CLB SZN

Ah yes, the smell of Tuscan Leather-scented toxic masculinity in the air courtesy of Drake’s star-studded opus “Certified Lover Boy” that delivered a fresh batch of messy Instagram captions while stirring up hilarious hysteria across social media.

The forever-awaited album features Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Giveon, Future, Ty Dolla $ign, Young Thug, 21 Savage, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, Project Pat, Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, Tems, and Masego sprinkled across 21 carefully curated tracks.

There’s also guest drive-bys by Nicki Minaj on “Papi’s Home” and PartyNextDoor on “Get Along Better” because of course.

In a very accurate description on Apple Music, Drake calls CLB is “a combination of toxic masculinity and acceptance of truth which is inevitably heartbreaking,” while dedicating it to the late Nadia Ntuli and Mercedes Morr.

For this rollout, the benevolent 6 God gave away free merchandise at Wedding Chapels in Los Angeles, Vegas, and Atlanta. Aside from that, he’s also been posting quotable lyrics on billboards across the United States and Canada proving, once again, that he’s King of shareable (and remixable) viral content.

At this point, it’s clear Drake is still the hottest in the game with enough clout to get away with having pregnant emoji women on his album cover.

He’s also the most confident he’s ever been based on not-very-subtle shots fired at Swizz Beatz and Kanye (who recently posted and deleted his address in their ongoing beef).

What’s your fave song on the album (so far)? Tell us down below and peep the funniest, wildest and messiest CLB reactions on the flip.

“Drake dropping CLB reminded me of how I dropped you. I wasn’t social distancing, I was distancing myself from you socially cuz I wasn’t certified for your love then but I am now. I know this album is making you think of me too. Say hi to your mom for me. You don’t have to respond” – wowwwww

“Listening to this Drake album reminded me of how I did you wrong and I just want to say you still deserve it. Greet your sister for me and tell her to hit me up, I always liked her more than you” – messyyyyy

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
