Drake Gives Fiery Speech To Concert Crowd: 'I Didn't Get Here By Being A Piece Of Sh-t'
Source: Simone Joyner / Getty Ever since the Drake beef with Kendrick Lamar boiled over, other artists have jumped in. From Rick Ross and A$AP Rocky to The Weeknd, they steadily piled on, leading many to question how Drake wronged them as rumors of shady business dealings and stealing girlfriends ran amok. And if you ask Drake? Nothing. That's what he told the crowd last night at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome for his co-headlining $ome $pecial $hows 4 U Tour with PARTYNEXTDOOR . 'I hope you get everything you want. Never give up. Keep going, not even on some preachy sh-t. This might be the moment that you need to hear it,' Drake told the crowd. 'And the biggest thing I would say to you is I didn't get here by being a piece of sh-t. I didn't get here by being a snake. I didn't get here by being a d-ckhead. I got here by being good to people, being nice to people, and my karma is straight.' He goes on to say that the way he's treated people is why he's been able to rise again after the beef. 'That's why I'm still on stage in 2025,' he added. In what's been the most challenging year of his career, he shouts out his fans for always holding him down and promises to deliver on his next album, Iceman . 'And I appreciate you always supporting me, always being there for me. I love y'all. I don't have no jokes tonight. I usually tell a joke or some sh-t, but tonight it's no jokes. It's just love. I appreciate you so much. I'm working on this album for y'all, Iceman . We got a lot to talk about.' While jokes were off limits for the night, he did have a lighthearted moment with the crowd when he admitted Amsterdam will always be special to him because that's where his son Adonis was conceived. 'I was saying backstage, like, 'This is the place. A very special place in my heart, because this is where my son was conceived,'' Drake said. 'It's a big show for me, you know. I hold Amsterdam very dear to my heart. There would be no Adonis if there wasn't an Amsterdam, so shout out to y'all.' Drake's 7-year-old with French artist Sophie Brussaux was of course the bombshell that Pusha T revealed to the world in their 2018 beef that ended with 'The Story Of Adidon.'

Drake at Manchester's Co-op Live: timings, set list, last-minute tickets and everything you need to know
Before his shows at London's Wireless Festival earlier this month, it had been more than six years and a worldwide pandemic since Drake's UK fans last saw him live. But now the wait is finally over. The rapper has made a mega return to our shores with his $ome $pecial $hows 4 UK Tour, and after three nights in Birmingham, he's now bringing the show to Manchester. The tour is inspired by the collaborative album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, which Drake created alongside fellow Canadian musician PARTYNEXTDOOR, who is coming along for the ride and will feature each night of the tour. Drake is set to play three huge nights at the Co-op Live in Manchester this weekend, and, based on his Birmingham shows, you can expect to hear hit after hit. Here's everything you need to know about upcoming Drake's Manchester gigs. When is Drake playing Co-op live? The 'Hotline Bling' rapper is playing three dates at the Co-op Live on July 25, 26, and 28. What time do doors open?

VIP ticket holders who are entitled to premium entry will be allowed in at 6.30pm through the Premium doors. What time will Drake come on stage? The support will likely begin at 8.15pm, with Drake finally taking to the stage at around 9.15pm. That's based on timings from his Birmingham dates, so they could be slightly different. It's worth arriving in plenty of time to make sure you don't accidentally miss your favourite tune. Who is supporting Drake in Manchester? As we mentioned earlier, this whole tour is in celebration of a collaborative project between Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR, who will be his support for all six dates. PND is a Canadian rapper who was the first person ever to be signed to Drake's record label, so he comes very highly commended by the big man himself. What's the seating plan? Here's the seating plan for Drake's shows at the Co-Op live, including an unconventional stage setup: Setlist The setlist could change, but here is the full setlist from the Birmingham shows, including four songs which feature PARTYNEXTDOOR: Marvin's Room Teenage Fever Passionfruit Jungle What Did I Miss?

If you were too slow to get tickets when they went on sale last month, you're in luck: there's still quite a few available for all three nights. The best availability is on Monday July 28, so if there's somewhere specific you'd like to sit that night is your best bet. There are standing and seating tickets to choose from each day on Ticketmaster here and Stubhub here. As always, make sure everything is legit when buying from resale sites. What's Co-op Live's bag policy? Everyone is welcome to bring one back each to the Co-op live, but that's it. Your bag also has to be small – A4 size or smaller – and backpacks, travel cases, laptop bags and large tote bags are will not be allowed inside. Banned items As you probably expect, you can't just bring anything into the arena. Obviously, explosives and sharp objects are banned, but there are a few things you might not have thought of, like large umbrellas, which you aren't allowed. Here's a non-exhaustive list of banned items from the Co-Op live: Horns Whistles Drums Flagpoles Large umbrellas Laptops iPads GoPros The venue also states it will confiscate 'any other item which in our reasonable opinion, may cause danger or disruption to any event or to other visitors (regardless of whether such item is illegal or is carried for specific purposes)'.

PARTYNEXTDOOR Gifts Drake a Bespoke Maison Raksha Chain
Summary In a dazzling display of camaraderie and artistic connection,PARTYNEXTDOORhas giftedDrakea stunning, custom-designed chain crafted by renowned jewelerMaison Raksha. This opulent piece, named '0M0,' is far more than mere adornment; it represents a convergence of Toronto's most influential creative minds and a subtle nod to the city's interwoven musical landscape. Maison Raksha, the Toronto-born jeweler, was enlisted by PARTYNEXTDOOR for this intricate creation. The front of the pendant proudly displays '0M0,' meticulously set with 25 carats of custom-cut baguette and carré-cut diamonds, accented by elegant green tourmaline ovals. At the core of the central 'M' lies a 'V,' a deliberate design choice signifying the powerful 'union of forces' between the OVO (October's Very Own, Drake's label) and 0M0 (PARTYNEXTDOOR's brand, stylized as the eyes emoji). The pendant hangs from a substantial 100-carat, 360-degree link chain, making it a truly monumental piece. The reverse side of the pendant reveals an equally thoughtful detail: a 22-karat gold owl rests confidently within a diamond 'Tree Hollow,' creating a sharp, striking contrast against the cool 14k white gold. This owl motif, a long-standing emblem of Drake's OVO, deepens the symbolic connection between the artists. The inspiration behind this unique piece runs even deeper, reportedly drawn from the concept of AMO (Autonomous Money Organization), an idea notably championed by Oliver El-Khatib, a key figure in Drake's OVO empire. This layered inspiration infuses the piece with a philosophical underpinning, linking it to the innovative and independent spirit that defines their collective work.

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.
