Louisville’s Jack Harlow is going places fast. The 23-year-old Rapper has shot to stardom with Lil Nas X Collabo “Industry Baby” reaching #1 on the Billboard US Hot 100 Chart. His 2020 single “What’s Poppin” also reached #2 last year on the same chart. Above this, he’s selling-out arenas both sides of the border with his The Crème De La Crème Tour.
The Tour hit Drake‘s HISTORY last night, the venue just having launched last week. Drake even came out to show his support at the show last night, and following the gig, picked him up in his Maybach, bringing him and his entourage out in Yorkville for a late night dinner.
A few lucky fans got the Selfie with Harlow at the venue coming out in his SUV, out of hundreds who waited at the back for a chance to meet him.
We were able to get Harlow to look over for a quick Snap with us, which we’re grateful for, as he laid-low pretty much most of this Toronto visit. He’s come a far way since his last show here at the intimate Velvet Underground 2019.
Cool also meeting Supporting Act, THE HOMIES!
Harlow‘s next stop on his Tour is Cleveland tonight, wrapping in Indianapolis, with one more December show in L.A.

Umm. There are a lot of asses jiggling and boobs exposed in this brand new 7.5 minute clip for Rihanna and Drake’s WORK, shot right here in our backyard. I admit the Track is growing on us. I just wish I could decipher what Rihanna is singing about. Even with closed caption enabled, I still haven’t a clue.
See the NSFW Video below:
Work is directed by both X and Tim Erem.
The Single is taken from Rihanna‘s new Disc, ANTI, now in stores.

NBA All-Star Weekend has taken over Toronto for the first time ever. Kicking-off the festivities tonight at Ricoh Coliseum on CNE grounds was the much-buzzed Canada vs U.S. Mountain Dew 2016 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, headed by captains Drake and Kevin Hart respectively. Drake tonight was given the honours of holding the key to the City based on his outstanding contributions locally.
Team Canada alas would prevail under Drake‘s guidance with a score of 74-64 with Win Butler and Tracy McGrady leading the pack.
Spotted in the audience tonight were some huge names like Vin Diesel, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and more. The three were on the set of XXX: The Return of Xander Cage filming at the penthouse of one of the City’s most historic hotels. Wrapping just before 7, they head-on over quickly to Ricoh Coliseum, making it in time despite Fans waiting in the cold for them. It is said during halftime show, Diesel stopped to pose for Selfies with several Fans who clamoured for him, soaking-up all the adoration.
Olivia Wilde also was seen cheering Jason Sudeikis who is here promoting Jesse Owens Biopic RACE, alongside Co-Star Stephan James who played for Team Canada.
Rapper Snoop Dogg also is in-town too, leaving a trail of heartbreak this morning after no-showing at appearances on Breakfast Television and The Morning Show after a night of partying Thursday!
Meanwhile not far from the Celebrity Game, Gwen Stefani and Usher would headline an Afterparty at a specially-constructed for the occasion True North Lounge sponsored by Bell. Stefani quietly head to the venue around 9 with bodyguard picking her up from the underground of her Hotel and a trunk full of luggage.

After a huge tease and some false starts, Rihanna finally gets rolling with her eagerly-awaited eighth album ANTI. Billboard Magazine announced earlier this week the Album at long last drops this Friday and in advance of its release comes official first single, WORK.
The collaboration co-produced by Boi-1da and featuring Drake quickly rocketed to number one on the iTunes Charts across the world including U.S. and Canada. Despite sparse production, Rihanna‘s unmistakable reggae-pop is still front and center, a cut from the same cloth as some of Justin Bieber‘s more recent singles.

21-year-old Los Angeles-based R&B sensation Tinashe still might be a tad bit on the obscure to the Mainstream, but if the buzz surrounding her is any indication of what’s to come, don’t tell us we didn’t tell you so!
Just having released her debut Album Aquarius in 2014, Critics from TIME to Billboard all are hailing her Platinum-selling Single 2 On among the year’s best. A Duet Remix of Nick Jonas’ Jealous also has helped her gain some exposure of late.
Best described as a hybrid Alternative-R&B, Tinashe‘s sound is unlike anything we’ve heard, but to see her finally energetic performance on-stage before a packed house at Tattoo Rock Parlour was an absolute pleasure. To say she has a commanding presence would be an understatement. It is only a matter of time before she translates that to an arena-sized Audience. Fans waited patiently, although tested certainly, through an extended DJ Set before Tinashe finally arrived on-stage a belated 11:40 PM.
We had the pleasure of meeting Tinashe who was all smiles and hugs before her show. Tonight was the second time this year she’s been in the City, after performing alongside Drake at the OVO Festival this Summer.
Check-out 2 On below:

It was only a matter of time before Sir Mix-a-Lot got a revival! Nicki Minaj‘s new Video for Single Anaconda finally has been unreleased. The v. revealing Clip shows the Rapper/Singer back at it in a big way! I like that she’s taking female objectification and re-owning it. She even got her Buddy Drake out to enjoy a bit of a Chair Dance – not that it was a hard sell I’m sure… Definitely not safe for work – just saying…
Watch the Clip:
Universal Music Canada release THE PINKPRINT later this year.
