Fashion Nova Clowns Drake With "BBL Drizzy" Halloween Costume

Drake is Mr. OVO. Halloween Gang. October's Very Own. He's repped the season since day one, and has made it a defining part of his persona. Unfortunately, the fallout from his battle with Kendrick Lamar has yet to die down. The rapper may be trying to move forward, but companies are still looking to go viral by capitalizing on the battle. Case in point: Fashion Nova. The popular retail company is selling Halloween costumes on their website, and one in particular is a direct dig at the Champagne Papi.

The costume is billed as a "BBL Booty Butt Pad Costume Accessory." Nondescript enough, right? Well, the photos the accompany the costume tell a different story. They feature a man wearing a black hoodie and sporting a hairstyle eerily similar to the one Drake currently rocks. If that wasn't enough, the man is wearing multi-color hair clips. You know, the same exact ones Drake wore in the music video for "8AM In Charlotte." Did we mention that the hoodie says "Papi" on the front, effectively riffing on one of 6 God's oldest nicknames? There's plausible deniability, but this is about as blatant as one can be without saying the person's name outright.

Fashion Nova Styled A Model To Look Like Drake

Drake's alleged "BBL" procedure was a constant point of mockery during the first half of the year. It was something that Kendrick Lamar and Rick Ross hammered home on their respective diss tracks. Ross was actually the first one to level cosmetic surgery allegations at Drizzy on "Champagne Moments." "I know you got your Dockers on with no underwear, white boy," he said during the song's outro. "Yeah, you had that surgery, that six-pack gone. That's why you wearin' that funny sh*t at your show, you can't hide it."

Kendrick Lamar, meanwhile, had a more clever bar on "Euphoria." "Yeah, my first one like my last one, it's a classic, you don't have one," he spit. "Let your core audience stomach that, then tell 'em where you get your abs from." The notion that Drake doesn't have a classic is silly, but the punchline still landed. Metro Boomin crystalized the "BBL Drizzy" meme, though, when he made a beat under the same name and urged aspiring artists to hop on it and diss Drake. The beat was extremely catchy, and the "BBL Drizzy" challenge went viral. We can't imagine a ton of people are going to purchase the accompanying Fashion Nova costume, though.

Rihanna Laughs At Reporter Who Asks If She Attended Diddy Parties: Watch

Diddy knows everybody in the music industry. He's been one of the most well-connected moguls of the last three decades. Anyone who has made it big has been photographed with him, or has interacted with him at some point. Rihanna is no exception. The pop icon was recently leaving a party when journalists approached her and began asking her about the Diddy scandal. She was asked whether she had ever attended one of the mogul's alleged "freak offs," and she gave a characteristically Rihanna answer.

The questions were quick and direct. "Did you attend any of P. Diddy's parties?," the singer was asked while being escorted by her security. "Were you involved in any of the 'freak offs'?" It was the second line of questioning that elicited a response. Rihanna couldn't help but crack a smirk, and she can be seen and heard mumbling the phrase "that's crazy" as she gets in her vehicle. The timing of her response was not lost on the journalists, who can be heard laughing behind the camera. The singer might find the whole thing crazy, but this question has seemingly become the norm for fans and journalists.

Rihanna Dismissed The Questions As Being "Crazy"

Rihanna and Diddy have not have many interactions over the years. At least, publicly. They have been photographed together at parties and public events. They exchanged niceties during the 2014 iHeart Radio Music Awards when they were both onstage. Diddy also commented on the domestic abuse that Rihanna suffered at the hands of Chris Brown. Unsurprisingly, the mogul's comments have aged very poorly in light of the allegations made against him. "We know sometimes those relationships get ugly, you know," he said during a 2009 appearance on Ellen.

People want to know who was and wasn't involved with Diddy's alleged crimes. Joe Budden, a man who gets paid to talk about other artists for a living, felt the need to set the record straight during his podcast. "For the last time, can y’all take me off the list of names that y’all think is on these tapes," the ex-rapper asked. "I ran the jokes long but I thought the joke was a joke because of who I be." Then there was Trick Daddy. The Miami rapper went on Instagram Live and threatened to beat up the next person who asked if he ever attended a Diddy party. "I'mma slap the sh*t out you," he asserted. "They don't like my kind at them parties."
