Just in case you missed it, there was a Frank Ocean sighting, Ye and Travis Scott were banned yet again, and Rocky finally fought back against Drake.
5. Frank Ocean Spotted Walking the Streets of Tokyo by a Fan
There’s something both frustrating and fascinating about seeing an artist like Frank Ocean simply living his life. Despite not releasing a project in nearly 10 years, he still sits on two widely regarded classics and shows no signs of rushing back into music anytime soon. At this point, spotting him in public feels like a rare event. Recently, a fan caught him walking through the streets of Tokyo, looking completely normal, and it was genuinely heartwarming to see.
4. A$AP Rocky Kicks Off Tour With Subtle Shot at Drake
Let’s be real, Drake is probably winning his beef with A$AP Rocky by about 200 points right now. That “Burning Bridges” track from ICEMAN feels like a dagger to the heart. At this stage, I just want to see Rocky punch back.
Well, it looks like he’s trying to do exactly that. During one of the first stops on his new tour, Rocky appeared to take a shot at Drake by displaying unflattering imagery of a rat and an owl together on screen. Will it move the needle? Probably not. But at least he’s fighting back, man.
3. Spotify Reveals Its 2026 Song of the Summer Predictions Featuring Drake, Don Toliver & Dave
Remember how last year felt like one long Kendrick Lamar victory lap? Everywhere you looked, there seemed to be another award, honor, or ranking with his name attached to it. Now it feels like Drake’s turn.
Spotify recently unveiled a list of tracks they believe will rule the summer, and “Janice STFU” was among the chosen songs. It wasn’t a Drake-only affair, though. Don Toliver’s “E85” made the list, as did Dave and Tems’ “Raindance.” That said, I feel like they came up with this list right now because “Janice STFU” is going crazy (I ain’t stupid, Spotify).
2. Ye and Travis Scott Italy Concerts Reportedly Canceled Over Safety Concerns
Reports indicate that local authorities have canceled Ye and Travis Scott’s upcoming shows at RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
The reported reasoning centers on public safety concerns, including the expected attendance numbers, the fact that the concerts were scheduled on consecutive days, previous controversies surrounding Ye’s international performances, and the possibility of organized protests.
Travis Scott’s concert was planned for July 17, with Ye scheduled to perform the following night. With a few cancellations now under Ye’s belt, is it safe to say that he isn’t uncancellable?
1. Travis Scott Unveils “PINK PACK” in Cactus Jack Ad Featuring Molly Santana and Skaiwater
Travis Scott shows off the new “PINK PACK” from Cactus Jack in a commercial featuring Molly Santana, Skaiwater, and more.
It’s interesting to see how much Molly Santana has leveled up since her appearance on “Ran To Atlanta” with Drake.
As for Travis, is there anyone better than him at connecting with youth?
Quincy is the creator of Ratings Game Music. He loves writing about music, taking long walks on beaches, and spaghetti that fights him back.
