Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Barely a day goes by without Drake making headlines and the last few have thrown plenty of fuel onto the fire that is his ongoing business, music, and personal drama. The biggest story circling the industry is Drake quietly ending his partnership with longtime booking agent Brent Smith of Wasserman Music, a move confirmed by Billboard and reported by Hits Daily Double. This decision is widely seen as fallout from his beef with Kendrick Lamar, who shared the same agent and recently made history with SZA on their Grand National Tour, now the highest-grossing hip-hop trek ever. Drake is switching his representation to the powerhouse Creative Artists Agency CAA, with Daryl Eaton and Alex Mebed managing his future bookings. Analysts and fans are buzzing about a massive 2026 tour that Drake is expected to launch with Live Nation, which could mark a pivotal step in his career trajectory as he pivots away from any ties directly bridging him to Lamar. Insiders continue to speculate on the immediate consequences for both artists beyond the professional split, though nothing concrete has emerged yet.
Drake’s tangled web with Universal Music Group also resurfaced in headlines. Earlier this year, he sued UMG over the lyrics in Kendrick’s number one diss track Not Like Us, accusing the label of running a campaign that he said was defamatory and potentially dangerous. That federal lawsuit was tossed, but his legal team recently filed an appeal. The industry is watching to see if this case gains traction and if it sets any precedent over artists challenging label-backed promotion of rivalries.
On a lighter but much-discussed note across social media, Drake shut down the infamous urban legend first aired by Meek Mill and T.I. years ago, which claimed T.I.’s friend urinated on him at a movie premiere. Posting to Instagram, Drake bluntly denied it ever happened and called the viral story internet fodder to juice up interviews. The post has been widely shared and quoted by outlets like Power 105.1 and 96.1 The Beat, stirring up fan reactions as old beefs resurface amidst his current drama.
Unconfirmed but swirling are rumors that Drake’s next album ICEMAN is nearing release, tying into speculation about his upcoming tour and possible new feuds reigniting on record. Fans are parsing every mention, but so far neither Drake nor his label has officially announced a release date. Away from the controversy, his OVO clothing line and business ventures like Virginia Black whiskey are quietly surging according to University of Toronto info reports. The OVO brand’s partnership with Nike and Timberland keeps Drake well seated at the intersection of fashion and rap, while tabloid whispers keep measuring his every move for broader cultural impact. As November ticks on Drake remains a central figure in music, business, and social media culture, with every new twist sending waves through the hip-hop landscape.
