Nicki Minaj won’t date Drake

Nicki Minaj wouldn’t get with Drake even if she was single.

The 29-year-old rapper recently called time on his relationship with on/off girlfriend Rihanna, and while he is close with the ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker – who is in a relationship with rapper Meek Mill – it is said she wouldn’t be keen to embark on anything serious with him in the future.

A source told HollywoodLife.com: "Drake is cool as the other side of the pillow, but Nicki would be damn fool to get with him on a romantic tip.

"She’s seen Drake tear through women like Hurricane Matthew and she’s not about to get twisted up in his shenanigans.

"She’s seen the aftermath of his destruction and she doesn’t want all the heartbreak and tears.

"She’s not one of those girls that he can just run game on and leave when he gets ready!"

The news of the beauty’s disinterest in the ‘Hotline Bling’ musician comes after it was recently revealed he is keen on her.

Another source claimed: "Drake’s going to date around the block for a cool minute until the woman he truly wants is single — and that special lady is Nicki.

"She’s the epitome of everything he wants in a woman and to be honest, the dude is infatuated with her."

Sources also claim Drake’s reported crush on Nicki drove a wedge between him and the ‘Work’ hitmaker, as he kept "going on and on" about her.

A source said: "Several weeks ago [Drake and Rihanna] had an argument about Nicki because Drake kept rapping the lyrics to a few of he and Nicki’s collabs and going on and on about how he and Nicki are magical when they’re on a track together.

"Ri felt offended and thought Drake was being high key disrespectful when they themselves have worked together. Words were said, Drake apologised but Ri still feels some type of way and is jealous of his love for Nicki."

Mill has appeared to hit out at Drake, whose nickname is Drizzy, following the speculation.

According to Complex, during a recent Funk Flex Freestyle rap event, Mill rapped: "Posted up with Nicki, that’s when it get tricky.

"N*****s in they feelings, that’s when it get Drizzy."

Rihanna and Drake split

Drake and Rihanna have reportedly split.

The ‘Hotline Bling’ singer and the ‘Work’ hitmaker only went public with their romance in the summer following months of speculation, but they have decided not to be "exclusive" any more, though friends wouldn’t be surprised if that changes again in the future.

A source told E! News: "Rihanna and Drake are seeing other people at the moment. They are not exclusive anymore. They still love each other, but their schedules have gotten in the way.

"Anything can change between them though, for better or worse. They are still in each other’s lives."

However, Drake, 29, has seemingly already moved on and has begun dating model India Love.

A source said: "Drake and India Love have been hooking up for at least a few weeks."

However, insiders admit there might be more to the new romance than meets the eye as India’s ex-boyfriend, Cliff Dixon, was rumoured to have cheated on her with Rihanna.

The source said: "Drake could be hooking up with India Love now to p**s off Rihanna, which has clearly worked."

If they have ended their relationship, Drake and Rihanna will still have a permanent reminder of their romance as they recently had matching shark tattoos.

The etchings were inspired by a date they went on to a Toronto aquarium, where the ‘One Dance’ singer bought his girlfriend a toy shark as a memento.

The ‘We Found Love’ singer’s usual tattoo artist Keith ‘Bang Bang’ McCurdy etched the couple with their new inkings, and shared a picture of Rihanna’s artwork on Instagram.

He wrote: "Camo shark for my dear friend @badgalriri. Also… I just found out you can zoom on IG- enjoy :).(sic)"

At the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Madison Square Garden in New York in August, Drake admitted he had been "in love" with Rihanna for years.

Presenting the ‘S&M’ hitmaker with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, he said of the brunette beauty: "She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old. She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I’ve looked up to her, even though she’s younger than me. She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry, ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016, Rihanna."

Drake buys neighbour’s house for $3 million

Drake has bought his neighbour’s house for almost $3 million.

The 29-year-old rapper faced complaints from his neighbour over how loudly he played his music, but instead of offering to turn it down, the ‘One Dance’ hitmaker has instead purchased the Hidden Hills home for $2.85 million.

With four bedrooms and five bathrooms, the new pad is smaller than the ‘Hotline Bling’ musician’s main home – which he bought in 2012 for $7.7 million – which boasts a whopping seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The house next door, however, is decked out with room for horses, should Drake decide to take up a new hobby.

And he’s not the first celebrity to have bought the house next door to his own, as Kylie Jenner reportedly did the same thing back in August. She paid $4.5 million on a second home – also in the Hidden Hills neighbourhood – next door to the $6 million one she bought in May.

What’s weirder, is that Drake actually predicted this would happen when he featured on fellow rapper Future’s 2015 track ‘Where Ya At?’ and sang the lyric "I’ll buy the neighbour’s house if they complain about the noise". He’s true to his word, as he’s done exactly that.

It’s unclear how Drake will use his new pad, but he could well use it to house his on/off girlfriend Rihanna, who he gushed over at his concert on Saturday (10.09.16). He called the superstar "incredible, beautiful and talented."

As the pair hugged on stage, he said: "I pray that you find somebody that holds you down like this woman right here."

Drake’s tour bus thief is a homeless janitor

The suspect accused of stealing jewelry from Drake’s tour bus is a homeless janitor.

The 29-year-old rapper had his tour bus broken into whilst he was performing at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, on Tuesday (09.06.16) as part of his ‘Summer Sixteen Tour’ with Future.

On Wednesday (09.07.16), a man named Travion King was arrested on suspicion of the theft after he was caught trespassing on the college’s Tempe campus and was allegedly found with the stolen goods which reportedly belonged to the ‘One Dance’ hitmaker’s DJ, Future the Prince.

Court documents released on Thursday (08.09.16) listed the 21-year-old’s address as a homeless shelter in Phoenix and also stated that he works for a company that cleaning services for large facilities.

The news of Travion’s occupation comes after Phoenix Police discovered that the crime was committed by someone who knew the layout of the building, and revealed that Travion had "done contract work for the venue in the past".

Sergeant Vince Lewis said: "We’re talking about somebody who knew the layout or was able to gain access or to get back there unnoticed."

Police reports originally stated that the stolen items – which have now been recovered – were worth $3 million (£2.2 million), but the court documents state that the victim estimates the value at around $400,00 (£300,738).

The news of the arrest comes after the ‘Hotline Bling’ rapper – who is in a relationship with Rihanna – announced he plans to open a "classy" strip club in Houston called The Ballet.

Drake to open strip club

Drake is to open a strip club in Houston called ‘The Ballet’.

The ‘Hotline Bling’ rapper teased his new venture while opening a pop-up shop at the Toyota Center in the city on Monday night (05.09.16) where he told the crowd the club is a "classy new dance experience".

Drake – who has an on/off relationship with R&B superstar Rihanna – also took to his Instagram account to announce his new venture and confirmed the Texas joint will be opening at the beginning of next year and aims to put women on a "pedestal".

Alongside a picture of what looks like a logo for the company, Drake wrote: "Tonight is a different take on how it should be done in Houston. Treat yourself don’t cheat yourself. Where the women are on a pedestal and the surroundings are unforgettable. The Ballet pop up tonight for HAW. Grand opening early 2017. #HelloWorld (sic)"

The 29-year-old hunk and 28-year-old ‘Work’ hitmaker often enjoy nights out at strip clubs and once spent $17,000 on one trip to a Houston adult club.

Meanwhile, things are hotting up between the pair after they rekindled their romance after Drake’s heartfelt admission at the MTV VMAs last week.

The hip hop star said he has been "in love" with Rihanna since he was 22, and now he reportedly once to marry the singer.

A source recently said: "Drake is very committed to Rihanna. They are both mature and ready to commit now. Drake loves Rihanna so much and if it was up to him, he would marry her tomorrow.

"Things are different this time between them for the better. They want to make this work this time with each other."

Rihanna also recently got a tattoo tribute to Drake.

She had a camouflage shark etched on her ankle, and the design is said to be a permanent reminder of a date they went on last month.

Rihanna loved Drake’s speech

Rihanna "loves" Drake.

The 29-year-old rapper confessed his feelings for the ‘Diamonds’ hitmaker on stage in front of the world as he presented her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Madison Square Garden in New York last weekend, and she has now thanked him for his touching speech.

In a post on Instagram, she expressed her gratitude to supermodel Naomi Campbell, singer Mary J Blige and actress Tracee Ellis Ross before praising her rumoured boyfriend’s introductory speech.

Sharing a video of her own acceptance speech, she wrote: Thank you to the beautiful @iamnaomicampbell @therealmaryjblige @traceeellisross for your kind words! @champagnepapi (Drake) your speech was so touching and I love you for that!

"All in all….Best night ever!!! I’m a lucky girl!!! To God be the Glory!"

The ‘Work’ singer also praised her family and friends for their support and thanked MTV for assisting her in making her "challenging" performance a success.

She wrote: "#VMA2016 night was one that I would never forget!! I have the most incredible people in my life! My family, friends, loved ones, my fans, my team!!! All gifted beautiful spirits! And I’m so grateful that God has precisely and flawlessly arranged our paths to meet at each other! It’s because of you that I was able to reach this moment in my career! And it’s also because of you that I was able to pull off a night like this one, with 4 medley performances, 4 set productions, 4 outfits, 4 hair and makeup looks, and all in 4 days of rehearsal! It was a challenge but I wanted nothing more than to give my fans a true representation of all the colors that I’m made of as an artist! My journey has been filled with growth and people who continue to inspire me! Forever grateful to everyone involved creatively, from choreography all the way to wardrobe and production! @MTV team you were a dream to work with! (sic)"

In his introductory speech, Drake – who hasn’t officially confirmed his relationship with Rihanna despite months of speculation – said he’d been in love with the ‘Work’ singer for years.

As he clutched the trophy in his hand, he said of the brunette beauty: "She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old. She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I’ve looked up to her, even though she’s younger than me. She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry, ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016, Rihanna."

The 28-year-old singer – who also performed at the event – then took the accolade from the hunk as she leant in to give him a peck on the cheek, while he nuzzled into her neck.

However, the intimate moment under the lights didn’t last very long as Rihanna pulled away to start her speech.

They then left the stage hand-in-hand before sharing another kiss.

"And so, you know my success, it started as my dream. But now my success is not my own. It’s my family’s, it’s my fan’s, it’s my country’s, it’s the Caribbean as a whole, it’s women, it’s black women, so many people feel like their little piece is such a major part of this puzzle, and I have to thank you guys for supporting me over and over.

Reid, Jay Brown, my whole publicity team, my grandpeeps, so many people, man, they write with me from day to day.

"And my best friends, they never left me. They actually followed my a** all the way to America, getting on my damn nerves. They here right now, just witnessing this.

"This is a big moment. Thank you to Drake, for that amazing speech. Thank you to MTV, I had so much fun! Good night!"
