Drake

Getty Drake might wanna reconsider the hatred he reportedly had for his 'Degrassi' character being in a wheelchair -- because lots of kids in wheelchairs actually felt validated thanks to his portrayal. Madeline Robinson , executive director of Wheelchair 4 Kids, tells TMZ ... she hopes the rapper knows his role as Jimmy Brooks on 'Degrassi' really helped a lot of young people. She says he actually made them kind of cool and, though he might not have known it, he instilled confidence and made their lives a little better. Robinson says Drake's character brought much-needed representation. Everett Collection She explains ... kids in wheelchairs are often left out of things like getting invited to birthday parties or movies. She asked, "When was the last time you went to a mall and saw a kid in a wheelchair hanging out with other kids?" Sadly, she says it's rare.

TMZ.com 12:29 PM PT -- Ye just got a plug from none other than his estranged wife, Kim, with her posting screenshots of her seemingly listening to the new album herself ... but she might've flubbed the presentation. @kimkardashian / Instagram KK threw up a few screenshots of what appear to be her fave tracks from "Donda," including the titular track, "Come to Life," "Lord I Need You," "Hurricane," and "Ok Ok Pt 2." The problem that people quickly noticed ... she's got the volume all the way down in four out of five of those screengrabs -- which suggests she's got 'em on mute, and isn't really listening. @kimkardashian / Instagram All the songs except for 'CTL' appear to be playing without any sound ... which some find kinda hilarious. Now, of course, Kim HAS listened to the music -- she's been to all the listening events, and probably knows the tracklist frontward and backward. As for why her volume is all the way down in …

The Bangles’ Susanna Hoffs has tapped Aimee Mann for a new cover of Badfinger ’s “Name of the Game.” The track will appear on Hoffs’ upcoming covers album, Bright Lights , out November 12th via Baroque Folk Records. Where Badfinger’s 1971 original is a potent power-pop ballad, Hoffs imbues her rendition of “Name of the Game” with a tender sway and even a bit of country twang in the guitars. Hoffs and Mann largely trade off verses, but there are plenty of pristine harmonies, especially when they belt the hook, “Oh don’t refuse me/If you choose me you’ll follow my shame/No, don’t confuse me/For I know it’s the name of the game.” Hoffs tells Rolling Stone in an email that she first discovered Badfinger when she was a kid and heard the group’s Paul McCartney-penned tune “Come and Get It” in the 1969 film, The Magic Christian . She subsequently fell in love with the group’s big radio hits — “No Matter What,” “Baby Blue,” and “Day After Day” among them — but it wasn’t until …

TMZ/Alamy Adele is walking back her harsh rejection of her homeland's most beloved cartoon swine, Peppa Pig, saying she's definitely down to collab with her ... after an on-air confrontation. If ya missed it ... during the "Easy on Me" singer's very first IG Live last weekend, she answered a fan's question about working with Peppa with a very blunt "NOOOO!" So, Peppa called in during Adele's interview Friday on the "Capital Breakfast" show and called her out ... saying it made her really sad to be rejected and asked, "Don't you like me?" But, all's well in the world of Peppa and Adele fans now, because the singer admits she immediately felt terrible about her response and "anytime you wanna go jumping in muddy puddles and singing in muddy puddles, I'm with ya babes." With that beef quickly squashed, Peppa's free to return to trolling other artists about their album reviews -- like Kanye -- and throw her full support behind Adele's …

Chart-topping rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again is asking a federal judge to spring him from jail while he awaits trial on federal gun charges — but prosecutors are attacking his intricate pitch to live near a “mentor” in Utah under house arrest with private guards. The Louisiana-bred hip hop prodigy who’s spent the last six months in custody appeared in a federal courtroom in Baton Rouge on Monday and Tuesday as his lawyers pleaded for his release on bond with plenty of strings attached. They said their client would submit to house arrest at his residence in Layton, Utah, and pay a private security firm staffed with ex-military to enforce his home detention. They also brought in a woman named Kyrie Oliver who testified that she met YoungBoy while working at a Baton Rouge school and struck up a mentoring relationship with him. Oliver told the court that if it granted YoungBoy release to house arrest in Utah, she would assist in keeping an eye on him. In a new motion …
