Drake has once again etched his name into music history, achieving two monumental milestones in a single day. The Canadian rapper has officially broken the record for the most cumulative weeks charting on the Billboard 200, surpassing the Beatles’ longstanding reign. According to Chart Data, Drake’s albums have now spent a combined total of 3,348 weeks on the chart — a streak that began in 2009 with his breakout project “So Far Gone.” This feat places him ahead of both the Beatles (3,311 weeks) and Taylor Swift (3,313 weeks), with Eminem being the only other hip hop act in the top 10 at 2,423 weeks.

Grammy-nominated Nigerian music superstar Davido has officially confirmed that his white wedding to wife Chioma Adeleke will take place in August 2025 in Miami, USA. The announcement comes after months of speculation and eager anticipation following their lavish traditional wedding, which was held on June 25, 2024, in Lagos. Speaking during a recent interview, Davido shared, “I’m doing my white wedding in Miami, in August,” sparking a wave of excitement among fans and supporters worldwide.
The couple’s journey has remained in the public eye, marked by moments of both joy and heartbreak. In October 2024, Davido and Chioma celebrated the first birthday of their twins in Atlanta, a milestone that followed the earlier tragic loss of their first son, Ifeanyi. “Our relationship was in the public eye and a lot of things have happened, apart from us losing our child,” Davido revealed. With the white wedding now on the horizon, social media has erupted in celebration as admirers gear up for what is expected to be another unforgettable moment in the couple’s enduring love story.

Keke Palmer has quietly replaced a controversial podcast episode featuring actor Jonathan Majors with a new guest, rapper and actress Kash Doll, on her show “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer.” The original episode, which was reportedly live on Wondery for a week, sparked swift backlash from fans who were upset over Palmer’s decision to host Majors, who was convicted in December 2024 for assault and harassment involving his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Though the episode was meant to explore “true accountability,” it was swiftly pulled following public criticism.
Majors, currently attempting a career comeback with the release of “Magazine Dreams,” has remained a polarizing figure after reports surfaced of an audio clip where he admitted to “aggressing” and strangling Jabbari. The actor, now married to Meagan Good, was sentenced to a 52-week domestic violence counseling program. In place of the pulled episode, Palmer welcomed Kash Doll, who opened up about the emotional challenges of co-parenting and breaking up with her partner shortly after the birth of their son—a pivot many fans found more resonant and timely.
5. Nemanja Matic calls Andre Onana ‘one of the worst goalkeepers in Man Utd’s history’
🗣️ “If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man Utd history, you need to take care”
Nemanja Matić has hit back at Andre Onana after the United keeper said that they are “way better” than their Europa League opponents Lyon 🔴 pic.twitter.com/jYDWgyprVG

Lyon midfielder Nemanja Matic has launched a scathing attack on Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, branding him “one of the worst goalkeepers in the club’s history.” The former United man was responding to Onana’s bold pre-match claim that United are “way better” than Lyon ahead of their Europa League quarter-final clash. Onana, who has struggled for consistency since his move from Inter Milan, made the comments in an attempt to rally his side before the crucial first leg in France. But Matic, now a key figure in Lyon’s midfield, didn’t take kindly to the assertion—especially given United’s recent struggles.
“To say something like that, you need to have courage,” Matic said. “I respect everyone, but when you’re statistically one of the worst goalkeepers in Man Utd’s modern history, you should be careful with your words.” He went on to draw comparisons with legendary United keepers like Peter Schmeichel, Edwin van der Sar, and David de Gea, stating that only someone of their stature could speak so confidently. Matic’s comments add fuel to an already tense encounter, as Lyon—unbeaten in eight of their last ten matches—look to capitalize on United’s rocky form. With the Red Devils sitting mid-table in the Premier League and struggling under Ruben Amorim’s leadership, Thursday’s Europa League fixture is shaping up to be a pivotal moment in their season.
