Drake relists luxe Beverly Hills mansion with $13m discount
Drake is trying to offload his Beverly Hills pad for a third time — two years after he first put the abode on the market with an asking price of $US88 million ($A134 million). The Grammy-winning rapper has now slashed $US9 million ($A13 million) from his original ask, offering the property up for $US79 million ($A121 million) in a desperate attempt to draw in a buyer, Realtor reports. Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, put the Tuscan-style estate back on the market on June 24 — three years after snapping it up for $US75 million ($A114 million) and months after he attempted to lease out the home for $US250,000 ($A382,000) a month. Though the rapper has seemingly decided that the home is not the 'Best I Ever Had,' the property — which was previously owned by British pop star Robbie Williams — will undoubtedly catch the eye of many with its impressive array of amenities, which include 10 bedrooms, and 13.5 bathrooms. Other highlights include a resort-style pool, a tennis court, a cooking patio, and sweeping views of the California skyline. The residence boasts a chic living area with space for multiple couches, a cozy fireplace, French doors, and large windows. Next to the living area is a lounge with a fireplace, wood-framed windows, and a built-in wooden shelf. 'This property defies description with over 25,000 square feet, seven bedrooms, 13 full baths and nine half baths, nine fireplaces, an elevator, garage and motor court to accommodate 15 cars, staff quarters offering three bedrooms and separate full kitchen,' the listing reads. Modern touches are present throughout the home, including in the library, dining room, and chef's kitchen. The latter is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and two large marble islands. There is also a private gym, wine cellar, screening room, and game room on the grounds. 'Offering a perfect setting for an outdoor soiree, the grounds inspire the kind of serenity found in the world's most secluded villas w/ immaculate lawns & gardens, orchards, fountains, a mosaic-tiled swimming pool, outdoor pavilion, pool house with a kitchen & pizza oven, tennis court & pavilion, walking paths and a view to envy,' the listing adds. The listing comes just months after Drake's ongoing feud with rapper Kendrick Lamar reached its height. The battle began long ago when they competed for the title of world's best rapper, and soon devolved into a slew of diss tracks and legal woes. The artists were pals until 2013, when Lamar rapped about 'murdering' J. Cole, Meek Mill, Drake, Big K.R.I.T., Wale, Pusha T, ASAP Rocky, Tyler, the Creator, Mac Miller, Big Sean, and Jay Electronica's music. Drake responded to the diss track while speaking to Billboard. 'I didn't really have anything to say about it. It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me. That's all it was,' Drake told the outlet. 'I know good and well that [Lamar]'s not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic.' Their public spat reached its peak in 2023 when Drake teamed up with J. Cole, prompting Lamar to release another hit slamming them. Drake then released two back-to-back diss tracks slamming Lamar, even using AI to mimic the voices of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. Shakur's estate then threatened to sue Drake, prompting him to remove the voices from the hit titled 'Taylor Made Freestyle.' Lamar hit back with a six-minute diss track teasing Drake's style and morals. Less than 24 hours later, he released another diss track, claiming that there was a mole inside Drake's team telling him news. The two continued to fire off at each other, with Lamar eventually accusing Drake of being a 'deadbeat' father. In 2024, Lamar released his hit 'Not Like Us,' rapping in the song, 'Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young/ You better not ever go to cell block one/ To any b---- that talk to him and they in love/ Just make sure you hide your lil' sister from him.' Months later, Drake filed a motion against Universal Music Group, accusing the company of using bots to inflate Lamar's streams. The motion was later proved false. Drake then accused UMG of defamation, claiming that it could have declined to release the song in a motion filed in January 2025. Although Drake hit back, the damage was done as Lamar continued to figuratively dance on his grave as he performed 'Not Like Us' at the Super Bowl. Attorneys for UMG then hit back at Drake, noting, 'Plaintiff, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated. Instead of accepting the loss like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be, he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds. 'Drake has been pleased to use UMG's platform to promote tracks levelling similarly incendiary attacks at Lamar. But now, after losing the rap battle, Drake claims that 'Not Like Us' is defamatory. It is not.'

How author Torrey Peters made trans history with Detransition Baby
Four years ago, Torrey Peters made history with her debut novel Detransition, Baby when she became one of the first trans fiction writers to be published by a major US publishing house. The novel, a sharp comedy of manners set in the 2010s in Brooklyn's trans community, was a critical and commercial success — a bestseller and winner of the Pen/Hemingway Award, Amazon buying the TV rights, and a spot on The New York Times' best books of the 21st century list. Perhaps more importantly, it opened the gates. "Even though the political times were better [for trans people] when Detransition, Baby came out, I was one of one or two trans women with one of the big four presses that year," Peters tells ABC Arts. "This spring, I can think of 15 or 20 myself, and I'm sure there's more that I don't know." Nobody, including Peters, thought her follow-up would be historical fiction about 19th-century lumberjacks. Or that the characters would speak using near-indecipherable slang words like crackleberry (eggs) and Scandahoovian Dynamite (tobacco) — all taken from a real dictionary collated by the children of loggers. While the titular story of Stag Dance, Peters' follow-up collection, is a world away from 2010s Brooklyn, it was that distance that allowed her to approach questions of identity and gender anew. "Following Detransition, Baby, I felt like there was pressure on me to do something witty and sparkling," says Peters, who was in Australia earlier this year for the Sydney and Melbourne writers' festivals. "And I was like, 'Well, there probably is not a lot of expectations on me to do the logger thing, so I'm free to do it how I want.'" The story was inspired by her own retreat to a long-abandoned log cabin in Vermont, a fixer-upper bought as an escape after the success of Detransition, Baby transformed her into, arguably, the best-known trans writer — overnight to most, though Peters was established within the US's trans literary world via two self-published novellas, which reappear in Stag Dance. "Really, it's a shack — 12 feet by 12 feet, no running water, no electricity, an outhouse," Peters says. "It's very cold, muddy and dirty up there. And I loved it, in some ways. "The area was previously logged, and it's been about 100 years so the forest has grown up — but I thought about people who were living in that forest without even the mild amenities that I had." During her reading, Peters learned about stag dances, an 18th and 19th-century US tradition where outposts of isolated men would throw parties with a select few acting as women for the night, signified via a triangle cloth placed over their crotch. "It seemed like such a funny, potent symbol," she says. "'One of us is a woman, so we just cut some brown fabric and put it over our crotch' — the most on-the-nose, over-simplified thing that you can imagine. Stag Dance's protagonist is Babe Bunyon — a strong, burly beast of a man who surprises everyone, including himself, by volunteering for an "ersatz twat". It's never quite explained why Babe wants to be a "skooch" (sexy lady) for the night. Instead, it's an "unwanted yearning" that arrives and never leaves, though Babe regularly describes his "uncommon size and strength" as a source of agony, lamenting his giant feet and strongman muscles. "He probably does not see himself very clearly," Peters says. "The ways he insults himself are quite extreme — he says things like, 'You could set a beer glass on my brow shelf,' which is a particular site of anxiety for trans women. So, suddenly, I started lending him my insecurities, things that I actually would never say to anybody." We, in the 21st century, might read Babe as a trans woman experiencing dysmorphia, but he lacks that language — a gift to Peters, who says that these terms, while useful to explain trans experience, are somewhat emotionally "ossified" from overuse. "With the brow, you're like, 'That's preposterous, you're dysmorphic,'" Peters says. "But he would never use a word like that. "And trying to have a logger say it without any of the modern language, I rediscovered things that I found pretty magical about the trans experience." Where writing academically about an experience can "deaden" it, she says, resisting that language frees up space to focus on the feelings associated with that experience, instead. At the same time, Peters notes that only a few figures across Stag Dance's four genre-spanning stories — including the apocalyptic Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones, teen love story The Chaser, and sexual thriller The Masker — identify as trans. Babe and most of the other characters fall into what Peters calls the "weird gender feelings" category. More broadly, they all experience some disconnect between how they appear to the world and how they feel inside, something Peters says almost everyone can relate to. "It's highlighted in trans people, but that's more a result of our society," she says. "It exists in cis people [too]." Stag Dance arrives in a much different political climate in the US from Detransition, Baby. Some of the second Trump administration's first executive orders removed hard-earned trans support and rights, including the ability to have a different gender from that assigned at birth on a passport, as well as funds supporting trans youth or any program that "promotes gender ideology". When asked if she worries that the political climate will halt trans literature's mainstream success, Peters is adamant it won't. She points towards those 20 books she mentioned earlier, including works by Rose Dommu, Tommy Dorfman, Harron Walker and Emily St. James. "Although this era is bad, we have more of a voice than we've ever had before," she says. "And I think our stories are better, our art is better, our worldview is more joyous and compelling. I think we have a better time. I think we throw better parties and, if people get a chance to see that, I think they're gonna like what we're doing." Torrey Peters' Stag Dance is out now.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs acquitted of sex trafficking, convicted on lesser charges
Sean Combs was found guilty on two counts of transporting women for prostitution but cleared of trafficking charges. The jury rejected the prosecution's claim that "violence and fear" compelled victims to perform sex acts. Combs faces up to 10 years for each of the two counts, though sentencing guidelines suggest a shorter prison term. This article contains references to abuse. Sean "Diddy" Combs has been cleared in a federal New York court of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put him behind bars for life, but was found guilty of lesser prostitution-related offences. The verdict is a partial win for Combs, a former rapper and music mogul, and a blow to prosecutors who said Combs used "violence and fear" to abuse women. The 12-member jury unanimously convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking two of his former romantic partners: the rhythm and blues singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, and a woman known in court by the pseudonym Jane. After the judge dismissed the jury and lawyers for both sides, Combs knelt before his chair and appeared to pray. Combs then rose and faced the courtroom gallery. "'I'm gonna be home soon," he said, smiling and clasping his hands. "I love you. Thank you, I love you." Combs' family and supporters erupted into applause and cheers. Sean Combs fell to his knees and knelt against a chair after learning of the verdict. Source: AAP / AP / Elizabeth Williams Combs, 55, who had pleaded not guilty to all five counts, faces a maximum 10-year prison sentence on each of the two prostitution counts. Prosecutors acknowledged in a court filing that federal sentencing guidelines appeared to recommend a maximum sentence of around half that time. Combs' lawyers argued that two years would be the outer limit. US district judge Arun Subramanian is expected to hold a hearing later on Thursday on Combs' request to be released on bail pending sentencing. The trial focused on prosecutors' allegations that Combs, for two decades, used his business empire to force Ventura and Jane to take part in drug-fueled, days-long sexual performances sometimes known as "freak-offs" with male sex workers in hotel rooms while Combs watched. Prosecutors unsuccessfully argued that Combs' conduct toward both women amounted to sex trafficking because he compelled Ventura and Jane to take part in the performances using physical violence and threats to withhold financial support or leak sexually explicit images of them. Acquittal on three charges The jury's acquittal on the most serious charges signals that the prosecution failed to draw a direct line between Combs' abuse of Ventura and Jane and their participation in the sexual performances. The defence acknowledged that Combs engaged in domestic violence, but argued that Ventura and Jane consensually took part in the sexual performances because they wanted to please Combs. Sean Combs still faces dozens of civil lawsuits accusing him of abuse. Source: Getty / Gareth Cattermole Defence lawyers accused prosecutors of trying to criminalise Combs' private sex life. The Bad Boy Records founder could have faced life in prison if he were convicted on sex trafficking or racketeering conspiracy. Combs, once famed for hosting lavish parties for the cultural elite in luxurious locales like the Hamptons and Saint-Tropez, has been held in federal lockup in Brooklyn since his September 2024 arrest. In a statement after the verdict, the Manhattan US attorney's office, which brought the case, said sex crimes were "all too present" across society. With the criminal trial over, Combs still faces dozens of civil lawsuits accusing him of abuse. Ventura sued him in November 2023 for sex trafficking, and they settled a day later for $20 million. Combs, once feted for turning artists like Notorious BIG and Usher into stars, has denied all wrongdoing. After the verdict, Ventura's lawyer said in a statement that she had "paved the way" for Combs' conviction.
