Drake wants to fly streamers out to attend London’s Wireless Festival where he’ll be the first artist to headline all three days.

During a recent Adin Ross stream, the Toronto rapper was FaceTiming with Internet comedian BenDaDonnn and streamers from Brazil when the topic came up. “Should we get a streamer plane to Wireless for everybody? Should I get a big jet?” he asked the popular streamer before Adin agreed and mentioned that he’ll stream on the plane if it happens. Drake then replied, “So then, tell me the flight manifest and I’m gonna get the jet.”


Drake will kick off Wireless this Friday (July 11) alongside OVO labelmates PartyNextDoor and Roy Woods, Summer Walker, Leon Thomas and KWN. On Saturday, he’ll be joined by U.K. grime legends Boy Better Know, fronted by Skepta and his brother JME, BigXthaPlug, SahBabii and British rappers Lancey Foux and Nemzzz. Then on Sunday he’s getting some help from Burna Boy, Popcaan, Spice, Masicka and the Worl’ Boss Vybz Kartel.

In other Drake news, he dropped “What Did I Miss” on July 4 weekend — the lead single from his upcoming album Iceman — along with an hourlong stream where he teased some unreleased songs. The single addresses some of the public fallouts he had with friends like NBA players DeMar DeRozan and LeBron James due to his Kendrick Lamar feud.

The new project doesn’t have an official release date yet, but on the aforementioned livestream, Drake said it will be coming soon and he signed off an autograph with “Iceman 2025.”

Tim Leiweke to Step Down as OVG’s CEO After Being Criminally Indicted for Bid-Rigging

The government accuses Leiweke of orchestrating a "conspiracy to rig the bidding process" to win a contract to build and operate the Moody Center in Austin.

Tim Leiweke, one of the most accomplished CEOs in the live entertainment and facilities business, announced today that he is stepping down as CEO of Oak View Group (OVG) after being indicted by the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division for bid-rigging related to the company’s 2017 contract to build the Moody Center Arena in Austin.

On Wednesday (July 9), a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas returned an indictment against Leiweke, alleging he orchestrated a “conspiracy to rig the bidding process for an arena at a public university in Austin, Texas.” Authorities say Leiweke conspired with the chief executive of Legends Hospitality to rig the bidding for the construction and management of Austin’s $338 million, 19,000-seat Moody Center.
