… So I’ma lock the door on the studio for a little bit, I don’t even know what a little bit is. Maybe a year or so, maybe a little longer,” said Drake.

This news was quite a shocker for his fans because it came shortly after he dropped his latest studio album For All the Dogs on October 6. In addition to the chart-topping SZA collaboration “Slime You Out”, this album also saw Drake team up with 21 Savage, J. Cole, PartyNextDoor, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, and Lil Yachty.

October is just around the corner, and our favorite artists are kicking it off on a high note! Many of the year’s most-anticipated albums are set to hit the shelves this month, and here are five we’ll be listening to on repeat in the next few weeks.

Drake – For All the Dogs (October 8)

Drake delayed the release of For All the Dogs several times, but he’s finally ready to share it with the world. He did a great job setting the stage for this album with the chart-topping single “Slime You Out” ft. SZA.

Troye Sivan – Something to Give Each Other (October 13)

Troye Sivan knocked us off our feet with his recent viral hit “Rush” and its follow-up “Got Me Started” got us even more hyped up for his third studio album Something to Give Each Other.

The Rolling Stones – Hackney Diamonds (October 20)

It’s been almost two decades since The Rolling Stones released their last album of the original material, but they’ll be back with the star-studded Hackney Diamonds this October.

Blink-182 – One More Time… (October 20)

The classic line-up of Blink-182 reunited for the band’s latest studio album One More Time…, which will see them reflecting on some of the personal struggles they survived by each other’s side.

Taylor Swift – 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (October 27)

Taylor Swift’s album 1989 gave us some of her biggest hits, such as “Blank Space”, “Shake It Off”, and “Bad Blood”—and its re-recorded version is just around the corner!

Drake’s new album For All the Dogs is just around the corner, and he’s doing a pretty great job teasing it. “Slime You Out” ft. SZA was released as the latest single from this highly-anticipated record, and it didn’t take it long to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

With 32.6 million streams, 5.2 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 2,000 downloads, “Slime You Out” easily debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week. This song has been released as the second single from Drake’s new album For All the Dogs, set to hit the shelves on October 6.

“Slime You Out” became Drake’s 12th song to reach this milestone, helping him tie with Madonna and The Supremes for the fifth-most leaders among all acts on the Hot 100. He also extended his record for most No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 to eight.

The success of “Slime You Out” is also a huge deal for SZA, who also hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week with “Snooze”. “Slime You Out” is her second song to hit No. 1 after “Kill Bill”, and she’s currently the only artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 with multiple songs this year.

Drake’s new album For All the Dogs was supposed to hit the shelves next week, but we’ll have to wait for it a little bit longer. The Canadian rapper pushed back the release of his eighth studio album for October because he’ll need more time to finish it up.

For All the Dogs was supposed to hit the shelves on September 22, but it’ll now be released on October 6. Drake decided to delay its release once again to focus on wrapping up his ongoing It’s All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage, which will conclude on October 9.

“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,” wrote Drake on social media.

The release of For All the Dogs has been delayed several times after Drake shared its cover art, drawn by his son Adonis, back in August. “Search & Rescue” was released as its lead single back in April, while Drake dropped the second single “Slime You Out” ft. SZA just this Friday.

Nicki Minaj is doing a great job teasing her upcoming album Pink Friday 2, and she gave us a taste of things to come with another new song. “For All the Barbz” is the rapper’s love letter to her fans, and it features verses from fellow rappers Drake and Chief Keef.

Minaj was one of the artists expected to be featured on Drake’s new album For All the Dogs, and her fans were shocked to see her missing from the tracklist. It eventually turned out that Drake and Minaj were working on something after all, and “For All the Barbz” hit the shelves just two weeks after the release of Drake’s new album.

The freestyle in “For All the Barbz” sees Minaj taking aim at other rappers who followed in her footsteps, many of whom she collaborated with in the past. The line VMAs was a family reunion / First time in a while I seen all of my sons” makes it pretty clear she’s referring to Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Ice Spice.

Mina’s next album Pink Friday 2 will hit the shelves on November 17, and it will feature previously released singles “Last Time I Saw You” and “Super Freaky Girl”, which became the first solo female rap song to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the 21st century.

Drake decided to take a short break from music following the release of his latest album For All the Dogs, but he’s going out on a high! In addition to debuting atop the Billboard 200 chart, this album also produced his 13th No. 1 hit in the US, setting several records along the way.

For All the Dogs hit the shelves on October 6, and easily climbed to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, with 402,000 album-equivalent units sold during its first week. With 13 No. 1 albums in the US, Drake is just one LP away from passing Jay-Z, but it will take some time before he comes even close to The Beatles with 19 No. 1 albums.

All of 23 tracks from For All the Dogs made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, with seven debuting in the top ten alone! “First Person Shooter” ft. J. Cole hit No. 1, becoming his 13th chart-leader, helping Drake tie Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 hits among solo male acts.

The success of For All the Dogs also helped Drake become the first act with over 300 Hot 100 entries (320) and set or extend several more records – most No. 1 debuts (nine), top five hits (41), top 10 hits (76), top 20 hits (132), and top 40 hits (199).

This Friday marked the release of Drake’s highly-anticipated new album For All the Dogs, but he also surprised his fans with some pretty unexpected news that same day. The Canadian hitmaker said he’s taking a break from making music to focus on his health.

Drake detailed his plans in a recent episode on his radio show Table for One on SiriusXM’s Sound 42. He revealed that he’s been having “the craziest problems” with his stomach for a couple of years, and that’s one of the main reasons why he wants to take some time off and focus on his health.

“I got some other things I need to do for some other people that I made promises to but I probably won’t make music for a little bit… So I’ma lock the door on the studio for a little bit, I don’t even know what a little bit is. Maybe a year or so, maybe a little longer,” said Drake.

This news was quite a shocker for his fans because it came shortly after he dropped his latest studio album For All the Dogs on October 6. In addition to the chart-topping SZA collaboration “Slime You Out”, this album also saw Drake team up with 21 Savage, J. Cole, PartyNextDoor, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, and Lil Yachty.

October is just around the corner, and our favorite artists are kicking it off on a high note! Many of the year’s most-anticipated albums are set to hit the shelves this month, and here are five we’ll be listening to on repeat in the next few weeks.

Drake – For All the Dogs (October 8)

Drake delayed the release of For All the Dogs several times, but he’s finally ready to share it with the world. He did a great job setting the stage for this album with the chart-topping single “Slime You Out” ft. SZA.

Troye Sivan – Something to Give Each Other (October 13)

Troye Sivan knocked us off our feet with his recent viral hit “Rush” and its follow-up “Got Me Started” got us even more hyped up for his third studio album Something to Give Each Other.

The Rolling Stones – Hackney Diamonds (October 20)

It’s been almost two decades since The Rolling Stones released their last album of the original material, but they’ll be back with the star-studded Hackney Diamonds this October.

Blink-182 – One More Time… (October 20)

The classic line-up of Blink-182 reunited for the band’s latest studio album One More Time…, which will see them reflecting on some of the personal struggles they survived by each other’s side.

Taylor Swift – 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (October 27)

Taylor Swift’s album 1989 gave us some of her biggest hits, such as “Blank Space”, “Shake It Off”, and “Bad Blood”—and its re-recorded version is just around the corner!

Drake’s new album For All the Dogs is just around the corner, and he’s doing a pretty great job teasing it. “Slime You Out” ft. SZA was released as the latest single from this highly-anticipated record, and it didn’t take it long to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

With 32.6 million streams, 5.2 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 2,000 downloads, “Slime You Out” easily debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week. This song has been released as the second single from Drake’s new album For All the Dogs, set to hit the shelves on October 6.

“Slime You Out” became Drake’s 12th song to reach this milestone, helping him tie with Madonna and The Supremes for the fifth-most leaders among all acts on the Hot 100. He also extended his record for most No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 to eight.

The success of “Slime You Out” is also a huge deal for SZA, who also hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week with “Snooze”. “Slime You Out” is her second song to hit No. 1 after “Kill Bill”, and she’s currently the only artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 with multiple songs this year.

This week brought several amazing new albums our way, and Mitski’s The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We is definitely the most exciting new release. This LP features a total of 11 songs – each one deserving of a spot on our list – but “My Love Mine All Mine” is our personal favorite.

Drake’s collaboration with SZA, “Slime You Out”, is one of the week’s buzziest new releases, but our list also includes new music from Doja Cat, Tate McRae, Sia, Sufjan Stevens, and All Time Low.

Mitski – My Love Mine All Mine

Drake – Slime You Out ft. SZA

Drake’s new album For All the Dogs was supposed to hit the shelves next week, but we’ll have to wait for it a little bit longer. The Canadian rapper pushed back the release of his eighth studio album for October because he’ll need more time to finish it up.

For All the Dogs was supposed to hit the shelves on September 22, but it’ll now be released on October 6. Drake decided to delay its release once again to focus on wrapping up his ongoing It’s All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage, which will conclude on October 9.

“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,” wrote Drake on social media.

The release of For All the Dogs has been delayed several times after Drake shared its cover art, drawn by his son Adonis, back in August. “Search & Rescue” was released as its lead single back in April, while Drake dropped the second single “Slime You Out” ft. SZA just this Friday.
