Drake Takes Pic With Glam Beanie & Pouty Selfie Becomes Instant Meme

Drake dropped two new Instagram photos late Friday night, a glittery selfie and a full-body mirror shot and within minutes, the internet turned it into a roast session.

Wearing a rhinestone-covered cream beanie, a plush fur coat and loose khaki pants, Drake posed with a straight face and a downward camera angle that some users said looked more like a fragrance ad audition than a fashion flex.

The comments came in fast, with people comparing the beanie to a DIY holiday ornament or something from the “special occasion” section at Michaels.

His facial expression, a mix of pout and intensity, also drew attention. One user wrote he looked like he was “practicing his serious face in the mirror,” while another said he resembled someone “trying to remember if they left the stove on.”

“Bro survived Kendrick, ankle monitors, UMG lawsuits, and a Canadian winter with that haircut… only to hit us with the most depressed duck face known to man,” one fan said.

Drake and his Instagram pictures have long been a source of light-hearted commentary. When he debuted a heart-shaped haircut in 2021, social media quickly turned it into a meme factory, comparing it to Valentine’s Day clip art.

In October, his puffy curls sparked more jokes, with users saying he looked ready to headline a 2000s R&B video. And his red leather outfit paired with chrome nails became a multi-day meme marathon, with people calling him “expressive,” “experimental” and “committed to the aesthetic, whatever it is.”

These new photos follow the same pattern:

Drake posts something he clearly enjoys and the internet riffs on it with humor that feels more playful than cruel.

Kylie Jenner Provides Feast For Your Eyes In Skimpy Black Dress

Kylie Jenner knows exactly what her fans want, and she’s serving it up on a silver platter – literally and figuratively.

The reality star and beauty mogul dropped some serious heat on Instagram Friday, blessing her followers with photos that had everyone doing double takes. Rocking a black dress that left little to the imagination, Kylie Jenner posted a series of shots that showcased her curves in all the right ways.

The see-through mesh panels on the stomach gave just enough peek at her toned abs, while the top portion made sure nobody was looking anywhere else. The golden hour lighting hit different in these pics, creating that perfect Instagram glow.

Kylie worked every angle, giving her 400 million followers an eye-watering treat over the holidays. The timing of these posts isn’t coincidental either. Right after Thanksgiving, when everyone’s in a food coma, Kylie decides to serve up visual dessert.

But here’s the thing – this black dress moment was just the latest in what’s becoming a pattern of Kylie keeping her fans well-fed with content. Just days before this post, she had the internet going crazy with a silver bikini carousel that broke the internet.

We’re talking about metallic swimwear that caught the light like liquid mercury, paired with some shower shots that had people zooming in for… research purposes.

What Happened To Game & DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz?

So… we need to talk. Something in the Hip-Hop is off!

A few days back, The Game sat in an interview beaming. He said he locked in with DJ Drama and knocked out a full Gangsta Grillz project in 48 hours – from scratch. It was a moment in that moment. Instant victory lap.

The Game: News, Rumors & More

He bragged that he cut 60 songs in one weekend, picking the top 19 for the “tape.” Drama was talking and the streets were waiting! The OGs were truly taking the game back and The Game was instantly a part of that. But it is now Sunday.

Where is it the project?
What happened?
Why does this feel like a ghost project?

READ ALSO: The Game Recorded A Gangsta Grillz In 48 Hours?!

Because this Gangsta Grillz has not shown up at all, not even a song. Well, there’s some song that keeps showing up on my Spotify, but it is not a part of the album. There is nothing! I am thinking this may have gotten picked up by an actually major label or something. I am not sure, but nobody is asking these questions. So, here I am. I told you The Game is one of our favorites.

So that’s the part that stings. This wasn’t just “another project.” This was supposed to be a moment! The Bi-Polar Bear is back! A seasoned vet linking with the king of mixtapes (of the day)! The Game hyped us all up! 60 songs and we don’t get one? I want to shed a tear.

So…what went wrong with the Black Friday release?

Was it politics?
Was it clearance issues?
Did Drama have too much on his plate?
Did The Game move too fast?
Was there chaos behind the scenes?

The Game can rap. We need more rappers. DJ Drama is the hype beast-type DJ for the culture – in a good way. The ball has not been dropped, but we need some answers!

Now we’re all watching to see if the real story ever comes out. Or the real album comes out.
Hip-Hop wants answers.

I wrote all that to hear the album is now slated for a December 5 release. Stay tuned!

‘He was badly behaved with the bartenders’: Austin man blasts Gabriela’s on Facebook. Then the owner posts receipts

The owner of an Austin restaurant addresses a complaint video posted by an unhappy customer on Facebook. Not only are his complaints invalid, she said, but she has the receipts to prove it.

TikTok creator Gabriela Bucio (@gabriela.atx) is a restaurateur based in Austin, Texas. In a video posted on Nov. 17, she addressed an incident at her restaurant Gabriela’s South. 

First, Bucio said that the customer, who she refers to as “Mr. Roger,” and his party arrived at the restaurant an hour past their 7:15 p.m. reservation. Still, the staff recognized that this was a party of regulars and they accommodated them anyway.

Why Did This Gabriela’s South Customer Post to Facebook?

Apparently, the courtesy wasn’t appreciated by Roger, who is known as Roger El Versache on Facebook, because Bucio said he repaid the kindness by complaining about the menu, the size of the cocktails, and how the food was prepared, even though Bucio said the menu clearly labeled everything.

The story didn’t end there. Bucio also accuses the customer of mistreating her bartending staff. And then he posted a video detailing his complaints to Facebook.

“Unfortunately, he was rude to our female staff, behavior we do not tolerate and even in his video he made inappropriate and disrespectful comments about them,” she wrote in the video’s caption. “We wish him well and hope he finds a place that better suits his preferences.”

Additionally, Bucio posted screenshots of Facebook messages she said she received from other people in the party who saw the video and wanted to clarify that the entire party didn’t share Roger’s opinion.

In another Facebook post, Roger addressed the screenshots by saying there was obviously a “Judas” at the dinner table. In comments, he also claimed that no one in the party told him directly that he’d crossed a line or asked him to take the video down.

Viewers React to the Gabriela’s South Facebook Dust-Up

In the comments section, viewers discussed the man’s complaint video and Bucio’s response.

“Some people don’t have better things to do with their time,” wrote one person. “Gabriela’s South is my go-to spot as soon as I’m in Austin.”

A second viewer said, “I like how calmly you addressed this issue. It goes to show how professional and well-educated you are, Gaby. God bless you and your businesses always.”

Bucio replied, “We tried leaving him a comment and reaching out to him, but something I’ve learned is to never argue with people on their territory.”

However, some commenters validated at least part of Roger’s complaints. “I don’t know, girl,” wrote one person. “I’ve been to Gabriela’s South and the staff be catching attitude all the time. And they be taking a while to greet us at our table. One time I had the waiter say she forgot and we waited 30 minutes to get water. I do love y’alls drinks though.”

Bucio responded, “And a serious complaint is valid. My video was a reply to his complaints about us not having a reservation and the menu not pointing out the prices of the happy hour. I always take complaints seriously and there are always managers [on-site].”

A Reddit post to r/AustinFood four years ago features customers discussing the pros and cons of Gabriela’s South. One person wrote, “The food is good, the service is hit or miss, and the music is MUCH too loud during normal eating hours.” A second person said, “Gabriela (the owner) is great. My family loves her style.”

All Hip Hop contacted Roger El Versache via Instagram direct message for comment. We also reached out to Bucio via TikTok direct messages for comment. 

@gabriela.atx

Mr. Roger did not have a reservation at Gabriela’s South because the party’s reservation was at 7:15 PM and they arrived more than an hour late. Even then, we gladly accommodated the entire group because they always dine with us, and everyone enjoyed their time except for him. Unfortunately, he was rude to our female staff, behavior we do not tolerate and even in his video he made inappropriate and disrespectful comments about them. We wish him well and hope he finds a place that better suits his preferences.
