'I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it,' Singh wrote. 'I shouldn't have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted this city and [Canada]. For me, it'll always be Drake over Kendrick.'
Lamar stepped onto Drake's home turf on Thursday, playing his first of two concerts at the Rogers Centre since the rift between the music superstars intensified last year.

Drake who? In his Toronto return, Kendrick Lamar rose above the drama to deliver a career-spanning spectacle
Richie Assaly
He performed some of his hits including 'Humble' and 'All the Stars' alongside SZA, but also played 'Not Like Us,' one of the most inflammatory diss tracks in his feud with Drake.
The song has led to a legal battle between Drake and the U.S. record label that represents both men. Drake is suing Universal Music Group for defamation for publishing and promoting 'Not Like Us.' In legal documents, he said the song's lyrics wrongly accuse him of being a pedophile, jeopardizing his safety and damaging his reputation. None of the allegations has been proven in court.

‘Kisses yes, Bezos No,' protesters say, as billionaire's wedding bonanza divides Venice
Hundreds of protesters marched through Venice's central streets on Saturday to say 'No' to billionaire Jeff Bezos, his bride and their much-anticipated wedding extravaganza, which reached its third and final day amid celebrity-crowded parties and the outcries of tired residents. On Friday, the world's fourth-richest man and his bride Lauren Sanchez Bezos tied the knot during a private ceremony with around 200 celebrity guests on the secluded island of San Giorgio. The wedding, however, divided Venice, with some activists protesting it as an exploitation of the city by the billionaire Bezos, while ordinary residents suffer from overtourism, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding. As the two newlyweds prepared for the final party on Saturday evening, hundreds of Venetians and protesters from across Italy filled Venice's tiny streets with colorful banners reading 'Kisses Yes, Bezos No' and 'No Bezos, no War.' Story continues below advertisement The demonstration contrasted with the expensive wedding bonanza, seen by critics as an affront to the lagoon city's fragile environment and its citizens, overwhelmed by throngs of tourists. 'We are here to continue ruining the plans of these rich people, who accumulate money by exploiting many other people … while the conditions of this city remain precarious,' said Martina Vergnano, one of the demonstrators.

But many protesters saw the move as a clear example of 'greenwashing.' Story continues below advertisement 'We want a free Venice, which is finally dedicated to its citizens. … Those donations are just a misery and only aimed at clearing Bezos' conscience,' said Flavio Cogo, a Venetian activist who joined Saturday's protest. Details of the exclusive wedding ceremony Friday night were a closely guarded secret, until Sánchez Bezos posted to Instagram a photo of herself beaming in a white gown as she stood alongside a tuxedo-clad Bezos. Athletes, celebrities, influencers and business leaders converged to revel in extravagance that was as much a testament to the couple's love as to their extraordinary wealth. 2:47 Inside Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's star-studded Venice wedding week The star-studded guest list included Oprah Winfrey and NFL great Tom Brady, along with Hollywood stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Orlando Bloom, tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Bill Gates and top socialites, including the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Story continues below advertisement Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their three children also joined the celebrations. The bride and groom stayed at the Aman Venice hotel on the Grand Canal, where Bezos posed for photos and Sanchez Bezos blew kisses to the press. 'The planet is burning but don't worry, here's the list of the 27 dresses of Lauren Sánchez,' read one protest slogan, a reference to the bride's reported wedding weekend wardrobe. It featured a mermaid-lined wedding gown by Dolce & Gabbana and other Dolce Vita-inspired looks by Italian designers, including Schiaparelli and Bottega Veneta. The city administration has strongly defended the nuptials as in keeping with Venice's tradition as an open city that has welcomed popes, emperors and ordinary visitors alike for centuries.

Court approves first property sale in liquidation of Guzzo Cinemas as family fights to revive chain
As Ferraris rolled into the parking lot of the newly reopened Mega-Plex in Terrebonne this week for a Brad Pitt Formula 1 movie event, it felt like a flash of old-school cinema glamour. But elsewhere in Quebec, a court quietly approved the sale of part of the Guzzo cinema group — the latest chapter of the liquidation of what was once one of the province's largest independent theatre chains. The decision marks a turning point as it's the first property sale under receivership while the group works to repay tens of millions in debt. In a June 25 ruling, the court approved the sale of the real estate in Laval, which includes a cinema. The buyer is linked to real estate firm Wilnor Group, said court-appointed receiver Dominic Deslandes. The sale price remains under seal. The court also approved $700,000 to cover legal and administrative costs. 'The transaction has been approved by the court. It can be executed right away,' Deslandes said. 'The only thing that's left to be done in court next Monday is the distribution of the funds coming from this transaction.' From household name to court-ordered closing Founded in 1974 by Italian entrepreneur Angelo Guzzo, Cinémas Guzzo grew from a single-screen theatre into a household name. By the 2010s, the family-run chain had more than 150 screens. Vincenzo Guzzo — Angelo's only child and a former Dragons' Den panellist — became the public face of the business, amassing more than a million Instagram followers. But like many theatre chains, Guzzo's empire faltered during the pandemic. Lockdowns shuttered cinemas, audiences stayed home, and the rise of streaming services deepened the financial hit. By late 2024, Guzzo owed more than $100 million and was placed under interim receivership with 13 weeks to recover. After disappointing holiday sales, the court intervened, leading to the closing of two locations in January — including the flagship at Marché Central — and a further shutdown of the remaining theatres the following month. One location reopens Nearly 40 potential buyers expressed interest in Guzzo's holdings earlier this year, Deslandes said in February. That list has since narrowed to more serious contenders. Two real estate assets remain for sale: a strip mall in St-Léonard that includes a cinema, and a parcel of land in Laval. Talks are continuing, though Deslandes declined to offer details. Meanwhile, moveable assets have also begun to be sold off. One exception is the Terrebonne Mega-Plex as Vincenzo reopened this location earlier in May. 'We're going to rebuild what we lost,' Vincenzo Guzzo told Sophie Durocher's show at the time. He still remains optimistic about a comeback. Though Guzzo submitted a letter of intent, no formal bid has followed so far. And Deslandes said there's still significant amounts of debt to repay. 'After all the assets are sold, we'll have a clearer picture of whether anything is left for unsecured creditors — but probably not,' he said. 'There's a lot of liability across the group and a lot of companies involved.' The next court hearing is set for Monday, when the judge is expected to rule on how proceeds from the Laval sale will be distributed. This story was originally published June 28, 2025 at 11:58 AM.
