Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Soulja Boy is claiming he has another first to add to his rapper résumé. After seeing Drake drop a trio of albums on Friday (May 15), Big Draco claimed he was actually the first to do it after releasing three mixtapes on the same day on Halloween in 2009.

“I was the first rapper to drop three projects in the same day. Btw,” he wrote to X on Sunday (May 17).

The “Crank That” rapper drew backlash as fans poked fun at not remembering anything from the trio of 2009 mixtapes.

An X Community Note fact-checked Soulja Boy, explaining that Gucci Mane actually dropped three projects two weeks prior to him in celebration of 1017 Day. The trilogy of mixtapes came courtesy of Guwop’s Cold War series.

Drake and Soulja Boy’s relationship dates back to the early portion of both of their careers, as they also collaborated on “We Made It” in 2014. Big Draco admitted he enjoys trolling Drizzy in an interview with Nick Cannon earlier this year.

“I just think it’s funnier ‘cause it’s like you stole my s–t, so now I can just troll you,” he said. “I think he was trying to shout me out. But it’s like, man, you did too much.”

As a pioneer of the internet infiltrating rap in the later aughts, Soulja Boy’s claims tie back to his frustrations with Drake interpolating his “What’s Hannenin” track on 2010’s “Miss Me” featuring Lil Wayne, which landed on his Thank Me Later debut. Big Draco famously went off on Drake about this during his 2018 interview with The Breakfast Club.

Drake made his return on Friday (May 15) with three new album. Iceman serves as the rap-heavy main attraction, which was joined by surprise projects Habibti and Maid of Honour.

Ariana Grande‘s lead Petal single is days away from blooming, with the pop star giving fans their first taste of “Hate That I Made You Love Me” with a teaser posted on Monday (May 18).

Paired with a black-and-white visual piecing together words from the song’s title and photographs of Grande, the ethereal clip sounds almost like falling drops of water, but pitched and processed to sound both musical and off-putting. The teaser does not feature any audible vocals or lyrics from the song.

The snippet comes about 11 days ahead of the release of “Hate That I Made You Love Me” on May 29. The track will be one of 12 on Petal, Grande’s eighth studio album coming July 31.

The Wicked actress coproduced “Hate That I Made You Love Me” with Max Martin and ILYA. When she first announced the track, she called it “one of my favorite songs I’ll ever write.”

Though the entirety of Petal won’t arrive until most of the way through Grande’s fast-approaching Eternal Sunshine Tour, the lead single will drop with plenty of time before the Grammy winner’s first trek in six years kicks off on June 6. She has 41 shows total planned for the outing, which will also feature stops in Los Angeles, New York City, Montreal, Chicago and more North American cities before wrapping with 10 shows at the O2 Arena in London.

Check out Grande’s new teaser for “Hate That I Made You Love Me” below.

Donald Trump’s White House is getting in on Iceman season. While Drake operates north of the border, the Trump administration posted a TikTok on Saturday (May 16) crowning President Trump as the Iceman.

The clip is soundtracked by the outro to Drizzy’s “Make Them Know,” which also finds various reporters shouting out “Iceman” and features Trump walking down a snowy red carpet, fresh out of a chopper. “Iceman baby, freeze the world,” the vocals repeat.

It all ties back to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is also known as ICE. Portions of the clip showcase ICE agents in action, tracking down various individuals. It’s seemingly trying to add the president to the list of those nicknamed Iceman, which includes NBA great George Gervin, Drake and Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.

OVO fans flocked to the comment section. “Drake literally dissed yall in the album omg,” one person wrote. Another added: “Whole government is a joke!” Others implored Drake to launch another lawsuit.

Billboard has reached out to Drake’s team for comment.

This wasn’t the only social media post made by the White House inspired by Drake’s Iceman album, which arrived Friday (May 15). The Trump Administration posted a MAGA version of Drizzy’s Iceman artwork, except that edition finds the sparkling Michael Jackson glove holding a diamond-encrusted MAGA chain pendant. The post drew heavy backlash from Drake fans in the White House’s comment section.

It wasn’t a surprising move by the White House, which has made a habit of capitalizing on popular music and incorporating hits into its social media posts. In the past, artists such as Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo have slammed the administration for using their music to support clips of ICE’s practices.

The 6 God returned on Friday with a trio of new albums, as Iceman was joined by shorter efforts Habibti and Maid of Honour. Iceman serves as Drake’s first solo LP since 2023’s For All the Dogs, and features Future, 21 Savage and Molly Santana.

Barbra Streisand has sent her regrets about attending the Closing Ceremony of the 79th Festival de Cannes on Saturday (May 23), where she is being honored. The global star suffered a knee injury that has made the trip from her Malibu, Calif., home to France inadvisable.

“On the advice of my doctors, as I continue recovering from a knee injury, I am sadly unable to attend the Festival de Cannes this year,” Streisand said in a statement. “But I am deeply honored to receive the Honorary Palme d’Or and had so been looking forward to celebrating the remarkable films of the 79th edition. I was also very much looking forward to spending time with colleagues whom I so admire – and, of course, returning to France, a place I have always loved. While I regret that I can’t be there in person, I want to extend my warmest congratulations to all of the filmmakers from around the world whose extraordinary talent and creative vision are being celebrated this year. My heartfelt thanks to the festival, and to everyone who continues to support and champion the art of cinema.”

Despite the disappointing news, The Festival de Cannes plans to proceed with the tribute to celebrate Streisand. The singer-actress is one of three people to receive an Honorary Palme d’Or this year, along with filmmaker Peter Jackson, best known for his work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and actor John Travolta, a two-time Oscar nominee for best actor.

Streisand, the ultimate multihyphenate (actress, director, producer, screenwriter, singer and songwriter) has long been a major star in France. Her 1966 album, Je m’appelle Barbra, was largely sung in French. It reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200. She has received two prestigious awards from the French government: Officer of the Legion of Honor (Légion d’honneur) and Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters (Ordre des Arts et des Lettres).

The Cannes Film Festival kicked off on May 12 and runs through May 23. The awards ceremony at the Grand Théâtre Lumière, hosted by actress Eye Haïdara, will be broadcast live on France Télévisions from the Palais des Festivals on Saturday, May 23, at 8:15 p.m.

“Unfortunately, the festival has just been informed that Ms. Barbra Streisand will be unable to attend the ceremony at the Grand Théâtre Lumière in Cannes,” the festival said in a statement.  “Iris Knobloch, Thierry Frémaux and the entire Festival team send Barbra Streisand their warmest wishes for a prompt recovery.”

“This year, we were keen to pay tribute to an artist who made her mark through the power of her art and her uncompromising pursuit of freedom,” Cannes festival president Iris Knobloch said in a statement when announcing Streisand’s honor in March. “As a woman, I am delighted to be able to express our admiration for this consummate creator and courageous citizen, whose example stands the test of time and continues to inspire.”

“A global star, Barbra Streisand is above all an artist, initiating projects that reflect who she is, that are her own and that she shares with the whole world,” said Cannes festival director Thierry Frémaux in a statement. “She is the legendary synthesis between Broadway and Hollywood, between the music hall stage and the big screen. Hearing her sing and seeing her perform are part of our best years.”
