Rihanna has officially released her music video for "Work," featuring Drake, and surprise! It's a double feature!
The singer dropped two different versions of the video in the same clip for fans. The first version of the video, which was teased last week, features Rihanna and Drake at a party dancing to the reggae track with other partygoers. The second version, which plays immediately after, is a simpler version with just Ri and Drake dancing and performing in front of the camera.
Check out both versions below!
Rihanna has officially released her newest single, "Work," featuring Drake! Plus, Tidal leaks her track list for upcoming album ANTI!
The reggae-infused, mellow track was released exclusively on Tidal! I know some of us keep signing up for free trials just to get some of this new music!
"Work" is available for purchase now on iTunes. Check out the official track below and on Tidal!
The singer is also rumored to be dropping her highly-anticipated album, ANTI, sometime this week (with the ANTI World Tour coming in February!). The track list was leaked accidentally by Tidal, before they immediately took it down. We'll definitely be on the lookout!

What do you think of "Work?"
Exclusively released through Apple Music, Drake drops the video for "Energy" off of his latest album, If You're Reading This It's Too Late.
Check out the video below!
BONUS: Check out Drake's Interview with Zane Lowe where he speaks on his upcoming album Views From the 6, the "Energy" music video, and the premiere of OVO Sound Radio on Apple Music.
More legal trouble for Drake? According to TMZ, a Hollywood jeweler, Michael Raphael (owner of Baden Baden Inc), is suing the rapper for allegedly creation copies of his almost $50,000 owl pendant for Drake's own crew! The owl pendant is one that Drake rocks a lot.
Raphael claims that his company was hired to make Drake this custom diamond and platinum pendant back in January, which was paid for by Drake for $49,204. Six months later, Raphael saw copied gold designs of the pendants on Drake's Instagram account (these celebs stay getting in trouble with their social media accounts!). With the suit, Drake faces copyright infringement as well as having to cough up the copied pendants! Goodness! This isn't Drake's first suit surrounding his fashion, though. His stylist sued him just last month for alleged unpaid bills. Drake, if this is indeed true, I need you to cough up the money! You get paid WAY too much to ever stiff folks out of their cash.
In other Drizzy news, he officially dropped his trailer for his third album, Nothing Was The Same, which drops September 24, a month before the rapper's 27th birthday! Check it out below!

***Explicit Content*** Drake has officially released his new single from his upcoming third album. Titled "Started From The Bottom," Drake raps about his journey from living at home with his mom to making it big in the rap industry. He also gave his fans a letter on his site talking about his return to music, showing us all that he's still around and has more in store for us this year and beyond.
Check out the song and Drake's letter below!
Drake wrote:
"My good friends,
It has truly been too long. I assume you’re all keeping well and making the most of this year that has been given to us. Today is the day to begin sharing my newest work with you. This is the first single off of my upcoming album. I feel sometimes that people don’t have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn’t consistent with actual events. My family and my second family (consisting of the best friends anybody could ever have) all struggled and worked extremely hard to make all this happen. I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I’m excited for this song to find a place in your life as well. I didn’t feel I needed any interviews or radio or press to launch this song. It felt right to come back to the site that I started on and release it to the people that started here with me. Judging by this post, the tour that we’ve been planning, the conversations about new songs and album artwork…I think it’s safe to say we’re back together again. Looking forward to seeing you all soon."
Love this song! What do you think of "Started From The Bottom?"
Chris Brown apparently got a pretty nasty cut on his chin from a bottle thrown allegedly after his entourage clashed with Drake’s friends in a club.
The NYPD confirmed to TMZ that the crews got into a fight at WIP Nightclub in NYC with 5 people being injured, one of them being Chris. The police got to the scene after getting a call between 4 and 5 a.m., but neither Chris and Drake were there when the cops showed up. No arrests were made.
Though NYPD didn’t slap on any cuffs, you know Breezy. He HAD to take to social media to talk about it. That’s what it’s for, right?After the fight, Chris shared a pic of his injury onTwitter saying, “How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol… Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!.”
The photo and the message, of course were since removed from Chris’ page. Chris is known to tweet his mishaps and adventures, and then takes it down moments later (thanks to his publicity team, I'm sure). Rumor has it that the fight was all over Rihanna, who Drake has been rumored to have hooked up with in the past. For someone who they both have supposedly gotten over (Chris has a new girlfriend now and Drake has his other side chicks), her name sure does come up a lot with the two of them! Simmer down boys.

"And all you bitches that be hating can catch the bouquet."-Drake
Ok, I really like Nicki, and I'm glad that "Moment For Life" was the next single off of Pink Friday. Definitely one of my favorite tracks. MTV premiered the video about a half hour ago.
I'm not gonna tell you the whole video treatment. What I will say is that the fashion is hot, Drake and Nicki really would make a cute couple, and watch out for a fairy godmother named Martha haha! Bravo Nicki. And Drake, sexy as always ;) Signed, a fan since you was just a yellow boy that used to play up on Degrassi. Watch the video below!
"Just like you, I get lonely too." Drake has dropped the first track from his upcoming R&B (yes R&B) mixtape It's Never Enough. Real chill R&B record. I love Drake's voice. I mean, he's no Usher or Ginuwine lol but he can still hold a note. His music makes me smile :) Listen to "I Get Lonely" below!
PEACE.
Hahaha ok edit. It's a joke. I knew it probably was. But I mean, THINK. What if they ever did one day? Imagine Mrs. Onika Graham rocking a ring, walking down red carpets with Drake. Would be an interesting site. Back in my heyday, I might have killed Nicki LOL, but I have since moved on. So one day, maybe they might do it. After all Drake loves Nicki Minaj....he did admit it haha
PEACE.
Well yall know the song, so watch the video! Just premiered tonight. I like this song a lot, but I want Drake to release "Fancy" already!!!!! That's the video I'm really ready for, but this one was ok. Just a bunch of performance shots, with the random dancer in there. And guess they shot Weezy's part before he went in. SMART! You know instead of having "FREE_____" shirts in your videos. Shoot them rapping before they go in if you're gonna do a video for the song. Lesson to the industry.
PEACE.
Hey yall, sorry I missed you yesterday. Laziness is NOT GOOD! But I'm here. This inside look actually came out last week, but because I love this song, I had to put up this sneak peek of Drake's music video for "Fancy," featuring T.I. and Swizz Beatz. LOL at T.I. Man, I can't wait for this video! New ladies anthem...
Morning yall...Happy Thursday! To my working folk, one more day til the weekend yall, just keep pressing :)
According to NYDailyNews.com, yet another free outdoor Drake concert has been cancelled. ABC was going to host Drake for a July 16th performance on "Good Morning America" as a part of their summer concert series, which has hosted Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, and the Jonas Brothers. The concert idea in Central Park was scrapped after the NYPD determined the security plan wasn't up to par. This is the second time a Drake concert has been canceled in NY in the past month. As we all know, Drake's June 15 free concert to celebrate the release of Thank Me Later at South Street Seaport was canceled after things got a little crazy with 25,000 fans showing up.
To me, this just shows the amount of love and support people got for him. Sucks he probably won't ever be able to do something like that though. A free concert in Central Park is a great idea. It's just too much hype around him for him to safely perform, I feel, unless there's HEAVY security. Ten or fifteen security guards around the perimeter ain't really gonna cut it.
PEACE.
Ok, keeping my BET Awards theme today going...here are some of my favorite moments from last night's show! Watch the videos after the jump.
Nia Long and Larenz Tate-Love Jones Flashback Larenz had me about to fall out...mmm.
Eminem's Performance Got Keyshia and B.O.B. in there, but it was mainly for Eminem. Dude SLAUGHTERED!
Drake's performance with Young Jeezy Why? Cuz he's amazing. PERIOD.
Chris Brown's Tribute to MJ Finally!!!
Patti LaBelle's Tribute To Prince-"Purple Rain" Patti's awesome, plus I loved her kicking off them shoes!!!!
There were several other moments I liked, but these were my top five!
PEACE.
Ok, so there's this unsigned group that's huge on YouTube named Ahmir! They do covers of popular songs, and have a few of their own that they post up on YouTube. My friend got me hooked on them earlier in the year. So I saw their cover of Drake's "Find Your Love" that they posted yesterday. I swear, I love them. Their voices...mmmmm...THEIR VOICES! I might have to start posting them from time to time for yall. Check out the cover below!
"Find Your Love"-Ahmir (Drake Cover)
PEACE.
Yeah, ok so I love Drake. I loved him when he was Jimmy on Degrassi credited as Aubrey Graham, and when I watched a mini documentary on him and his life, and saw his lyrical ability, I knew he would be a hot rapper. And he is. People are really starting to see that. It's good to see him pursuing his passion and doing a really great job of it. And "Best I Ever Had" is a hot song! Love it!
But this video....this video....Oh Kanye (the director)...Oh Drake... yeah maybe next time it will be a tad bit better.
But as I was writing this, I found an explanation of the video by Drake which makes some sense: "The concept of the video is, I'm a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team," he explained. "Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don't take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning." I guess I see what he's saying...BUT STILL!!! LOL
Yeah, I'm sorry but that COULD NOT have been comfortable with those girls having their breasts all out and those booty shorts on trying to play ball. I played sports in high school. You gotta have everything secure in the upper area cuz looseness will definitely not work LOL and HELLO? Wedgies! I know they were feeling them that day....
The video had its funny moments though... Drake: "I don't know what is happening here. Our team is just falling apart. Take that D like the champions that you are!" Girl: "But Drake, all you ever taught us how to do was STRETCH!" Drake: "That's-That's an essential part of the game and that's why I focused so much time on that."
LMAO!!!! I was dying laughing at that!!! I'm still a big fan, Drake. I understand your concept, but next time you gotta come better! Love you though.
Oh, and can somebody tell me what in the world was that mascot in the beginning? I'm thinking it was a bird, but it looked like a bear in the face! I'm so confused! Somebody please enlighten me LOL!
