NEW MUSIC: DRAKE – ‘TROPHIES’

Drake’s been making fans hold out on hearing “Trophies” for months now but the wait has finally come to a close. The Hit-Boy produced track serves as the second release of what’s expected to include 4 or 5 songs from Drizzy by the end of 2013. Yesterday he released a “We Made It” freestyle, featuring Soulja Boy.

Was this really a leftover from Nothing Was the Same? Based on the celebratory theme of this and yesterday’s release, I’d take this as Drake’s victory lap on a great year.

Nicki Minaj Talks Drake & Young Money

Nicki Minaj recently appeared on Funkmaster Flex's radio show on Hot 97 and the DJ asked her about labelmate Drake and his status with Cash Money Records. Nicki didn't give a straight answer, but indicated there may be an estrangement.

"[Drake's] so talented," she said. "Sometimes, we've seen this. Sometimes when you're really intelligent and you're really talented, you also think a lot. Sometimes your mind is racing with thoughts. It is what it is. People go through their own motions and you've gotta respect it and keep it moving. We all love the team. We all love Wayne. That's what's gonna always hold us together. Drake is my baby because that's how it was when we came in. So whenever I think of him, 'That's my baby.' Whatever is going on now, obviously we're all very busy and you know, shit happens. It gets a little hard to have a real connection when people are on different sides of the world, working on different things. You just never know who people got in their ear or what they're feeling or maybe they felt wronged in some way. I don't know. I just know that Drake is my baby and Wayne is my everything."

Drake Celebrates His Grammy

He and his crew had shots and Instagrammed photos of the celebration.

The rapper's third album, Nothing Was the Same, is due to be released September 17th.

Drake Isn't Thinking About Sex?

Drake is focused.

Drake is so focused, in fact, that he's basically given up sex for a while. In an interview with GQ, Drizzy explained how knockin' boots has become less of a focus in his life as he's pushing forward with his career.

"You know the way fighters don't f**k before the fight?" Drake asked. "Sometimes I feel like I'm so focused on training my body and getting my mind right to create this album that sex isn't one of my main priorities."

"If someone is around that I know and trust, I'm down," he added. "But I'm not going to end up with some stranger at this party."

Drake & Chris Brown Sued For $16 Million

The fallout from the now-infamous Drake/Chris Brown fight in New York City back in June has yet to completely die. Both artists are now being sued for $16 million over the fight at W.i.P. The suit was filed by Entertainment Enterprises Ltd.

The suit claims that that Drake and Brown "shared a grudge against [each] other arising out of their romantic relationships with the same woman [Rihanna]," which led them to "fight violently with each other."

"Each arrived with his own small army of bodyguards [and] 'security' personnel...consisting of at least 15 heavily built men trained and/or experienced in hand-to-hand and weapons combat," it says. "Their two posses had at each other, throwing highball glasses laden with alcohol, shattering the handles of bottles of spirits to use as makeshift knives, and even throwing full bottles at each other." Entertainment Enterprises is also suing W.i.P. and its affiliate club Greenhouse for $4 million, as the incident negated a licensing deal that the firm and nightclub had negotiated prior to the fight.
