1. Drake Flexes Owning 2Pac’s Death Row Records Chain

Drake has once again flexed his ownership of Tupac “2Pac” Shakur’s iconic memorabilia, this time unveiling the late rapper’s Death Row Records chain on Instagram. The 38-year-old Toronto superstar shared a photo of Pac wearing the chain while teasing the Copenhagen stop of his $ome $pecial $hows 4 U tour. He then followed it up with close-up shots of the jewelry and an engraving on the back that reads, “All eyez on YOU 1996.” The move stirred conversation online, not only because of the chain’s significance but also because it adds to Drake’s growing collection of Pac’s personal items, which already includes the $1 million crown ring he purchased at a Sotheby’s auction in 2023.
The latest flex carries extra weight in light of Drake’s history with Kendrick Lamar, who previously accused him of disrespecting Pac’s legacy during their high-profile feud. Last year, Drake provoked backlash after using an AI-modulated version of Pac’s voice on “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Lamar fired back on “Euphoria” with lines suggesting the Canadian star was making Pac “turn in his grave.” Drizzy later flaunted Pac’s crown ring in his “Family Matters” video, fueling the back-and-forth. By showcasing the Death Row chain in Copenhagen, a city Lamar once referenced on Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, Drake appears to be sending another subtle shot while cementing his claim to a piece of hip-hop history.

Tennis legend Serena Williams is drawing mixed reactions after starring in a new advertisement for Ro, a direct-to-patient healthcare company that promotes GLP-1 treatments. In the campaign, Williams is shown self-administering the injection as she narrates her struggles with her body after childbirth. She later revealed in an interview that she was initially hesitant about using GLP-1s but did extensive research before deciding to try them. The 23-time Grand Slam champion shared that she has lost more than 31 pounds since starting the treatment, describing the results as “really exciting.”
Williams’ endorsement of the weight loss drug has sparked conversations among fans and healthcare observers alike. While some praised her transparency, others questioned the accessibility and approval process for GLP-1 treatments such as Ozempic and Mounjaro, which are typically prescribed for diabetes patients. One social media user pointed out the double standard, asking how Williams was able to get approval when “so many patients are denied because they’re not at risk for diabetes.” With her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, serving on Ro’s board, Williams’ partnership with the company highlights the growing intersection of celebrity influence, healthcare marketing, and public debate over the widespread use of GLP-1 drugs.

Arsenal have been dealt an injury blow ahead of their clash with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, with Bukayo Saka ruled out due to a hamstring problem. The 23-year-old winger limped off during the Gunners’ 5-0 win over Leeds United at the Emirates, and early assessments suggest he could be sidelined for up to four weeks. His absence also means he will miss England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia next month. The setback comes as a concern given Saka’s history with hamstring injuries, having missed three months of last season with a similar issue.
Adding to Arsenal’s worries, captain Martin Odegaard is also a doubt after suffering a shoulder injury in the same game. The Norwegian playmaker was forced off in the first half and left the stadium with his arm in a sling, though club staff remain hopeful the damage is not long-term. Manager Mikel Arteta will lean on Arsenal’s summer recruits, Viktor Gyökeres, Noni Madueke, and Eberechi Eze, alongside existing options Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Ethan Nwaneri, and Max Dowman, to cover the absence of two key players in what could be a pivotal fixture against the Premier League champions.
