Young Money’s Drake could not avoid his connection to the Kardashian-Jenner celebrity family this past weekend after being spotted with Kendall Jenner in London.

According to reports, Drizzy and various other high-profile hip-hop artists hooked up with Jenner following a Wireless Festival bill.

After headlining the Wireless Festival on Sunday, the rapper headed over to Chinawhite nightclub where he DJ’d and picked up the tab for fellow performer Kid Ink and 30 friends. Sources say the group included several famous Jenner pals — Gigi Hadid, Joe Jonas, Rita Ora, and racers Lewis Hamilton and Tommy Hill. We’re told they tore through at least 25 bottles of booze — including champagne, vodka, tequila, and cognac and Drake took care of the bill … which came out to $15,000, plus an additional $1,000 for tip.

Presented as part of a new Sprite beverage campaign, a new The FADER-produced documentary features Drizzy talking about how he deals with critics.

“I’m not worried about these other rappers. I’m not competing with those guys. I already know their hand, I know their move — I study everything. I’m worried about the kid that’s sitting in his house who wants to be better than me and all those other guys. That’s who I’m worried about. That’s how I try to keep pushing us forward, just to let that kid know that I’m not done yet,” Drake says in the video. “We’re in a weird time. Life is almost this ongoing forum. People can get so lost in these words displayed on the screen. Everyone just wants to chat, and comment, crack jokes. Effort that’s put into doubt or hate – when it’s that extreme? It’s the same thing as love, man. They’re confused. It’s not me.” (Drake – Obey Your Thirst: Episode 1)

Drake also used the clip to dish on the importance of his Canada hometown.

“Toronto is the reason I do this. All I did was find a way to make people proud of our city. Artists from our city – their whole objective was to get out. So I just had to flip that way of thinking,” he says. “All these guys that are like, you gotta go to new york now to make it happen. No you don’t. That’s dead now. Do it the way the Weeknd did it, do the way PartyNextDoor did it, do it they way I did it. Do it where you’re at. If you have the music, that’s all it takes.” (Drake – Obey Your Thirst: Episode 1)

Along with Drake, hip-hop icons Nas and Rakim are a part of the Sprite campaign.

The first edition of the Sprite “Obey your Verse” Lyrical Collection features inspirational lyrics from rap superstars Drake, Nas, The Notorious B.I.G. and Rakim. The artists were selected based on their reputation for being true to themselves through their music and advancing the culture. (Business Wire)
