Drake delivers rich flex by turning his basketball court into a T-shirt closet

News.com.au10-06-2025
When mere mortals have a wardrobe clean-out, we pile our clothes on the bed.
Rap superstar Drake moves his closet to the indoor basketball court in his Toronto mansion.
The Grammy-winning musician doesn't mind a rich flex but he raised the bar with his Instagram post showing off his T-shirt kingdom.
'Where's that one shirt though…,' he captioned the ostentatious warehouse-sized display.
Whoever organised his collection did a spectacular job, neatly arranging the thousands of T-shirts on tables and racks by colour and sleeve length.
'Let me look for that shirt one sec..,' Drake commented a couple of hours after posting the photo.
Fans went nuts over his wardrobe wealth.
Some played Where's Wally over the collection and spotting vintage sports tees and a tie-dyed Turks and Caicos souvenir shirt probably picked up on one of his holidays at the islands.
The corner of one maroon shirt prompted some Aussie fans to suggest it might the Queensland Reds jersey he sported during his tour here in February, which was abruptly cut short due to that old 'scheduling conflict' excuse.
He has collected a wide range of vintage sports apparel, with shirts from the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks.
'Boutta show this pic to my mom to prove to her that I'm not a hoarder,' commented rapper Russ.
'This is just overflow, show the rest,' demanded Drake's trainer Roxx.
'I bet he stares at that and says he got nothing to wear,' posted one fan.
Others who zoomed in on the collection spotted the rap star perusing the racks (left hand side about three rows down from the top).
It's not the first time Champagne Papi (his social media handle) has shown off his champagne lifestyle, or the NBA regulation-sized basketball court in his $150 million manor house he calls the Embassy.
The mega mansion also features an indoor swimming pool, a state-of-the-art recording studio and a bed that weights one tonne and features a recessed whiskey and champagne bar in the headboard.
The Hotline Bling star remains embroiled in his legal war with his label Universal, suing the world's biggest record company for defamation over their promotion of the Kendrick Lamar diss track Not Like Us.

International superstar singer Richard Marx to perform at 2025 Logies alongside Guy Sebastian

International superstar singer Richard Marx has been confirmed as one of the musical guests performing at the 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards on Sunday. The Grammy-winning American pop star will appear as a mentor on this year's season of The Voice. He will perform a medley of his greatest hits, alongside homegrown star Guy Sebastian, who will perform his new song, Get It Done. 'Australians have always been huge supporters of my music and have brought their passion and infectious energy to my live shows across the decades,' Marx said in a statement. 'It is a privilege to be performing at Aussie TV's biggest night of celebrations. I can't wait to deliver something special for those at home and in the room.' Joining the pair, and previously announced as a musical guest, is Aussie music icon Jimmy Barnes, who will also perform on the night. They join confirmed presenters, including Kitty Flanagan, Hamish Blake, Sophie Monk, Tom Gleeson, Ricki-Lee, Poh Ling Yeow and Ray Martin, and a host of other big names, who will be on hand to present the awards. The ceremony will once again be hosted by beloved comedian Sam Pang, who has helmed the show twice previously to widespread acclaim. Marx, who has been down under for several months filming The Voice, is a singer-songwriter best known for his musical ballads Right Here Waiting and Hazard — both songs reached number one in Australia. Marx has written fourteen number one hits across multiple genres – pop, rock, country, and R&B – and is one of only two artists (alongside Michael Jackson) to have scored a number one single in four different decades since his musical debut in 1987. The 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards will screen Sunday August 3 from 7pm on Seven and 7Plus.

Private jet attendant reveals what the super wealthy are really like at 45,000 feet

In 2015, Danielle Styron, then 32, was offered her dream job as a private jet flight attendant. It promised a six-figure salary, trips to luxury resorts and full benefits. It seemed too good to be true — and it was, reports NY Post. Over the course of two phone interviews, the pilot continually hinted at the 'alternative lifestyle' of the plane's owner, a religious man who split his time flying with his family half the month and with his girlfriends the other half. As the conversation went on, it became clear the role involved participating in orgies with the girlfriends on-board while the owner watched. 'We only fly them once a month, so it's not like you have to be a lesbian, you would just need to have fun with them,' the pilot assured her. Ms Styron writes about the seedy job interview — and the seven years she spent flying with the rich and famous — in her dishy new memoir 'The Mile High Club: Confessions of a Private Jet Flight Attendant', co-written with her brother, James Styron. 'Names have been changed to protect (us from) the malevolent,' the intro reads. 'Behaviours have been presented to humble them. You know who you are.' Ms Styron, now 41 and living in New York, didn't end up taking the job with the orgy-loving jet owner, but she went on to work for a number of difficult people. Some of her clients, she writes, were 'miserable, vampires of human joy.' One passenger berated her for not having the proper tequila stocked, even though it wasn't requested. Food-obsessed wives micromanaged everything that came out of the galley kitchen. An assistant threatened to punch her in the face over a not-hot-enough breakfast sandwich. Then there was the time a woman shoved Ms Styron into a bulkhead mid-turbulence because her beloved puppies got jostled. 'She treated the dogs better than any human on board,' Ms Styron writes. One of her lowest points was being asked to source champagne on the tropical island of St. Maarten, just after it had been devastated by a hurricane. The client demanded bubbles despite the natural disaster. 'I'm standing there thinking, 'There's no champagne. There was just a major hurricane. People are standing outside waiting for bread, and you're asking me to spend $US20,000 on bubbly,'' Styron told The Post. There was only one supermarket open, which Ms Styron begrudgingly patronised in search of the requested Champs. 'It felt dystopian,' she said. Then there was the two-timing bigwig who would fly with his pregnant wife one day and his mistress a few days later. 'As a woman, it was hurtful to be a part of that,' she said. 'Even though I had no choice. What was I going to do, blow my life up to be like, 'Yo, your man's cheating on you?' She probably already knew.' Sometimes, as the title of the book suggests, passengers got intimate in flight. She and her crew knew the drill: retreat to the front, let the guests go at it, and deal with the clean-up later. 'It's usually in the bathroom, galley, or right there on the sofa,' she writes. 'It's their house, right? Private jets are like flying living rooms.' Despite the uncomfortable situations and challenging passengers, the jobs also entailed plenty of good times and perks. She partied in Las Vegas with pilots and jetted off to Costa Rica, Aspen and St. Barts. One time in Los Angeles, the plane broke down on the tarmac, a typical mechanical delay. Ms Styron was tasked with keeping the charter guests fed and entertained while the pilots tried to fix the plane. The lead passenger was none other than actor and comedian Jamie Foxx. Unlike most high-profile clients, he took the delay in stride. He was 'the most delightful celebrity,' she said. 'He was cracking jokes and telling stories. He was pure light. [After three hours on the ground,] we were out of food, the mimosas were gone, people were losing patience, but not Jamie. He was still smiling. Still gracious. It restored my faith in humanity.' Misery, however, seemed to be more the norm. 'You think these people have it all,' she said. 'But I saw the opposite. They're really insecure. Their friends are all about one-upmanship. One man owned several planes, had a beautiful wife, everything in the world, and he was obsessing about his hair plugs. Like who cares?' Ms Styron ultimately retired from aviation and went back to doing what she'd done before, working as an esthetician. She now owns Fluff NYC, a brow and skincare studio on the Upper East Side, where she tends to people's faces — not their egos. 'It's less glamorous,' she said with a laugh, 'but way more peaceful.'
