Panda. Panda. Panda. By this time in the summer, most of the seasonal hits are a foregone conclusion, so we can all bank our beach bods on hearing Desiigner, Drake, Rihanna and, unfortunately, “Toothbrush” fifty-eleven times before we have to pack away our bikinis.
Drake and his unfortunately beardless face appears on The Ellen Show today to talk about his “intense” Saturday Night Live experience and how he and Rihanna are just friends. He also played a quick “Never Have I Ever” game with Jared Leto.
Last week, an Instagram post emerged highlighting the similarities between a dance routine from Beyoncé’s Formation Tour and the work of artist Alexander Ekman. Those familiar with Beyoncé will remember that this is far from the first time the Lemonade singer has been accused of heavily borrowing, if we’re being…
If you were wondering whether Drake’s recent beard shave meant that he has lost all of his hip-hop powers, then last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live proved you wrong.

On Wednesday night, reports the Michigan Daily, students at the University of Michigan received a flood of emails from “hotlineblingblingboi@gmail.com,” each containing a line from Drake’s single.
Anti is not our adult Santa, as we’ve come to fear; Anti may, in fact, be real, and at the very least “Work,” featuring Drake, is incredibly real, insofar that downloading something off Tidal for $1.29 after three attempts to pay is “real.” Never mind that, though: here’s a new freakin’ Rihanna song!
For every former emo teen, there is an individual emo revival. A long drive, a 1975 track, a screenshot of literally any scene from the OC: it can come out of nowhere, and there’s no predicting what will plunge you back into the days when you loved journals and fingerblasting and nobody ever washed their jeans.
