Travis Scott supports Drake's new single amid beef rumors
Travis Scott appears to be shutting down beef rumors with Drake after publicly showing support for his new track, 'What Did I Miss?' On July 11, Scott posted a screenshot of the song's chorus on his Instagram Story, adding the caption: 'Lessss goooo.' This small gesture has sparked conversation among fans, who have speculated about a falling-out between the two rappers. Travis posts Drakes 'What Did I Miss' to his IG story — ALMIGHTEE. (@realalmightee) July 11, 2025 Beef rumors started in 2024 during the Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud. Fans pointed to Travis Scott encouraging Future and Metro Boomin to play 'Like That'—a track that later turned out to contain a diss aimed at Drake. The moment fueled speculation that La Flame had taken sides against his long-time collaborator. However, this new show of support suggests otherwise. It's not the first time Travis has praised Drake's music recently. He also expressed love for 'NOKIA,' a song from Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR's collaborative project $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, and he reportedly tuned in to Drake's 'Anita Max Win' tour via FaceTime. Despite these positive signs, some fans remain unconvinced. They point to other moments, such as Travis linking with Cash XO—associated with The Weeknd, one of Drake's known rivals—and a cryptic stage visual during a Drake performance of 'MELTDOWN,' a song featuring Scott. With JACKBOYS 2 dropping on July 13 and both artists facing shade from Pusha T's verse on Clipse's Let God Sort Em Out, many believe any tension may be overblown. Whether the loyalty runs deep or the feud is real remains to be seen.

Hailey Bieber defends Justin Bieber as Swag album announcement shuts down divorce and mental health rumors
Justin Bieber has officially returned to the music scene with a new album titled Swag, released on July 12. This marks the Canadian singer's first full-length project in four years, following reports that he resolved financial disputes with former manager Scooter Braun. After months of speculation and cryptic social media posts, Bieber confirmed the news on July 11. Fans had already begun noticing Swag-themed billboards in Reykjavík, Iceland—where he had recently vacationed with wife Hailey Bieber and their newborn son, Jack Blues Bieber. Shortly after, a massive billboard in New York's Times Square revealed the album's full tracklist. Swag features collaborations with Cash Cobain, Sexyy Red, and Gunna. Bieber had previously teased the project by sharing behind-the-scenes clips of recording sessions with producers Carter Lang, DJ Tay James, and Eddie Benjamin. To mark the moment, Hailey Bieber shared a family photo and directly addressed ongoing online speculation surrounding her husband. Referencing one of Justin's viral memes, she wrote: 'Is it finally clocking to you fucking losers?' The post, widely interpreted as a clapback at critics of Justin's mental health and their relationship, quickly gained support from fans. While her language was bold, many praised Hailey's unapologetic stance and show of solidarity. The post also followed her recent move to shut down divorce rumors by posting a mirror selfie featuring her wedding ring.

Drake dominates: Pusha T downplays Kendrick Lamar in new interview
Rapper Pusha T has made waves with recent comments in an interview with Elliott Wilson, downplaying Kendrick Lamar's legacy and admitting that Drake 'washes' both him and Kendrick. During the conversation, Pusha T claimed he couldn't recall Kendrick's lyrics, suggesting that Kendrick's influence may be overrated. 'If I had to compete? Drake washes us both,' Pusha T stated, acknowledging Drake's commercial dominance and ubiquitous chart presence. He emphasized Drake's consistency: 'He's been running the game for a decade—can't knock that.' Pusha T also revealed his perspective on Kendrick's artistic impact: 'I really couldn't even start Kendrick's verse,' he confessed. 'If I asked how it started, I wouldn't know.' This echoes a moment from Drake's 2013 Elliott Wilson sit-down, where Drake claimed Kendrick's 'Control' verse was unforgettable… yet no one could recall how it began. By contrast, Pusha praised Drake's ability to deliver hits and maintain presence. 'He knows the game—what to drop, when to drop,' Pusha remarked, noting Drake's strategic consistency over flash. Fans online immediately responded, sparking debate across Twitter and hip‑hop forums about who truly leads the rap hierarchy: lyricism or longevity. Many called Pusha's comments "honest," while others fiercely defended Kendrick's cultural importance. The full interview with Elliott Wilson is available on X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube, drawing significant attention from the hip‑hop community. Whether fans agree or disagree, Pusha T's blunt take on the ongoing Drake–Kendrick legacy conversation is igniting fresh discussion in rap's evolving landscape.
