Quentin Miller, Drake‘s previous ghostwriter, has claimed that he never got paid for working for The Boy. In an interview with VladTV, Miller touched on his work for Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and alleged that he “never got a publishing check off any Drake songs.” He continued that music exec Tricky Stewart and his team refused to release him from his 2011 deal until 2019 or 2020. “I had to feed my family off getting paid under the table in that situation,” he said. “I had to let go of a lot of shit just to get out. Even when I was in it, I never got a publishing check or nothing. I was just grinding it out. Just hoping that one song, working with that one artist, is gon’ change something. That was the Drake thing and it just didn’t change anything.” Furthermore, Miller s...

Vic Mensa (and his dad) are bringing clear water to their homeland. Born Victor Kwesi Mensah, the Chicago-made rapper and creative remembers his roots, capitalizing on his success and resources to bring a better quality of life for his fellow Ghanaians through access to clean water.

We’re only three and a half months away from the 2023 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, which means this year’s headliners should be announced any day now. However, before that big reveal comes, we want to know who you think should take the main stage in Indio, Calif. this April.

He’s also previously been announced as one of the main acts this April, so if that holds true, two other headliners will be joining him on the lineup. Both Bad Bunny and Rihanna are also strong contenders among Billboard‘s predictions. T...
