Singer and former 106 & Park host Keshia Chanté announced on October 6, 2026, that she is seven months pregnant with her first child, a boy.

Drake’s representative quickly denied the rumors, calling them false, though Chanté has not publicly identified the father.
Singer and former '106 & Park' host Keshia Chanté, 38, announced on October 6 that she is pregnant with her first child. She shared black-and-white photos of her baby bump on Instagram, expressing gratitude and excitement. While she confirmed the father is involved, she did not name him, leading fans to speculate that rapper Drake is the parent due to their past relationship and her mention of a studio booking for the child.
Drake released the 'Solar Eclipse' remix featuring Don Toliver on streaming platforms after forfeiting his publishing share to Ella Langley. The track, which interpolates Langley's No. 1 hit 'Choosin' Texas,' was added to the 'HABIBTI (FOMO)' deluxe edition on October 2, 2026, following intense fan demand and unofficial uploads.
Israel Daramola uses Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire trial and the Tupac case to argue that rap violence has become entertainment and a revenue engine for media and fans, often at the cost of real lives; the piece ties personal memories of ’90s gangsta rap to a broader critique of the commodification and sensationalism that keep violence and spectacle at the center of modern rap, including Drake’s hollow lifestyle persona.
Drake premiered an hourlong, self‑funded livestream project titled Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), a surreal film that pairs clips and new songs from his recent albums with guest appearances and a slowed remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” featuring Don Toliver and a Yeat collaboration. The videos span material from his latest era, include cameos, and culminate in a Hotline Bling‑style reveal; the stream went private after the premiere. The project follows a year of unexpected releases (Iceman, Maid of Honour, Habibti) and is described by Drake as a creative, summer‑life meditation rather than a traditional album.
Netflix has greenlit Jonny Boy, a five-episode Top Boy prequel led and produced by Barry Keoghan, who will reprise Jonny McGee and executive-produce via Wolfcub. Creator-writer Ronan Bennett returns, with Drake among the executive producers, and Ali Abbasi attached to direct. Filming is set to begin in 2027. The series expands on Jonny McGee’s origin story within the Top Boy universe, following the show’s BAFTA-winning Netflix revival and 2023 finale.
A Harvard University study analyzed the 10 most-streamed albums released between 2017 and 2022 and found that US traffic fatalities rose on album-release days versus surrounding days, averaging a roughly 18% increase and about 182 extra deaths across the releases. Drake’s records showed the largest rise, Taylor Swift’s releases a smaller effect, and Kanye West’s Donda showed no notable impact. The researchers suggest streaming on smartphones may distract drivers, especially solo and younger drivers, though they could not confirm whether crashes involved actual music streaming. The findings highlight broader distracted-driving risks as smartphones and connected cars become more common.
Drake reaffirmed his appreciation for goth girls after his 20v1 appearance on Stake’s ninth-anniversary stream, pointing to Pinkchyu—the goth contestant who won—as part of his ongoing vibe and posting “This sh*t not new.” Despite backlash over the broadcast, he framed the moment as lighthearted fun and indicated he’ll continue streaming on Kick.
Drake is reportedly following through on a promise to buy Pinkchyu's mother a house after the viral “Goth Baddie” moment from his speed-dating challenge, with TMZ/Yahoo Entertainment coverage noting the pledge.
Pinkchyu told TMZ that Drake’s promise to buy her mom a house is being kept, but they did not hook up after the 20v1 event. The two chatted at an after-party and kept things professional, while Drake’s charitable gesture toward her family is highlighted as the real takeaway. Pinkchyu notes she uses her OnlyFans earnings to support her family and is grateful for Drake’s generosity.
Drake joined a Nelk-produced speed-dating special on the streaming platform Kick, meeting a rotating slate of contestants (many from OnlyFans) and ultimately selecting cosplay creator Pinkchyu (Lin Lamar), who wins a house for her retired mother. The piece also revisits Drake’s long history of high-profile romances, from Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez to Serena Williams, Hailey Bieber, SZA, Sophie Brussaux, Ericka Lee, and Johanna Leia.
Drake’s three-hour Kick livestream, tied to Stake’s anniversary, devolves into a chaotic 20‑v‑1 dating-show spectacle with Birkin gifts and cameos as he touts three new albums and fires off warning shots to rivals—“the pen isn’t dry”—while fueling beef chatter and denying direct feuds with Lil Yachty or Roc Nation.
Karol G’s seventh album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto dives into heartbreak with raw vulnerability, moving away from Tropicoqueta’s stadium-pop toward moody, intimate sounds that blend Latin pop, indie rock, and experimental pop. It features high-profile collaborations (Drake, Bruno Mars) and a host of producers, and includes Still, her first fully English track, as she processes a public breakup with Feid and critiques of her career.
Drake appears on Karol G’s new album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto in the track Ahí, cleverly interpolating his own MAID OF HONOUR moment from the song New Bestie and even dropping bars about wanting a Latina and a Karolina look. The collaboration follows Drake’s prior shout-out on New Bestie and a Jumbotron moment at Karol G’s Toronto show, underscoring a continued high‑profile connection between the two artists.
Karol G released her sixth studio album, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, featuring collaborations with Drake, Bruno Mars and other artists. The set includes singles such as Después de Ti (with Greg Gonzalez), Matadora and Still (with Bruno Mars), Ahí (with Drake) and Bby Wow (with Judeline & Rusowsky), following Tropicoqueta (2025) and supporting her Tropitour with a Las Vegas show upcoming.
