Drake admits he and Nicki Minaj no longer speak
"I don't really talk to Nicki. [She's] another person I have a lot of love for, a lot of respect to her and the past and what we built. I understand what love is and I understand a personal situation. She dealt with me how I would expect her to—with class. I would do the same you know. There were times I was sitting there, waiting to see, you know, how deep is your love? I have respect for Nicki but unfortunately we haven't spoken."

Photo: Nigerian student arrested in Malaysia, 20kg drugs smuggled from China found hidden in air coolers.
The drugs, meant for distribution to the local addict population was found hidden in a portable air-conditioning unit at a house in Bukit Mahkota Cheras, to prevent detection by the authorities.Federal Police Narcotics Investigation Department deputy director, Datuk Pahlawan Mohd Dzuraidi Ibrahim said police had launched simultaneous raids in Bandar Mahkota Cheras, Selangor.
"We have arrested the 27-year-old man and seized 21 packets of drugs believed to be syabu," he told reporters at a press conference on Thursday.
"The drugs, weighing about 20.8kg, were stashed in a hidden compartment in the machines. Initial investigations revealed the suspect had brought the drug into the country from China, using a courier service company," Dzuraidi said police have not ruled out the possibility that the man was connected to a syndicate.
"The suspect had just started trafficking in drugs in Malaysia about nine months ago and we are still tracking down the remaining members of the syndicate. The drug can meet the demand of 35,000 addicts for a month," he said.
The Nigerian has been remanded under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 which carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar congratulated the STING team for the success, via his Twitter account.
"Congratulations again to STING@PDRM for capturing a Nigerian at Bukit Mahkota Cheras and seizing 20kg of syabu hidden in the air-conditioning unit. #GoPDRMGo," he said.

On Thursday, 28 April 2016 members of the South African Police Service’s Trans International Investigation Team and Crime Intelligence arrested the two customs officials and an employee of Air Namibia and a drug mule after the latter was allowed to pass through the airport with as much as 1,5 kilogrammes of cocaine worth nearly R425, 000,00.
Information at police’s disposal show that the two customs officials escorted the 29-year-old suspect to a hotel, where they were shortly joined by an Air Namibia employee who apparently came to collect the ejected drug bullets from the suspect’s body.
The alleged drug mule had landed a few hours earlier from Sao Paolo, Brazil, and was apparently in transit to Lagos, Nigeria.
The customs officers have been charged with defeating ends of justice while the drug mule and the airport employee will face drug dealing charges.
All of the four suspects are currently in custody pending their first court appearance on Tuesday.

Loud Whispers: AliBaba Explodes At The Muson as FCMB Lends Support
The play, according to Olisa Adibua, who doubles as its Producer has been in the making for the past two years after prompting from the highly respected Bolanle Austen Peters of Tera Kulture. The Book which is a compilation of a series of articles written by Edgar in his weekly column and published by Thisday Newspaper takes a lighthearted look at Nigeria and Nigerians, throwing barbs laced with humorous anecdotes while delivering acerbic punch lines to an increasingly satiated reading public.
“The play sees Ali deliver some of the 'sweetest' performances seen on a Nigerian Stage with his mesmerizing commentary on happenings within the Nigerian socio political arena, taking the audience through the ever present issues of fuel scarcity, political hobnobbing, and insecurity within the country and finally nestling with the seemingly intractable issue of the Chibok girls. Laced with spicy song and dance routines, the 40 man cast and crew are set to storm the stage with very powerful but lithe performances putting on display the very best of Nigerian craftsmanship, paying homage to our varied culture while still throwing up our challenges as a people and subsuming itself within the cacophony of multiple characterization in obedience to the traditions of Nigerian theatre.”, says veteran Director, William Benson.
FCMB has joined the list of important sponsors as anticipation builds. The play which will unfold in three shows on the 1st of May at the Iconic Agip Recital Hall of the Muson is co-sponsored by Zenith Bank, The Bank Of Industry, AIICO, Rain Oil, AXA Mansard and Wellness HMO. It is also supported by UBA Plc and Svengali.
This work is Executive Produced by Joseph Edgar and Co-Produced by versatile entertainment Impresario, Olisa Adibua, Shina Peller of Quilox and Mofoluwake Edgar and packaged by Katunga Media, a leading African Marketing Communication agency.
Tickets are available at Terra Kulture, Ice Cream Factory, Neo Café and online atAriiyaticket.com, Afriticket.com, Naijaticketshop.com & DealDey.com. You can call 0908 780 6927 for more enquiries.

Inmate gets in trouble for posting selfies in van on his way to jail
According to WEAR-TV, when they interviewed Holbrook and asked him why he posted those photos, he said he wanted to reassure his family that he was doing well, and posted three selfies with the captions, 'On the van,' 'Go hard all day', and 'Catch up' over the course of at least 20 minutes.
"We were just trying to have a good time in jail. We're already here, why be miserable?'Phones are considered contrabands and aren't allowed in jail or in the van transporting offenders to jail.
When Holbrook was asked about how he had access to the contraband, he said the cell phone was 'within reach'.
He said: 'It just happened...Lightning strikes trees, comets fall to earth, a guy in jail gets a cell phone sometimes. That's just the way this works.'
The spokesperson for the jail released a statement that reads in part:
'The Western Regional Jail and Correctional Facility authorities requires pat-downs of all individuals when they enter its custody as part of the agency's zero tolerance police against contraband.His friends responded by laughing at his ability to post while on his way to jail. Read some of the comments below...
'The incident in question remains under investigation. The device at issue was confiscated before the inmates entered the Western Regional Jail.'
