The 24 Hour Turn Up: Drake Runs Amuck In Miami [PHOTOS/VIDEO]







In the midst of a busy week, Drake took to a trip to Miami for a mixture of fun, rest, and relaxation. But can you blame him? The October’s Very Own rapper is diligently working on his third studio album Nothing Was The Same, and that can be a stressful process.

With that, Drizzy hit South Beach and left a trail of breadcrumbs detailing his vacation activity in the process. This included an impromptu performance at Miami’s new hotspot, STORY, last night, where he ran through a brief set including “Love Me, “Started From The Bottom,” and “No New Friends.”

A flick on Instagram showed the Toronto native looking very chummy with G.O.O.D. Music’s first lady Teyana Taylor during the course of the night. “F**k all ya’ll n***as…except my n***as…meet the exception,” reads the caption, but that didn’t stop the Internets from spreading rumors.

A camera was also on tab to capture some of Drake’s daytime activity, which mostly involved cooling it poolside with some compadres. In one photo, the YMCMB rapper looks to be gesturing some woman to call him. But that’s just our observation.

Let that boy Drake cook, though. He received enough slander from the Dada shorts set he donned during a video shoot a few days ago. On a more positive note, the Grammy winner announced the lineup for the fourth annual OVO Fest and received 12 nominations for the 2013 BET awards.

Drake Announces The 4th Annual OVO Fest







Drake season has officially returned. After setting the Internets on fire thanks to behind the scenes photos of a new video and a throwback outfit, Drake announced the 4th Annual OVO Fest last night. 

The weekend long festival goes down on August 4 and August 5 at the Molson Canadien Ampitheatre in Toronto. Saturday will be headlined by James Blake and Frank Ocean while Drake and “special guests” will hold down Sunday.

Last year’s participants in the 2012 OVO Fest included 2 Chainz and A$AP Rocky, while big time surprise guests in the past have included Jay-Z, Nas and Eminem. So fans can expect some A-list names to pop in again. Until then, we’re waiting on that “No New Friends” video, which will surely be entertaining.

Drake’s third proper album, Nothing Was The Same, is due out later this year. Tickets for the 4th Annual OVO Fest go on sale May 24 at 10 a.m. via Live Nation and start at $49.50.

Nicki Minaj Leaving American Idol After One Season







Nicki Minaj’s run as a judge on American Idol is about to be over. Reportedly, the YMCMB Barbie’s first season on the reality talent show will also be her last. 

Us Weekly reports:

Another seat at the American Idol judges’ table will soon be up for grabs. On the heels of Randy Jackson’s announcement that he’s leaving the show after 12 seasons — and amid rumors that producers are firing the remaining three panelists — Us Weekly hears that Nicki Minaj will not return to the competition come fall.

“It’s safe to say she isn’t coming back to Idol,” an insider tells Us, adding that the “Roman Holiday” rapper will be focusing on her next album, touring, and endorsements. “She’s okay with it. She had a great time but was only going to do one season anyway.”

Minaj joined Idol as a judge in 2012. Even before the new season commenced, there was talk of a rivalry with fellow judge American Idol. The two have been sparring privately and publicly from the start.

Although Randy Jackson already announced his departure, the status of Carey and Keith Urban’s return is still unknown.

Drake Shoots “No New Friends” Video, Inspires Slander [PHOTOS]







Does the Drake slander ever get old? This time the Toronto rapper has drawn the wrath of the Internets thanks to behind the scenes photos of the video shoot for “No New Friends.” 

In one particular pic, Drizzy is seen sporting a suspect outfit that involves black Timberland boots, black and white socks and what looks like an OG black and yellow Dada shorts set. Yes, a Dada shorts set, top and bottom. So far we have seen the “5AM In Dallas” rapper get compared to a Fu-Schnicken and an extra from Above The Rim. There is no chill on Twitter.

We’ll give the YMCMB rapper the benefit of the doubt and say that this throwback gear must have to do with the visual’s storyline. We also see a couple of video vixens along with Rick Ross and DJ Khaled.

As for the song, Khaled gets top billing and it features Lil Wayne and Rozay, but it’s clearly a Drake tune. No word on when the video is scheduled to drop. But peep the behind the scenes pics and some more of Drake’s recent activities, like hitting the gym, in the gallery.
