Drake Appears to Call Out Friends Who Left His Side After Kendrick Lamar Beef

NEED TO KNOW
- Drake has released a new single — “What Did I Miss?” — in which he seemingly calls out the friends who didn’t stand by his side
- The track arrives more than a year after his public lyrical sparring with Kendrick Lamar
- “Last time I looked to my right, you n—-s was standing beside me / How can some people I love hang around p—— who try me,” Drake raps on the new track
Drake is seemingly reflecting on the aftermath of his public back-and-forth with Kendrick Lamar — and he’s making it clear how he feels about those he apparently lost along the way.
On Friday, July 4, the 38-year-old musician released the new single “What Did I Miss?” as part of his “Iceman: Episode 1” livestream, alongside an apparent message for the friends who didn’t take his side amid the high-profile hip-hop feud.
In the track, the OVO Sound founder offers some words for the “traitors” in his life, and he appears to name-drop Lamar’s June 2024 The Pop Out concert in Los Angeles — the one where Lamar performed his diss track “Not Like Us” five times back-to-back.
“I don’t give a f— if you love me, I don’t give a f— if you like me,” Drake opens his new song. “Askin’ me, ‘How did it feel?’ Can’t say it didn’t surprise me / Last time I looked to my right, you n—-s was standing beside me / How can some people I love hang around p—— who try me?”

After the first verse of “What Did I Miss?” — in which Drake declares, “Love for my brothers and death to a traitor” — he elaborates in the second verse.
“I’m back in your city tonight, walkin’ around with my head high / I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d— riding gang since ‘Headlines,’ ” he raps, referencing his 2011 Take Care single.

“It feels like nobody’s there until you start givin’ out two-tones / And nobody cares until they in front of your tombstone / Y’all been on that type of timing for too long,” he continues.
Drake paired his new single with a visual, featuring himself posing with dozens of what appear to be weapons near a pool, before dancing in a warehouse of ice.
Drake’s latest comments come more than a year after his beef with Lamar, 38, resulted in the release of several disses from both parties, including Lamar’s Grammy-winning track “Not Like Us.”
Former Drake collaborators Future, Metro Boomin and Rick Ross were among those also involved in the exchange of diss tracks in 2024 — as other collaborators appeared at Lamar’s Pop Out concert that June.
Since then, Drake has taken legal action against Universal Music Group in the months that followed the release and promotion of “Not Like Us,” alleging that the song defamed him. UMG has denied the accusations that it intentionally tried to harm Drake’s career.
Since then, Drake has released his first album since the feud, his collaborative effort with PartyNextDoor, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, which spawned hit single “Nokia.” $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, released in February, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, while “Nokia” peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 in April.

Justin Bieber is having a father-son day with Jack Blues.
The Swag musician, 31, shared a glimpse into his beachside getaway — complete with ocean-side views and pasta — alongside his 10-month-old son in several photos posted to X shared on Monday, July 14.
In one photo he shared, he could be seen on a beach blanket beside Jack Blues, whom he shares with wife Hailey Baldwin Bieber, in a white onesie and cuddling a gray baby blanket. He held one of the infant’s legs while he snuggled into his side on the sand. Another snap showed a close-up of the father-son duo as they appeared to take a nap on the beach.
Other pictures he shared gave some insight into other parts of his vacation, including a snap of the chicken pasta he ate and a view from a table of the sea, and a nearby mountainscape with several boats and yachts nearby. Justin captioned the photos with firework emojis.
The same day, the “Baby” singer shared photos of a romantic boat excursion with his wife, Hailey, on Instagram.
An exclusive source previously told PEOPLE that Justin and Hailey were celebrating the release of his first solo album in more than four years over the weekend. Swag, which is a mix of R&B, pop and experimental production that showcases Justin’s vocal style, has been described by some as his most personal record yet.

“This album is a huge milestone for Justin in so many ways,” another source told PEOPLE following the release of Swag. “It’s the first solo album he’s released since becoming a father, and it’s the first time he’s produced sound that’s all his own. He was so excited for everyone to listen to his new music.”
The new photos Justin posted come a week after the “Stay” singer shared some snaps of Jack Blues joining him in the studio. In the pictures, Jack was captured standing by a coffee table, which was surrounded by Justin and his pals, two of whom were playing guitars. He captioned the post with a series of love heart emojis.

Jennifer Aniston all smiles after Mallorca vacation with Jim Curtis

Jennifer Aniston looked fit and happy as she returned home from her vacation with rumored boyfriend Jim Curtis.
The “Friends” alum was photographed back in Los Angeles on Sunday after spending time in Mallorca with Curtis.
Aniston, 56, sported a relaxed vacation look and looked effortlessly chic in baggy jeans, a tank top showing off her toned arms, a tan hat and sunglasses.
Aniston appeared in good spirits, smiling as she walked. Her rumored new beau was not photographed alongside her, though her good friends — Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka, who joined them on vacay — were also spotted touching down in LA.
Aniston hasn’t confirmed she’s dating Curtis, 49. But their relationship was all but confirmed when they were photographed engaging in PDA on a yacht in Mallorca in pictures obtained by Page Six.
Curtis, a hypnotist, put his arm around her and was also snapped giving her a back massage.
At one point, they were seen wrapped in a passionate embrace.
Curtis gushed about his Spain vacation in his newsletter Monday.
“I am back from vacation and what an experience!” he wrote. “When I was sick, sad, stuck and in pain I never thought I would have the abundance, joy and love I now experience on a daily basis.
“I just took one step, made one decision and the next followed — now I look back and realize, oh! That course, that life change, that pain, resulted in this magic,” he added.
We’re told the actress and the wellness guru met through mutual friends.
“Jen has a very small group of trusted – and extremely protective – friends,” a Hollywood insider told us. “She lives in kind of a bubble, and Jim’s been hanging out with them for a while now.”
Curtis — who describes himself as a “wellness pioneer,” “coach” and “a master hypnotist” — has a teenage son and is divorced. He’s been open about his rocky past relationships.
“I wish I had a better relationship with my son, but he lives with his mother most of the time, and he’s pissed at me,” he wrote in his 2017 book, “The Stimulati Experience.”
Aniston was previously married to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. She hasn’t publicly dated anyone since her 2018 split from Theroux after two and half years of marriage.

‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Ends in Tears After Susie Evans’ Surprise Arrival Causes Chaos

NEED TO KNOW
- The second episode of Bachelor in Paradise season 10 sent shockwaves through the cast as Susie Evans made a surprise arrival
- Her entrance came as Lexi Young grew concerned that Justin Glaze was not fully over his breakup with Susie
- New episodes of Bachelor in Paradise air Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC
Even paradise has its storms.
On the July 14 episode of Bachelor in Paradise, Lexi Young decided to put a pause on her relationship with Justin Glaze due to concerns that he was too fresh out of his breakup four months prior. While he insisted that he only wanted to pursue her and prove that he was “serious,” they were surprised by a new arrival — his ex Susie Evans.
“I wouldn’t call it spiraling, but I wasn’t expecting that,” Lexi said of her reaction. “Now I’m stressing.”

Revealing the pair hadn’t seen each other since the time of their split, Justin pulled Susie for a conversation.
“I’ve just been in my head since I got here,” he explained. “I feel like seeing you, it’s a lot to process. It’s hard.”
Admitting that it was “overwhelming” to be face-to-face with Justin again, Susie began to cry.
“It’s hard to be here with him, but at the same time, it’s kind of comforting because I’ve never had anything like what Justin and I had,” she told cameras.
Later in the episode, Susie sat down with Lexi to assure her that she had no intentions of rekindling things with Justin.
After their discussion, Lexi revealed she was finally ready to continue exploring the connection.
“An entire weight was lifted off my shoulders,” she said. “And so I just really wanted to reassure him tonight and let him know that I am still in this, and I do still care.”
As she opened up to Justin about feeling more comfortable in their dynamic after talking to Susie, Lexi asked that they move forward together.
“If something comes up with that and you’re feeling a type of way, I just ask, if you’re having feelings about it, I don’t want you to think you can’t talk to me,” she noted, and Justin agreed.
“I do want to take Lexi for her word and trust her, because I am really interested in her,” he added in his confessional. “It will suck for me if things revert back to the anxious, retreating Lexi. I don’t want that. So I’m really hoping that she means everything that she said tonight, and I want to see if this can go somewhere.”
Moments later, Justin went to check in on Susie, who had gone on a date with Jeremy Simon.
While she said it went well, she also shared her fears that she didn’t have as much time as his other connection, Bailey, to earn his rose that night.
“I feel guilty because I feel like a main reason why this experience has been better for me is because of you,” Justin told Susie. “You have given me so much. You are always the one giving, right, and you’re always the one that’s getting the short end of the stick. And it’s f—— tough, you know? I don’t want to think back to me and you on my sofa, and we pinky promised to protect each other and make sure we’re good.”
“That means a lot,” she replied. “But I think that’s the truth is, before we ever dated we wanted to protect each other, and we had a friendship before anything.”

Justin left the conversation feeling “terrible” that Susie might go home and made a surprising decision.
When Jeremy gave his rose to Bailey at the rose ceremony, Justin gave his to Susie instead of Lexi.
“You mean the world to me,” he said. “I told you no matter what, I would protect you and have your back. You deserve it.”
Susie, however, tearfully declined: “I can’t accept the rose.”
Meanwhile, Lexi was processing her fear coming true. “I’ve just had this gut feeling the entire time that this would happen, but I decided to give it a shot because I had genuine feelings,” she admitted.
After thanking Justin for the gesture, Susie went back to the other women and held Lexi’s hand.
“I’m freaking out because I just don’t understand what’s going on,” she explained. “I feel like he was trying to sacrifice his position for me to stay and meet people next week. It just should have been, Justin gives his rose to Lexi, and I go home. Like, it’s fine.”
Suddenly, Justin walked out of the ceremony, leaving the rest of the cast in shock.
“I’m so sorry,” Susie told Lexi as the episode came to an end. “I’m gonna go talk to him because I know he’s just trying to do the right thing.”
