Toronto MC slipped the date in a post linking to new track ‘Marvin’s Room.’ By Rob Markman Drake Photo: Johnny Nunez/ WireImage Drake can have just about any woman he wants, but on his new song “Marvin’s Room,” the Young Money rep has his eye on another man’s squeeze. It’s unclear whether the track, released on Thursday (June 9), will appear on Drake’s upcoming Take Care, but in the post accompanying the song on his October’s Very Own blog , Drizzy writes, “Another piece of the story. Single coming in July. Take Care coming Oct. 24th.” The “another piece of the story” in Drake’s message likely refers to a May 20 post in which he dropped “Dreams Money Can Buy.” The Toronto MC wrote of “Dreams,” “Not my single. Just a piece of my story.” But for fans eagerly awaiting his sophomore album, the announcement that it will drop on the 24th of October required no deciphering. “Marvin’s Room” opens with a phone conversation between a young lady and an unheard party. The young lady explains that she went out to a couple of clubs, came home and then “went to bed.” The story begins to unfold with Drake’s opening lyrics: “Cups of the ros
Young Money duo steal the mic from Sway backstage at I Am Still Music Tour. By Alvin Blanco, with reporting by Sway Calloway, Drake and Nicki Minaj Nicki Minaj, Sway and Drake Photo: MTV News Even after their short-lived Twitter marriage , Nicki Minaj and Drake remain great friends. Drizzy was a surprise guest at the New Orleans stop of the Lil Wayne-headlined I Am Still Music Tour , and MTV News caught up with Young Money’s Bonnie & Clyde backstage. Rather than tend to our questions, Drizzy and Nicki decided to interview each other. Drake started off slow with his questioning, asking Nicki about her “peak moment” onstage. “You want to know what, Drizzy? I really love busting out from underneath the floor doing ‘Roman’s Revenge,’ ” Nicki told MTV News — er, Drake. “When I say, ‘I’ll kick that ho, punt!’ When I say, ‘Bitch, if you ain’t sh—in’ then get off the pot,’ we really connect.” The “Best I Ever Had” rapper did his journalistic due diligence with his follow-up question, asking Nicki when we could expect new music, while adding that he thought it would be “really exciting.” “Well, you know, Drizzy, I have been keeping everything sort of stored inside of me,” Nicki said. “So I’m just in complete tour mode. Yeah, I’ve been getting a lot of requests to do some features, but if I can’t give myself wholeheartedly, I always pass. I definitely never want to be just doing too many features that they start getting watered-down and I’m not giving my whole, true self.” Nicki said she would focus on recording new material after she’s finished with Britney Spears’ upcoming Femme Fatale tour . One exception the “Moment 4 Life” MC will make to her limited recording is if any of her YMCMB crew come calling. Drake then asked Nicki if she would be on his forthcoming sophomore album, Take Care, to which she playfully said she would pencil him in. It was then Nicki’s turn as interviewer, and her first question for Drake was what it was like to be back with his Young Money family after touring the U.K. earlier this year. “I truly enjoy these moments,” Drake answered. “Especially being in New Orleans. Actually, New Orleans was the first place that I ever really realized that my music was getting out there. I remember walking outside the W [hotel], and there was a guy out there selling mixtapes and he had So Far Gone. I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t even mad. You usually think you’ll be mad when there’s a bootlegger, but I was super excited.” Nicki then asked Drake about the beard-and-curly-hair look he’s been rocking lately, and he revealed that it was for a film role. In January, it was reported that the former “Degrassi: The Next Generation” star was joining the cast of “Arbitrage,” which is set to star Susan Sarandon and Al Pacino. However, Drake relayed that he has “decided to work on my album instead of doing that particular film.” Seems like Take Care may be arriving sooner than later.

‘It was people like Drake and people like y’all that made me feel like I wasn’t even there,’ Lil Wayne tells D.C. crowd of being in prison. By D.L. Chandler Drake Photo: Bryan Bedder/ Getty Images At the start of Lil Wayne’s I Am Still Music Tour alongside Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross and Travis Barker, Drake was a curious omission from the star-studded lineup. However, last night in President Obama’s backyard, the Canadian heartthrob joined his boss onstage to quell any talk that he is no longer part of the Young Money machine.

He’s a known sex addict and mutilator of friendly fuzzy animals so we’re not surprised Russell Brand has a ridiculous yet romantic rant about his wife Katy Perry. It was love after abuse on the set of the 2009 MTV Awards, when Katy Perry and Russell Brand met after she launched a bottle at Brand’s head. And the abuse paid off, Brand says of the hot Hollyweird relationship: “I thought that was really rude, and we entered into some badinage and she held her own.” “I nearly asked her to marry me on our first date. It was like a hit of acid, a wave of confusion, emerging from under the water, a moment of Oh bloody hell, different perception for a moment, extraordinary…And then I thought, I’ll give it space and see what happens.” We’ve seen some pretty psychedelic looks from Perry so we can see where the acid might come in handy. Russell goes on to explain how much Katy means to him… “It’s the most normal relationship I’ve ever had with anybody. She’s very spirited, bighearted, innocent, but very, very smart. Someone told me that enlightenment is contingent upon being able to hold opposing views simultaneously. I’m actually attracted to that magnetism and sort of repulsion. She’s endlessly fascinating…I was at a point in my life where I was ready to behave. I look at it the way I look at most things: One day at a time. I will say it’s very, very rewarding and I love her.” Russell Brand is the epitome of a hot mess in love! Source
