Drizzy Drake has announced the 41 dates across the North American map of his
"Would You Like A Tour" arena tour.
The tour will be in support of his 3rd album
Nothing Was The Same, bringing on two other hot names in music, R&B singer
Miguel and
Future.
(Now THAT sounds like a dope tour!)
Trekking cities like Chicago, Philly, New Orleans, Phoenix, Vegas, and of course Drake's home place Canada (Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg), the tour is set to kick off in Portland, Oregon on September 25th and will end right around the holidays on November 25th in LA.
In further news for the Toronto rapper, he graces the cover of
GQ magazine for the second time since his first on the April 2012 issue. Drake is featured on the cover of the men's fashion magazine's July issue, looking 'rapper chic', in which he discusses the new album and some of the ill misconceptions that constantly try to dog him.
Welp! There isn't much dogging to do
besides that DaDa fit as Drizzy kicks off the article with a brain refresher of once telling us all he would be "25 sittin' on 25 mill". Now at 26, with a net worth of an estimated cool $30mil, it's no wonder Drake does not mind the critics and haters, he welcomes them.
During the interview with GQ mag, Drake discussed his hopes for one day he and
Chris Brown being able to diffuse their differences with a peaceful conversation. Of course Drake's calm and some-what sensitive demeanor would want for such a thing to happen, however he expresses the reality of the sit down "not ever going to happen."
While the two remain unsettled amongst each other, Drake wishes to overcome the feud saying how he doesn't want his name "to be synonymous with that guy's name."
(Well can ya blame him?!)
Well there you have it...

Michael Paterniti into his San Fernando Valley home to discuss several topics in the new July issue of GQ magazine on shelves now!
Meanwhile, here's a taste of a few touched topics from the article:
On other rappers hating on him:
“You notice they don’t criticize the music itself, though…I’m okay with that.”
On being (sort of) abstinent:
“You know the way fighters don’t fuck before the fight? Sometimes I feel like I’m so focused on training my body and getting my mind right to create this album that sex isn’t one of my main priorities. If someone is around that I know and trust, I’m down. But I’m not going to end up with some stranger at this party.”
On Chris Brown drama:
“I hear he has everything he could want now. I don’t want my name to be synonymous with that guy’s name. I really don’t. I wish we could sit down just like you and me are right now, and talk it out man-to-man. But that’s not going to happen. I’m not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I’m not going to back down. If I think about it too much, I feel it wrapping around my foot, like I get a feeling it could end really badly…Like, it gets really dark.”
