Drake Shows J. Cole Support at a Shooting Stars Game

Aubrey Drake Graham, also known as Champagne Papi, or simply Drizzy, was seen on the night of June 4, 2022, at a Scarborough Shooting Stars vs  Hamilton Badgers Game, seating courtside cheering as loudly as he usually does at a Toronto Raptors game.

Rocking a Scarborough Shooting Stars jersey with Cole’s name and number 15 on the back, but it ultimately didn’t prove to be a good luck charm for the squad.

Hamilton beat Scarborough 89-64 and Cole didn’t register a point in his six minutes of action picking up a foul instead, Drake has notoriously been known to ”cursing” sports teams and athletes to a ”losing streak” once he starts associating with them, in the past.

Drake and Jermaine Cole’s bromance has become in the last decade, the stuff of hip hop legend, from Drake buying every copy of J.Cole’s album in a record store, to various features and opening for each other in various concerts and festivals.

J. Cole’s hoop dreams have taken him from Fayetteville, North Carolina to Africa and now, Canada; the Canadian which was made possible through Cole’s relationship with Drizzy. Good luck to the Shooting stars and Jermaine in their subsequent games.

Cassper Nyovest Teases Return of Fill Up The Dome

In 2015, South African rapper, label executive, and mogul Cassper Nyovest did what was unprecedented by any South African artist. The ‘Doc Shebeleza’ hitmaker became the first local act to sell out the CocaCola Dome in Johannesburg with his #FilluptheDome concert.

Tsibip recently took to his Twitter handle to share his plans for a second edition of the 2015 concert in December 2022 in the same venue.

#FillUp concert series has been so successful in attracting crowds to various venues across the country, such as four massive stadiums; Orlando and FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, Royal Bafokeng in Rustenburg, and the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, which earned him the nickname ‘Abuthi Fill Up.’

The concert was all local, with no international supporting acts, just Cassper, and friends, this was an amazing feat for a South African music act, especially for a hip hop artist when hip hop was far from the most consumed genre in the country.

Selling out the 20,000-capacity venue helped Cassper’s sophomore album, ‘Refiloe’ go gold on its first day of release, as tickets for the event came with the album CD as a souvenir package.

This move got Nyovest praise from some of his peers and not so much from some others, including bitter rival ‘AKA’ who threw jabs at Cassper on his song ‘The World is Mine,’ rapping ”Went Gold but you n***as did it funny style.”
