Drake is the latest celebrity to join Michael Rubin‘s All In Challenge after being challenged by Tom Brady. In a video shot at his Toronto mansion, the rapper said that the winner will get to fly on his Virgil Abloh-designed private jet dubbed Air Drake.

FANS REACT TO MICHAEL CHE’S MOVE TO PAY RENT IN HONOR OF GRANDMOTHER – (04/17/2020)
Saturday Night Live star Michael Che is paying tribute to his late grandmother Martha, who recently died of the coronavirus. He shared his decision to pay one month’s rent for 160 people living in his grandmother’s public housing complex in NYC.
He wrote: “It’s crazy to me that residents of public housing are still expected to pay their rent when so many New Yorkers can’t even work. Obviously I can’t offer much help by myself. But in the spirit and memory of my late grandmother, I’m paying one month’s rent for all 160 apartments in the NYCHA building she lived in. I know that’s just a drop in the bucket so I really hope the city has a better plan for debt forgiveness for all the people in public housing, at the very least.”
Fans were impressed, especially considering he lacks the budget many Hollywood heavyweights have. One wrote: “The man just paid what amounts to a 6 figure yearly salary to cover the rent for a bunch of strangers. The guy is on SNL, he doesn’t exactly have George Clooney money!” Another opined, “I’m so sorry he lost his grandmother. He’s doing a wonderful thing in her name. A good man.”

CHADWICK BOSEMAN SPARKS CONCERN AFTER PHOTO SHOWING WEIGHT LOSS – (04/17/2020)
Fans are concerned about Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman after seeing images of him online. Boseman popped up on social media to promote Operation 42, a $4.2 million fundraiser for personal protective equipment. The PPE is destined for hospitals that cater to African-American communities hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
The name, as many noted, is a reference to his role as Robinson in the 2013 film 42. And as thrilled as many were to see the fundraiser, many also pointed out his thinner frame.
“I hope your [sic] okay, your appearance has changed,” one follower wrote.
“Dude, I’m all in for this, but please reassure your fan base about your health ’cause even I am starting to be kinda worried,” wrote another.
TBD if the weight loss is for a role. He is slated to appear in the TV series The Black Child and Black Panther II.
