Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Drake has had an eventful week in both music and headlines across Europe and online. Just days ago, he made waves on social media after a video surfaced, shared by the X account Kurrco, showing him intensely playing iMessage 8-ball at a bar in Germany. The playful moment instantly became a meme with fans split between roasting his gaming technique and demanding new music, according to Sportskeeda. While social chatter poked fun at his antics, the underlying sentiment for many was anticipation for his next big project.
On the professional front, Drake remains in the thick of his "$ome $pecial $hows 4 EU" summer tour alongside PARTYNEXTDOOR, following their acclaimed joint Valentine's album "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U." Drake just wrapped up a trio of sold-out shows at Cologne’s Lanxess Arena and played a headline show in Zurich, Switzerland. The atmosphere outside his Cologne hotel was electric as hundreds of fans gathered just to catch a glimpse, reports HotNewHipHop. He is set for upcoming concerts in Stockholm, Copenhagen, and major cities in Italy and France before returning to Germany for a final European leg in mid-September.
But the music isn’t the only story making noise. ABC News and X102.3 are tracking the intensification of Drake’s legal battle with Universal Music Group over the Kendrick Lamar diss track “Not Like Us.” Drake’s newly amended lawsuit directly targets top UMG executives, including CEO Lucian Grainge, claiming defamation and deceptive practices, and seeks significant damages. The suit alleges the label actively promoted Lamar’s Grammy-winning diss, which Drake argues was designed to harm his reputation. Grainge has dismissed the accusations as “ridiculous,” and the legal fight could be headed for a major court showdown unless a deal is reached soon.
Adding to the intrigue, Drake’s cryptic Instagram posts and mysterious captions are continuing to draw fire and speculation online, with HotNewHipHop capturing fan criticism and conjecture about whether it all ties into his lawsuit or the new album. Musically, his latest single “What Did I Miss?”—dropped July 5—catapulted to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and dominates streaming charts on Spotify and Apple Music.
Fans and critics alike are watching for his next solo album, “Iceman,” which is in active rollout now. There’s no release date yet, but Johnny Manziel recently hinted it may arrive as early as October or November, per HotNewHipHop. In the business department, Impact Wealth estimates Drake’s net worth at three hundred million dollars, with diversified streams of income from music, fashion through the OVO brands, and his successful NOCTA partnership with Nike. All eyes remain on both his upcoming music and the outcome of one of the hottest legal disputes in hip hop.
