Jermaine Dupri Hints At Drake Getting His Own Radio Station In ‘Grand Theft Auto 6'
While speaking with Rory and Mal on their eponymous podcast, the Atlanta super producer casually revealed, 'They asked me to do Grand Theft Auto, and they were saying like Drake got his own radio station on Grand Theft Auto.'
According to Dupri, not only has Rockstar Games tapped the rap icon for his own personalized in-game radio station, but 'Drake can actually upload music that we probably have never even heard online on that video game,' he shared. That means GTA VI may have the ability to debut exclusive tracks through gameplay. The highly anticipated game is set to release on May 26, 2026.
While Rockstar hasn't confirmed Drake's acquirement, notably fans have long desired the ability to curate their own radio stations within the GTA universe. If true, the Toronto star might be the first to make that vision a virtual reality.
Aside from the 'Nokia' rapper, ScHoolboy Q also revealed back in February 2023 that he'd be featured musically in GTA VI, while T-Pain shared he had worked with Rockstar as well. And though DJ Khaled hasn't confirmed his involvement directly, rumors earlier this year suggested he might be hosting his own station when the game drops. If artists can use the game as a DSP to drop exclusives, the lines between streaming culture and gaming will get blurrier and a lot more interesting.
Diving more into the streaming world, Drake is set to appear on Kai Cenat's livestream to review entries for their 'Somebody Loves Me' music video contest. The event, which was supposed to take place last night (June 12) was postponed until further notice. 'We need more time with the treatments for 'Somebody Loves Me,' so we are pushing the stream back a few more days,' Cenat explained via Instagram Story. No new date has been revealed yet.

Drake at Co-Op Live: Rapper makes triumphant return to Manchester with career-spanning setlist
It's been six years since he last graced the Manchester stage on his 2019 Assassination Vacation tour but Drake came back with a bang last night (July 25). Kicking off the first of FOUR shows in the city at Co-op Live as part of his Some Special Shows 4 U European tour, the five-time Grammy-award winning and multi-platinum rapper bursts on stage with "Gimme A Hug". Wearing a simple blue shirt and brown jeans and greeted by his thousands of adoring fans, he has an important question for them: "Where my Day Ones at?" READ MORE: Drake at Manchester Co-Op Live start and finish times READ MORE: Manchester gets world-first performance of new Drake track as he brings out special guest He's referring to his 2009/2010 listeners and tells them: "Manchester, make some f*****g noise!" as he launches into a nostalgia fest of Marvin's Room, Teenage Fever, Passionfruit and Jungle. "Y'all ready to go? I'm ready to take off!" he shouts, as, on cue, flames shoot up from the stage and he belts out hit track "What Did I Miss?" Headlines is followed by further pyromania as fire cannons go off and Drizzy bounces around the stage and pounds down the runways with enormous energy, not to mention dexterity, as he dances atop the crowd. "I'm just getting started! What do you wanna do? I'm here all night!" he says, launching into Nonstop and No Face. Then, following a raunchy display by female dancers clad in bondage attire, he is joined by fellow Canadian rapper PARTYNEXTDOOR, who he collaborated with on the album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. The pair take it down a notch to perform lover's lament CN Tower, Something About You, and Die Trying, finishing up with the plaintive Come and See Me. Laugh Now, Cry Later is then followed by God's Plan. "Sing it with me, but sing it like you mean it!" he implores the more than up-for-it crowd, of whom there are some 17,000. In My Feelings precedes the rallying cry of Nice For What, as he addresses the ladies in the audience: "This is for all you ladies who got kids, who got your own place and don't need no m**********n' man!" And to delight the ladies in the crowd, even further, he passes right next to a stunned sea of faces as he casually saunters up the steps to the DJ area and serenades the crowd, just inches away from his adoring fans. "Whatever else is going on in your lives tonight, I want you to forget it", he says, before performing Controlla, Hold On We're Going Home and the smash hit One Dance. Then, back in the heart of the crowd, he performs Girls Want Girls, Fancy and Rich Baby Daddy, his tattooed biceps flexing, to the swoons of his lady fans. It's time for a bit of anti-love now though and he gets the crowd on his side: "I want you to think of the worst exes you have, the worst examples you got on your phone, everything they put you through. I want you to take your m************ finger and put it to the sky." "F**k all your exes!" he roars, before belting out You Broke My Heart. The crowd are then treated to a surprise appearance from British rapper Central Cee, who, sporting a green rucksack, could just have come straight from Piccadilly train station. Back to Drake and the irresistibly catchy Nokia is up next, with cries of "Babygirl" echoing across the arena. In fact, there appears barely a single word to a song that the audience don't know. Yebba's Heartbreak makes for a chilled finale as Drake proudly brandishes a pink bra that a fan has thrown onto the stage. "This is a ten out of ten crowd tonight and it's been a while since I got a bra!" he says. "If there's one thing I love in this life, it's some t*****s!" He then leaves the crowd with a deeper message: "I hope you achieve everything you want", he says. "And remember, you don't get that by being a piece of s**" but by being a good person." "I got my mum in the building tonight!" he then reveals, but mum it seems, is staying schtum, as well as invisible, to the disappointment of the fans. '"I got 17,000 people in Birmingham tonight!" he then shouts, to a somewhat confused crowd, before quickly rescuing his faux-pas with a: "Goodnight Manchester!" And a good night it most definitely has been. In true Manchester style, it might have been drizzling outside tonight but both him, and the stage, were on fire.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Drake & Central Cee, Morgan Wallen, Sombr and More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Drake and Central Cee offer a mid-summer single, Morgan Wallen corrals a pair of rap stars and Sombr keeps getting better. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard Rainbow Kitten Surprise Lead Top TV Songs Chart With 'Ginny & Georgia' Synch Watch Celine Dion Dance to the New Sebastian Ingrosso Remix of One of Her Classics Lady Gaga Declares That She Is a 'Labubu' in Silly Pre-Mayhem Ball Show Video Drake feat. Central Cee, 'Which One' Comeback season continues for Drake: after scoring a surprise smash with 'Nokia' and taking names on 'What Did I Miss?,' he now returns to dancehall mode on 'Which One,' a team-up with Central Cee built around a summer-ready beat, a nod to Rihanna's 'Work' and lyrics that are aimed at a significant other but could also apply to a resurgent Drizzy ('F–k anyone that's bringing you down'). Morgan Wallen feat. Lil Wayne & Rick Ross, 'Miami (Remix)' As Morgan Wallen has ascended to superstardom over the past half-decade, he's added countless fans who wouldn't consider themselves country music diehards; with a new remix of I'm the Problem track 'Miami,' Wallen tries to add some more by bringing in an Auto-Tuned Lil Wayne and a grunting Rick Ross, who bulk up the song's crossover appeal with veteran hip-hop panache. Sombr, '12 to 12' Addison Rae co-starring in the music video for Sombr's new single '12 to 12' has been worthy of headlines, but the top story here is Shane Boose's continued growth as a pop-rock savant: here, he applies the fuzzed-out vocal longing of breakthrough hits 'Back to Friends' and 'Undressed' to shimmering dance music, and arrives at a sound at once propulsive and irresistible. YoungBoy Never Broke Again, A few months after President Trump pardoned YoungBoy Never Broke Again in March, the rap star tips his cap with the album title MASA ('Make America Slime Again') — although the gargantuan, 93-minute project is less of a political statement than a check-in from one of hip-hop's most enigmatic personalities, who brings in Playboi Carti for the burbling 'Fire Your Manager' but limits the guest list otherwise. Lola Young, 'd£aler' Since 'Messy' brought her voice to the world, Lola Young has showcased different sides of her R&B-informed pop songwriting — and with her latest single from upcoming album I'm Only Fucking Myself, Young gives us a glimpse of her most skittish impulses, with her fear of being hurt morphing into a desire to run away and the bouncing synths soundtracking her vulnerability. Tyla, EP Summer wouldn't feel complete without some new heat from Tyla, whose new EP WWP ('We Wanna Party') offers 11 minutes of movement built around sensual melodies; the previously released 'Bliss' works well in context as the closing track here, while the Wizkid collaboration 'Dynamite' sounds like a potential hit, the two voices intertwined and forming a flirtatious dance cut. Tame Impala, 'End of Summer' Anyone who's ever boogied to 'Let It Happen' or 'Is It True' in a festival field understands that Tame Impala can deploy a danceable iteration of their psych-rock, but 'End of Summer,' a seven-minute single that marks Kevin Parker's Columbia Records debut, is a full-on club track, with a slow build that thumps harder than anything on The Slow Rush and an uptempo, downright sweaty payoff. Editor's Pick: Tyler Childers, Within the first minute of Tyler Childers' new album — the alt-country star's voice rolling over syllables and quivering with passion on the opener 'Eatin' Big Time' — it's clear that Snipe Hunter will ratchet up the stakes for Childers, whose audience has grown considerably as he's moved adjacently to Nashville's biggest trends and evolved his storytelling process.

You're more likely to win Powerball 100 times than do what this California mom did
An Apple Valley mother just went 4 for 4 on her kids all being born on the date 7/7. Just before Nauzhae Drake, now 26, delivered her firstborn, she called her mother while driving to school. She told her that she saw a license plate that ended in four sevens — her lucky number. Drake's mom took it as a sign. 'She was like, 'Yep, that's because he's coming on that day',' Drake said. 'And I'm like, no, he's not.' But on July 7, 2019, Drake delivered her oldest, Kewan. Two years later, on the same date, she delivered Na'Zaiyla. And in 2022, on the same date, she delivered Khalani. And about two weeks ago, on July 7, Drake delivered a baby boy, Kailowa. None of her babies were induced and none of them arrived on their due date. Drake feels that it's a 'sign from God at this point,' she said. Drake is currently in nursing school, graduating in December. She said she went through all of her clinical rotations carrying Kailowa. 'They're telling me to stop doing this and that because I'm doing a lot, they're like, 'you're going to make yourself go into labor,' ' Drake said. 'But I ended up finishing all of my clinicals and all of that, and I'm like, 'I'm still pregnant!'' Some mothers have tactics for inducing labor — eating spicy food, exercising, driving down a bumpy road. For Drake, decorating for her kids' birthday party seems to do the trick. 'I would be doing a balloon arch,' she said. 'And every time I do the balloon arch, like two hours later, when I lay down, my water breaks or I start having contractions.' Drake usually goes all out for her kids' birthdays, renting an Airbnb home with a pool and throwing a big party, along with visits to amusement parks like Sesame Place, SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo. This year's birthday party was circus-themed, but it didn't go as planned. 'My mother, my grandmother actually was in the delivery room with me and they had on like clown suits because they were ready for the party,' Drake said. 'And I was ready for the party too, until I went into labor.' Some kids get jealous when a sibling's birthday rolls around and all the attention turns to the birthday child. Drake said her kids love sharing a birthday, and they're especially excited for this year's present, another sibling. 'They fight over him already,' she said, of Kailowa. 'They're so helpful. It's been amazing.' So what are the odds of something like this happening? According to Randall Swift, chairman of the math department at California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, you are more likely to win the Powerball lottery 100 times than to have four children born on the same date. Instead of four siblings, he calculated using an instance of four independent individuals at a grocery store. The probability of these random strangers all having the same birthday is about 0.000000000056349%, he said. But he said these odds may be higher for a mother giving birth on the same date, depending on personal habits and health patterns. But to Drake, this coincidence is a blessing, she said. Seven has always been Drake's favorite number, but it has a new meaning to her now. 'It's perfection, completion,' she said.
