And this is another episode of the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily diva. All things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Oh, my God. All of the conversations that shake the room. Baby, I forgot how I forget the baby, y'. All. Okay, so let's start off with checking in behind the scenes of the grind. Yeah, today has been one of those days that it just been, like, non stop ongoing. I think it's just the end of the week hitting the end of the week. You know, how everything, like, compiles all in one day. But it's been a good day nonetheless. I've been spending a lot more time getting and shipping and figuring out all of your orders. So thank you to everybody who has ordered from brown girlgrinding.com, which is the. So Brown Girl Grinding is the production company. So, you know, they play a hand and not they. We play a hand in producing the podcast that you guys are listening to. The content that I do with brands, just so many different things. And everything is housed under Brown Girl Grinding. And we have merch on the website brown girlgrinding.com and y' all have been, like, really supporting, and I really, really appreciate it to the point where it's like all hands on deck. We have multiple people sending out orders, making sure everybody gets everything that they need, everything that they ordered, and just staying on top of things. So last night I was up until like 2am making sure that I packed orders right. And I just had everything together for this morning to the point where I missed my teas this morning on the Breakfast Club because I, like, I was just up until, like, late. I was in and out of sleep, to be honest. So, like, I felt falling asleep, got up, was like, all right, let me, you know, put this stuff to the side, fell back to sleep. And then when I woke up, I'm like, oh, my God, I'm running late. But I appreciate you guys, though, a lot. And I was thinking about it as I was, you know, making sure that everything got shipped out today that I've always said That I wanted, like, Brown Girl Grinding as a production company to be so, oh, my God, it's snowing. I'm looking at the window right now in New York and it's snowing, and it's been like, 70, 80 degrees here. That's so crazy. But I've always said that I wanted Brown Girl Grinding as a production company and all the content that we put out, all of the stories that we tell to be done at a very high level. Like, I've always wanted people to look at us and be like, okay, this is the Nike of what they do, of content, of storytelling. And you could tell stories in so many different ways. Fashion has always been a way for me, and designing and figuring out all of that, and that space has always been a passion area for me. So to see people, like, purchasing the, you know, the gear and wearing it and tagging it. Somebody text me the other day and was like, they were just so excited that they placed the order and that the order was out for delivery. And they sent me a screenshot of the delivery and they were like, yo, I'm a part of the movement. Like. And I was like, yes, that's the energy. The energy is. This is a movement.

Now let's get on into the latest. Speaking of putting things out into the world and not knowing how people are going to receive them, man, Drake. That is the line right there, man. Drake. Okay, so Drake has a new project coming. The project is called Iceman and Drake has been releasing like visuals like these like mini films just to like support the fact that this new project is coming now. It was supposed to come in early 2026, but I feel like now that we're leaving March early, 2026 is kind of over. But that is all that we know. And I think every single time that fans anticipate Iceman is about to drop, like a few weeks ago, maybe even a month ago now I remember people being like almost definitely for sure that they knew that Drake was dropping signals and that Iceman was going to drop on a specific Friday. And that Friday came and went and nothing dropped. But we are back here again. Drake is doing it again to us, okay? He has us all revved up and ready to hear the music. So Drake changed the Abbey on his Instagram to a 2000s photo of Lil Wayne back when Lil Wayne was on the Jenny Jones Show. And every single time Drake is getting ready to release new music, he is like changing Abbey's on Instagram and all of the things. Now he also posted to his Instagram an Insta story that said that the comeback is this one is personal for him. And that has been the conversation. Now Drake, don't get me wrong, Drake has been breaking records across streaming platforms over the last few months that I feel like a lot of people don't talk about. And I think that it's a double edged sword. I think number one, people don't talk about it because the narrative after not like Us is that Drake is this, you know, woe is me artist and Drake is still Drake at the end of the day. So I don't believe that. But I think that's what's out there, right? And then everything happened with the lawsuit and him suing Universal Music Group, them asking for the lawsuit to be dismissed, a judge, you know, just all of the things that have happened since then and, and just how it has made Drake look as an artist. Basically like a sore loser. Like, basically like someone who can't accept the fact that he is still at the top, but he might not be everybody's favorite right now. On the other end of that sword you have the fact that there's because of not like us. There's been this bot conversation about, you know, alleging that Drake and his streams and, you know, all the numbers and, and all of the streaming records that were breaking or that that, you know, his music is breaking doesn't really belong to him because it's not real. Everything is inflated. And I think there are people who, you know, even though things are, you know, just said in conversation or alleged, because I know Drake alleged that, you know, Kendrick Lamar and Universal Music Group inflated numbers and pushed things in a way that they shouldn't have. And there's been conversation about Dr. And bodying and him using money from steak to do so. Like, everything is just so murky right now. I feel like people don't know what to believe. But to be honest with you, I think that this is the best time for Drake to come through with some good music because I think if nothing else, I think about it, if nothing else, good music is going to stand and it could change the narrative. But your messaging in that music has to be so strong. When Drake dropped his last project, right, Nokia was on the project. I remember saying on the Breakfast Club, Nokia is the one. This song is fire. And they were like, what? You didn't even get a chance to listen to it? I'm like, no, you can listen to a project and identify which song is going to resonate the best, especially for that time period. Like people wanting to be outside, people wanting to have something to dance to, people wanting something a beat and just wanting like some feel good music from Drake. Because at that point it's like we don't even really know what to expect because you want to feel like, oh my God, he's been through so much. But it was just, it was just a little rap battle which he participated in. But Nokia went crazy. It broke records. It was all over the streaming charts. I mean, it was topping charts, right? But the narrative still stands of Drake, Kendrick, not like us, winner, sore loser, that whole thing. The best thing Drake can do right now is drop some music that is so undeniably good and the narrative is so undeniably good and causes conversation. I don't think people will forget the not like us moment, but I do think that it will help. And when Drake dropped a lot of the music that he dropped, I talked about it here on the podcast on a previous episode. And I said, like, I don't want to hear Drake address all of the beef and all those things. I think there's so much more he can talk about. Was when he dropped, what did I miss. And I was like, there's so much more that Drake could talk about and have a conversation about. And I was very honest in my opinion there. And I still feel that way. I do think that there are certain things that we do want to hear him address. Like, I want to hear him talk about why he decided to file a lawsuit knowing, you know, the things that we know the record label feels about the lawsuit and, you know, just like everybody's stance on it. I want to know why. Like, there are some things I do think I want to hear him address, but there are some things where I'm like, listen, you can't. Like, we just got to move on. Because even if. Right. Like, even if you're saying you're not a sore loser, even if you're saying you didn't cry, this didn't phase you, the music that happened since then doesn't feel like that. And speaking of music, you know, there were these snippets that were released online and I'll play them for you just for context so you guys can hear. So let's take a listen to this one where Drake, you know, is dissing, but we can't really fully hear. But Drake is somewhat, from what it seems like, dissing Serena Williams, but also taking a little shot at Kendrick Lamar too. Serena, but I'm cool with Venus. I be hanging around these niggas like I'm dua Lipa. I might hit a schoolboy and do a remix. And then there's a second track that dropped as well. I mean, it didn't drop, but that was leaked, a snippet of it as well. And this was a. This was a three part thing. But the third song was actually old fans believe that this is real and this is something that could really be on Iceman because the same way that this music was released was the same way that a few songs for that. A few songs from some sexy songs for you were also released as well prior to. Were leaked prior to. But I have no official confirmation on if these songs will actually be on Drake's new Iceman project that is supposed to be released soon. But. But here's the thing. Charlamagne made a comment today on the Breakfast Club that has the people in a frenzy. Like, if we know nothing else, we know that people right now, since these snippets are having a conversation about whether Drake and Future have put aside all their differences, right? And we have a timeline of their beef, put aside all of their differences because Kendrick Lamar and everything that started the not like us. Conversation happened on future's album and Future and Drake are. We don't trust you. Right? And Future and Drake are very well known collaborators. And Kendrick Lamar comes on the record and says, there's no Big Three, it's just Big me, right? So from everything that we know, you know, we even had Young Thug tweeting trying to get Future and Drake back together with a Metro boom. And who produced the record, right? From everything we know that camp has not been the same since. I do know that a few months back, Elliot Wilson said on his show that does with DJ Head that he had heard that Future and Drake had had a conversation and squashed the beach and had moved on. But people were saying that Elliot Wilson was crazy. But Charlamagne said that he had heard this song, or I'm sorry, Charlamagne said that he had talked to someone who had heard Iceman and that Future and Drake were on the project together. Now I'm going to go in and dig a bit more following this episode because I think timeline matters. And in the moment when Charlamagne said this, we did not get a gist of the timeline. But timeline does matter, right? Because if this is a very old project or very old feature that Drake and Future did, it's a little different than saying they buried the hatch and they recorded new music. But at the same time, does it really matter, though? Because even if it's old music, the fact that Drake would even put that on a project, as sensitive as it seemed like Drake has been throughout this whole Kendrick Lamar thing, and he got so upset at LeBron for being at the Pop out and dancing at the Pop out that he removed LeBron's tattoo and he threw shots at LeBron. And what did I miss? You know what I mean? Like, after all of that, if Drake ain't fooling with you, he ain't fooling with you. If Future. Look, Future said, if Young Metro don't. Don't trust you, I'm gonna shoot you. It's very much like that on both sides. So the fact that Future is even on this project, allegedly, even if an old verse, I don't think Drake would do that if there wasn't some sort of hatchberry conversation head. Hey, y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And you know, I give you your daily dig on all things pop, cult, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. And for me to give you all the factual content, when I get into the details, I gotta make some phone calls. I'm calling lawyers, attorneys, managers, publicist. Shoot, I'll even call your mama if she's the person that's gonna give me the exclusive I need. But did you know that 2026 will mark the 150th anniversary of the first ever phone call? It took place on March 10, 1876. And from the call that sparked it all to the first long distance phone lines, the first line across America, the first line across the Atlantic, the first round the world call, the first commercial cell Service, the first 911 system, AT&T has been connecting people for 150 years in so many different ways. I'm just happy that somebody's going to answer the phone, because how else would I bring you all the news all up in the people business? But they answer. Thank you at&t. Connecting changes everything at&t. This episode is brought to you by Spreaker, the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain.

Open your free iHeartRadio app, search the Cino show and listen now. Now let's take you through a real quick timeline of Drake and futures. Like, because it's like their relationship has always been like their collaborators. They're supposed to be brothers. They make good music. They make hella good music together, right? Some of the, the timeless music together, right? But from a fan's perspective, right, I'm, I'm fans of the, I'm a fan of the music that they make together. And I also follow the timeline of their relationship. And from everything I know, there's always been this weird subliminal like, like competition or jealousy or something between the two of them that has always made it where we Always can. Can inquire or infer that they're subliminally throwing shots at each other. Right. So back in 2011, future, you know, was. Was making his way as an artist, and he was debuting, like, his first big song. He had had, you know, some success before that, but this was, like, this was the one. This was commercial. This is. He was betting it all on Tony Montana. He did the song. Drake was featured on the song. And then Drake did not show up to do the video. And Future talked at that time to the source about how it was a slap in the face. Let's take a listen. And then separately in another interview, Future and I look, and I didn't have to look far to compile all these receipts. Like, people just put this together because it's always been a known thing of us trying to figure out, are they beefing or do they. Are they bros? Do they love each other? Like, that has always been a thing. So following that, Drake did Started from the Bottom, which we know, classic period, right. Future talked about in another interview when he was doing if you make it from the bottom, you the chosen one. Right. That song. And Drake was in the studio, and he. And Future says that Started from the Bottom was inspired by the making of his song let's Take a Listen. Started from the Bottom would have been a track that you would have liked to have been on. Yeah, because when I was in the studio, when we was making the record, when he made the record, he was in the studio session with me. That's when I had the chosen one. And I'm like, when you make it from the bottom, you the chosen one. So when we was at the studio, Drake came by the studio, and I always tell my engineer, started from the bottom. So when I put the beats on, I was like, man, put the beats in. So I always started from the bottom. So when I say started from the bottom, he thought I was talking about a song. So when I played Chosen, when he loved the chosen one, but he was waiting for me in this and Chosen one to say, started from the bottom. So he said instantly, he telling me this story. He bought me a bottle of Louis XIII that I never opened up. Wow. Because of this story. And I'm like, man, I won't bought. I need publishing. You know what I'm saying? But Drake, that's the homie. And he was like, man, started from the bottom, it stayed on my mind. I instantly got in the video, got in, got in the. With the driver and told him, put the city in. I Already had the beat. And I just started saying, started from the bottom. Now we here crazy. I was like, man, why you tell me in the story? And I can understand Future One publishing, I'm not even gonna hold you. It's like, even if I didn't write, even if my voice isn't on it, the concept that came from me, I mean, I don't know. Maybe not enough. I won't say. Maybe not enough for publishing, but I do think that's like having a reference track and acting like the reference track never happened. Like, where things are sung a certain way. Or like, even if it inspires another song. Like, you know where that came from. And you guys heard Future be like, well, why ain't gonna publish it? Why you ain't just say that then? And then there was the whole thing in 2010 where future was supposed to go on tour with Drake and he had made some comments to Billboard. Now, the crazy thing is, is when you go look up this Billboard article, these comments are not in the article. But Future had a. Had, you know, made these alleged comments to Billboard about Drake. And basically he was talking about how Drake's music just didn't move you. Like Drake puts out music, music, but it just doesn't move you. Like a Future record, right? Those were the alleged comments, and there were a few other things. Now, the journalist, her name is Erica Ramirez, she was working for Billboard at the time. She did the story. She also tweeted the comments, like, tweeted the quotes in order to push the story. And then future's managers reached out, and they allegedly. And they were freaking out and wanted their quotes removed. So everything was removed from that Billboard article. And during this time, Future was still promoting his album Honest. And nothing Drake had nothing was the same that was out. So what do you. So what. The original quotes that allegedly were in. In that were in the article were asked to be removed, but were still left on Twitter because the journalist, she never removed them from her Twitter. The comments were, drake made an album that is full of hits, but it doesn't grab you. And he was comparing nothing was the same to Honest, right? So then Future allegedly went on to say, they're not possessive. They don't make you feel the way I do I want you to fall in love now, again, these quotes will later be removed from that Billboard article at the request allegedly of future's manager, who said that Future was misquoted like he was taken out of context. Future went on X himself. At that time, it was called Twitter. But Future Went on X himself, and he posted respect to Billboard, disappointed on being misquoted. Always love for my fam, Drizzy Drake. But the tour with them never happened. Now, moving forward, it's so crazy. There's always been, like. That's what I'm saying. There's always been, like, this, like, back and forth with them. I remember Noriega came on the breakfast club in 2023. And I remember this clip because I remember he was so, like, vague about how he knew the information, but he was so specific about what he knew that people believed him. So fast forward 2023, Noriega comes on the Breakfast Club, and he says that Drake and Future were beefing because, well, in the midst of all of this, there's always been conversation about things being about a girl. And I know even with everybody turning their back on Drake, recently, there's been conversation about Drake and different girls that he's dealt with and. Or lack thereof, and who they belong to first and that whole thing. And there was some issue that people alleged was happening between Future and Drake about a woman, Metro booming. I remember he had to come out on X and be like, y' all don't even know what y' all talking about, man. Just enjoy the music. Ain't no shots been done to nobody. But Nori came on the Breakfast Club, and he said that he had heard that Drake and Future had an issue because Drake did a joint project with 21 Savage called her loss. And the reason why Future was upset was because Future and Drake, I mean, they're just known to be like, historical collaborators. Like, when they make music together, baby, like, it's just. It's just a good time. But her loss with 21 Savage and Drake was also just like, it was fire. Like, I still listen to that to this day. And the music is just. It's good. So Nouri came on Breakfast Club and was basically saying that Future was upset about Drake because of this joint project, you know, because it basically took the shine away from a joint mixtape that Future and Drake had. The what a time to be alive. Let's take a listen to Nori. Oh, that's what I heard. I heard that's a big rumor that. That Future is not too happy this Drake and 21 Savage album. And because Future and Drake did an album before, and it makes Drake and Future album not as important, I would say. And that's. I mean, this is allegedly. This is all rumors. I never heard it from future's mouth, never heard it from Drake, never heard it from 21. But it's an alleged big rumor that's. That's going on right now. Where'd you hear that? At Eno? In. In the streets. In the streets with a K In Miami. In Miami, Yes. I'm a Miami in. Yes. So you heard that Future is upset with Drake because Drake did an album with 21 Savage, because it makes their. What's their project down. Seem less important? I would think so. You know what I mean? We've never seen Jay Z do another Best of both worlds, you know what I'm saying? We've seen. Watch the thing. Even with all this, right? Even with all this background I'm giving y', all, people still chalk up their differences and. Or lack thereof to it being about a woman, like, literally always. And there's been, like, small, little, like, you know, shots that people think that Drake has thrown at Future. Like, I know, like, on her loss. People thought when he was talking about, like, what would Pluto do? People thought he was being, like, a little sarcastic and being a little funny and not really bigging his friend up and being like, okay, I really think, you know, you'd be like, what would Beyonce do? Like, okay, you're not really caring about what he would really do in this situation. You're just making a comparison of, like, okay, if he could do it, then I. Then I could do it too. It's cool when they do it. It's a problem when I do it, you know? Like, people felt like it was coming from that type of energy. And then, of course, the biggest thing of them all that shattered everything was Kendrick Lamar dissing Drake on, like, that, which was on Futures Project. We don't trust you. And I mean, if I'm Drake, all the other stuff I said up until this point, up until, we don't trust you. And like, that. That's ancillary stuff. Like, even if that was a real issue, it's cute. It played out in public. Not really. Y' all can get over that. But letting Kendrick come on there and Little Boy Me ain't no Big Three. It's just Big Me and knowing that the people already think we don't fool with each other. Not mad at Drake for having an issue about that. But that's why if what Charlamagne is saying about someone telling him that they heard Iceman. And mind you, it's not just Charlamagne. Again, Elliot Wilson again, DJ Head. These are all people who are saying and have been saying for some time now, this is not new, that their beef is over behind the scenes. I don't know, y'. All. I might listen. I was looking forward to Iceman anyway, but I definitely am looking forward to it now.
