Drake Shows Off Renovations to Air Drake Private Jet: ‘Ca$tle in the Sky'
Drizzy upgraded the Boeing 767 with renovations across the board as he redesigned the interior to give the plane a 'more luxurious, warmer' aesthetic that now feels more like a plush lounge compared to the 'old and pink' vibe.

'When I first got my plane, I was in this hangar. It's, like, probably one of the craziest moments of my life,' he said. 'I actually didn't believe it until [Cargojet CEO Ajay Virmani] told me, 'I'm gonna get you the biggest jet in the game out of anybody, like, it'd be like you and the president, that's it.''
Drake began the tour showing off his master bedroom. 'The most important room right off the rip,' he quipped. Drizzy headed to the main lounge filled with custom designer pillows and a Stake gaming table for anyone who gets the casino itch while riding through the clouds.
There are three additional guest bedrooms for those looking to catch up on some sleep and a movie theater to relax and get lost in some blockbusters while passing time in the air.
'THE NEW AIR DRAKE CA$TLE IN THE SKY,' Drizzy captioned the post as Ludacris and PARTYNEXTDOOR showed him love. Comedian Lil Duval even joked: 'He could fit my poass plane in his plane!'
Drake reportedly received Air Drake as a gift from Cargojet in 2019, featuring a paint job from the late designer Virgil Abloh.
'We have had a lengthy relationship with Drake and this partnership has grown organically between both parties. Cargojet and Drake are both great Canadian successes. We are thrilled to be partnering together,' Virmani said in 2019.
Drake teased a redesign of his Air Drake last year as part of his 100 Gigs content drop. On the music side, Drizzy seemingly kicked off the Iceman rollout of his upcoming album with the 'What Did I Miss' single, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The album, which Giveon described as 'expansive, classy, lush, and luxe,' is a reflection of his growth as both an artist and a man.

'It's one of those classic words—timeless and full of meaning,' he explained.

He singled out a poignant line from Strangers , the album's fourth track, 'How we go from 'I love you' to 'How you been?'' The artist candidly revealed how the song draws from his own experiences, resonating with listeners who have navigated the complexities of love and loss. Adding a humorous touch, Giveon also mentioned lyrics from another track, where he recalls attempting to reconnect with someone who had blocked him by texting their mom. His willingness to channel personal vulnerabilities into music is a hallmark of his work, underscoring the album's raw honesty. 'Even if you don't like my music, know it's all true,' he said. Beyond music, Giveon shared personal loves, including his favorite dish, chicken tikka masala, and his admiration for New York's vibrant jazz scene. However, he remains an L.A. boy at heart, cherishing its perfect weather and laid-back vibe. Giveon's Beloved is more than an album—it's a deeply personal letter to fans, showcasing his evolution as an artist while staying true to his authentic self. Fans can expect nothing less than soul-stirring honesty in every note. LIKE US ON FACEBOOK . FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM & TWITTER . SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE . STAY INFORMED!

Where to Dine with Babies, and Other Reader Questions
Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite thing to do. Let's answer some reader questions, my friends! I'll be doing these on a monthly basis, giving my new co-writer, Luke, a much-needed break from scouring the city for dollar slices, tofu hot dogs and brain tacos. As for the rest of you, please keep the reader questions coming! I want your restaurant requests, the more specific the better, and I'll take them in a few forms: via email at wheretoeat@ as a submission in this form, and on my Instagram, where I'll post story prompts for you. This week, I'll dive into questions from readers seeking an actually good German restaurant, a taste of Brooklyn 2000s nostalgia, and a restaurant where parents can pridefully roll in with strollers. Are there any good German restaurants left in New York City? Most are mediocre at best and expensive for what they serve. — Mason There sure are, and Zum Stamtisch, a beloved institution since 1972, is one of them. The room alone — carpeted, paneled with dark wood and decorated with antique steins and taxidermy — felt to me as if it were airlifted straight from Heidelberg to Glendale, Queens. In keeping with tradition, you should get a steering wheel-size pretzel, served warm with two types of mustard and biting horseradish sauce, and a wurstplatte with housemade smoked wursts and kraut (a steal, by the way, at $20). My favorite bite, I was surprised to find, is an American invention: the bratburger. It's a delightful little sandwich served on a toasted English muffin with a taut, springy bratwurst patty and two thick slices of ham under a blanket of melted Swiss cheese. 69-46 Myrtle Avenue (70th Street), Glendale Want all of The Times?
