Carols don’t really go with much, except the holidays.

But surprisingly, the lyrics of Drake’s 2016 hit “Hotline Bling” seem to go pretty well with the melody of Christmas carol “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.”

Twitter user Becca Rose posted a video of herself singing the mashup, which she said was discovered in a Tumblr post

And hey, you know what, it really does go well together.

Recently I saw a post from tumblr user chlostars that noted “Hotline Bling” has the same syllables as the Christmas carol “Hark the Herald Angels sing.” I took this as a personal challengepic.twitter.com/wiht02pvt5

Kanye West just apologized to Drake in a very public way

TwitterFacebook

It’s the end of an era — for now. After many months of tense back-and-forth, Kanye West has issued a very public apology to Drake.

On Wednesday, West hopped on Twitter to apologize to the artist, referencing a myriad of squabbles between the two (and their affiliated artists) over the years, including the 2016 beef between Kid Cudi and Drake, and Drake’s feud with Pusha T that resulted in the reveal that the former is a father.

There was only one way to close out the epic and unpredictable journey that was the “In My Feelings” saga of 2018: Shiggy. 

The online personality behind @theshiggyshow on Instagram started a worldwide dance challenge that’s resulted in countless videos — plus a couple arrests and at least one person who got hit by a car. Thanks to his handiwork — and his role in helping propel the song to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in a row — Shiggy scored an epic cameo in Drake’s official “In My Feelings” music video.

Drake’s moody tweet from 2012 has been brought back as a meme

TwitterFacebook

Eternal sadboy Drake is having a moment on Twitter. 

Over the past week, a tweet from 2012 was resurfaced and turned into a super relatable meme. The moody tweet asks, “What am I gonna do? Say no?” 

Is anyone surprised that the artist who croons, “Say you’ll never ever leave from beside me” was subtweeting in 2012? 

Although we never found out who Drake was sulking about — although knowing him, it was probably Rihanna — the tweet stands strong six years later as the ultimate reaction to dealing with responsibility. Read more…
