On Wednesday night, Drake continued his “It’s All A Blur Tour” at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. In a TikTok video that’s been circulating the internet, you can see Drake gifting a front-row fan a pink Hermès Birkin bag. “Make sure she has security on the way out, so nobody wilds her up,” he said to the crowd.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter back in 2017, Drake revealed that he’d been collecting Birkin bags for years for “the woman I end up with.” Three years later, the rapper’s luxury collection made its debut in his Architectural Digest cover story that featured his Toronto mansion.

International musical superstar David Adeleke, famously known as Davido, stunned his fans in the late hours of Tuesday, August 15. The celebrity took to his socials to post a photo of his newly acquired, larger-than-life, blinged-out, hourglass-shaped pendant. The new purchase was made to commemorate the success of his “Timeless” album and his tour. And much like his album, it’s a timeless piece worth about the equivalent of ₦577 million.
The piece, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, was made by the Local Kettle Brothers in London, UK. According to the jewelers, the show-stopping 350-carat diamond pendant weighed about 1.5 kg, and the exquisite pendant features hand-picked diamonds, constructed with a 1-carat pear diamond above the pendant, and 4–0.5 carat pear diamonds in the center. It also detailed a 30-pointer border around the hourglass, spelling ‘30BG’ across the bespoke Cuban chain.

On Wednesday, August 16, Chris Brown revealed some details for his next body of work via Instagram. His forthcoming album will be titled 11:11, a name chosen because it will be his 11th overall. Keeping with the same theme, the project will consist of 11 songs and is expected to be released on November 11. Its lead single, the RoccStar and DSTRK-produced “Summer Too Hot,” made landfall this past June.
“I see some of my die-hard fans wanting me to add more songs for the new project and I love y’all for that,” the Virginia star stated in response to his shorter-than-usual tracklist. “But, I just feel I need you all to really miss me and take my art seriously. I’m just focused on giving y’all the best to digest. 11:11. Make a wish.”

Chelsea captain Reece James has reportedly suffered a fresh hamstring injury and is set to have a scan on the issue. James sat out Chelsea’s final seven games of last season with a hamstring injury. Now, the 23-year-old has reportedly picked up a fresh hamstring problem in training and is due to have a scan.
The England international was named as the Blues’ skipper for the new season and started in his side’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool last week. While they do have a backup option in his position with the £30 million ($38m) summer signing of Malo Gusto, losing James for an extended period would be a big blow. The defender, who replaced Cesar Azpilicueta as club captain after the Spaniard’s move to Atletico Madrid this summer, missed much of last season with knee and hamstring injuries and was unable to play at the World Cup either.
