Drake Turns 39, Adds Six Diamond Plaques—Wall Space Files for Relief

Drake turns 39 with six new diamond certifications, including “Take Care,” “Nice for What,” and “The Motto” featuring Lil Wayne. The tally of his diamond plaques now climbs to 15, expanding an already crowded wall of RIAA hardware.

Albums like Views (9x) and If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (5x) continue inching toward diamond status, while newer tracks such as “Chicago Freestyle” and “Rich Flex” show steady ascension. Drake’s trophy room seems to be running out of shelf space just as Iceman approaches.

Drake flexes 2Pac's 1996 Death Row chain—Daz rolls eyes, others just nod

Interpolating nostalgia and a touch of spectacle, Drake shares what appears to be 2Pac’s original 1996 Death Row Records chain via Instagram, echoing the late rapper’s “All Eyez On Me” era. The pendant’s back reads “All Eyez on YOU 1996” while Pac, still in photo form, wears a matching chain on the album cover.

Reactions roll in—Moneybagg Yo approves, Gillie Da Kid nods, and Daz Dillinger counters with flippant dismissal. Drake had previously acquired 2Pac’s $1.1 million ruby crown ring in 2023. Now touring with PARTYNEXTDOOR, Drake keeps the spectacle moving across Europe.

Drake subpoenas alleged stream-bot middleman in UMG defamation brawl

A New York judge greenlights Drake’s request to subpoena Kojo Menne Asamoah in his defamation case against Universal Music Group. Asamoah is identified as a potential conduit in orchestrating alleged bot-streaming schemes to amplify Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

The track’s viral success and its inflammatory hook accusing Drake of being a “certified pedophile” now sit at the core of the lawsuit. Subpoena delivery spans physical addresses and email, aimed at prying open UMG’s internal mechanisms.

Jagmeet Singh attends Kendrick show, but says it's still Drake over everything

Spotted in the crowd at Kendrick Lamar's Toronto show, Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh sparks online retaliation after being branded a “goof” by Drake in a diss track. The NDP leader quickly backpedals, admitting he “shouldn’t have gone at all.”

Positioning himself squarely on Team Drake amid the Toronto rap feud, Singh makes it clear—despite attending the concert—that for him, “it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”
