Music News with Drake and Rihanna

Drake and Michael B. Jordan confirmed yesterday that they’ve both become investors in the Brooklyn Aces, one of the teams in the new Major League Pickleball league. “Excited to have this ace up our sleeve,” the MLP tweeted following the announcement. The league began in 2021 and advertises itself as “the standard-bearer for the fastest-growing sport in the United States.”NBA stars like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love and Draymond Green all invested in pickleball teams last year, along with NFL greats Tom Brady and Drew Brees. Pickleball was first invented in 1965, but the sport’s popularity skyrocketed between 2021 and 2022 when the estimated number of players jumped to about 4.8 million nationwide.

ASAP Rocky lyrically teases a “collab with my baby mom,” Rihanna, in his brand new Pharrell-produced track “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n).” And he talked about how that collaboration might happen in a new interview. “I’m always down to collab with my partner, man,” he said. “She’s a phenomenal creative. Yeah, there’s a lot of things we’re going to collaborate on, from products for children, there’s a lot of things to look forward to.”The new single has also fueled speculation that he and Rihanna have gotten married, with the lyrics “My wife is erotic, I’m smokin’ exotic.” Rocky also addressed the wait for his long-teased new album, saying the delays are due to leakers. “These dummies got to stop leaking sh-t,” he said, explaining that he has to go back to “the drawing board” every time something gets out.Rocky also partnered with Beats for a video short about a studio session-interrupting diaper run.
