Drake Laments The Ear-Popping Pressure Of “Being On Top” Amid Redemption Debate

Drake's beef with Kendrick Lamar has mostly died down, but nonetheless, the Toronto hitmaker remains at the forefront of hip-hop fans' minds. He's kept quiet on subjects like Kendrick's LA Pop Out, his "Not Like Us" music video, and more. Unsurprisingly, this has left his followers more eager than ever to hear what he has to say, and to see what his next move will be.

While he's yet to deliver on this front, Drake did take to Instagram recently for a late-night post. He shared a photo of himself lying in a bed with his eyes closed, surrounded by stuffed animals. "The pressure from being on top does more than just make your ears pop," he captioned it, leaving at least some room for interpretation.

Of course, many suspect that the caption is a reference to the apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, which left the former president with a bloody ear. It also seems to be a reminder that he's still one of the most commercially successful hip-hop artists right now. This is one thing that's yet to be taken away from him amid the fallout of his feud with Kendrick. Even before going back and forth with the Compton performer, he was the most-streamed rapper on Spotify all of 2024. He managed to earn this crown yet again in June.

For now, it remains to be seen if and how Drake could come back from the viral lyrical battle, which saw Kendrick throw some serious allegations his way. It appears as though he's taking a beat to recover, and perhaps plot his next move. What do you think of Drake's latest Instagram post?

DDG & Baby Halo Get Into Their ‘First Argument’

DDG and Halle Bailey‘s son Halo appears to already be sick of his dad’s antics, and let him know in their [adorable] first “argument.”

In a video posted to TikTok on Monday (August 19), the YouTuber and rapper can be seen telling a seemingly unamused Halo that he will be hanging with dad all the time when he’s older and will be signed up for every sport possible.

The baby then let out a sigh, which DDG noted was the type of behavior that makes the internet at large thinks his son is annoyed with him. At that point, he gave the baby some “space,” and the cuteness only continued from there.

Check out the hilarious clip below.

Last month, ever-proud daddy DDG shared a video of Halo getting his first lineup, and the internet quickly reacted – telling him it was way too soon, and calling him a clout chaser, among other things.

Returning to his Instagram Story with a response, DDG said: “People got something to say because I got my on a lineup at six months. Listen y’all, y’all worry about your own kids. He came out of my own balls…”

He continued: “Now I’m finna preach – y’all so used to Black men being un-present fathers. Elephant in the room – ain’t no other race said anything bad! Instead you should have just said his lining is crispy – ’cause it is! I know!”

DDG previously made it clear that he does not play about his son, calling out online commenters who posted negative statements after he and Halle finally revealed Halo’s face.

 

The couple — who kept their entire pregnancy secret and have still not revealed baby Halo’s exact birthdate — shared the very first photo of the six-month-old’s face last month.

The snap was reportedly taken shortly after the family attended the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda ’24 show, which took place at the Archaeological Park of Nora on the Italian island of Sardinia.

Once DDG got wind of some of the comments being made about his little boy, he took to his Instagram Stories to encourage the naysayers to quiet the noise.
