The Drake/Aaliyah Posthumous Album Unfortunately Won’t Be Happening!
Drake has long pronounced his love for the late Aaliyah, tattooing the singer’s face on his back and wearing an earpiece baring her image during all of his shows. Back in the summer of 2012, Drizzy dropped a song featuring unreleased vocals from her, and revealed that soon, an entire collaborative album with himself and unheard music from Aaliyah would be released. Plenty of delays and negative comments from people close to her and not so close (like fans) later, the project has been officially kicked to the curb. OVO’s in-house producer Noah ’40’ Shebib dropped the news in a new interview with Vibe, saying, “The world reacting to Drake’s involvement so negatively, I just wanted nothing to do with it. Ultimately, I wasn’t comfortable and didn’t like the stigma.” “We released [‘Enough Said’], but I was seven songs deep,” the producer added. “[Aaliyah’s] mother saying, ‘I don’t want this out,’ was enough for me. I walked away very quickly.” Damn, I wanted to hear this!
(Video) LOL! Drake Sings Kanye West’s “Heartless” On Karaoke
Drake and his crew had some time to spare last night, and rented out a private karaoke room to have a few laughs. Drizzy, continuing his recently-blossomed bromance with Kanye West, opted for Yeezy’s 2008 hit “Heartless,” while his road manager CJ Gibson went for “Diamonds” from Drake’s former-flame, Rihanna. What’s perhaps most interesting about this is the caption Drake chose to put on his video of CJ. He made sure not to make note of Rih at all, but yet sent the @ to her best friend, Melissa Forde. As rumors continue to circulate that he dropped Rih recently and got together with Zoe Kravitz, perhaps there’s some tension? Hmm!
(Video & Pics) NCAA: Drake Attends the Orange Bowl Rocking DKNY
It looks like Drake is continuing to make his rounds in the sports world and this time he was at the Orange Bowl as a guest of Ohio State. Many thought he would be on the sideline but he mingled with fans and took pictures from his suite. Unfortunately the Buckeyes suffered a 40-35 loss to Clemson but it looks like he still had a good time.
