Drake Upset About Wrong Music Used At Girlfriend Serena’s Fashion Show
Serena seems ok at her show.
After being blamed on social media for Serena Williams’ US Open defeat, Drake caused more drama at her HSN Signa- ture Statement New York Fashion Week show by having heated words with the DJ over the music.
Sitting front-row with Anna Wintour at Williams’ show Tuesday, Drake seemed more concerned with the show’s soundtrack, which used his songs, including “Back to Back,” which played during the finale.
Following the show, Drake first went backstage to congrat- ulate Williams, where he was seen kissing her hand. Then, “All of a sudden he came bust- ing out from the backstage into the runway area and ap- proached the DJ. “There was
an animated discussion and Drake was upset,” the witness continued. ”The DJ kept rais- ing his arms as if to say, ‘It was- n’t my fault.’”
We hear Drake was upset because the wrong music mix was played during the show. Sources said the version of his “Back to Back” was supposed to be a clean edit, but the cut mistakenly played was packed with curse words and went out live to HSN viewers. Even worse, “They didn’t want Anna Wintour to be horrified sit- ting there with curse words playing.
“I played the mix I was given,” and “This is what they gave me,” the noticeably rattled DJ was heard pleading with fuming Drake before the rap- per stormed off.
Williams and Drake have been spending more time to- gether since the Open spawned the hashtag #BlameDrake.

The incident came while Salt- N-Pepa were on stage enter- taining the crowd at 90s Fest, which took place in Brooklyn. As Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” blared, Pepa de- cided to jump between speakers at the front edge of the stage.

Diddy’s Girl Group Members Claim He Left Them Broke
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Working with Sean "Diddy" Combs left some ex-members of Danity Kane feeling damaged. Aubrey O'Day, 31, and Shannon Bex, 35, sat down with "The Breakfast Club," where they called out the record producer for walking away with their hard earned cash and leaving them with debt.
If you remember the 5-girl group were chosen during a reality show contest starring Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. After the group was chosen, the group had a short-lived reality show about their rise to fame. O’Day was always the prob- lem child of the group.
Aubrey O’Day and Shannon Bex were guest on ‘The Break- fast Club’ recently.
When asked why they didn't make any money during their Danity Kane days, the pair agreed that the rap mogul was to blame."We were signed to Diddy," Bex told the host. "We have two platinum al- bums, let alone grossed over a million dollars on Christina Aguilera's "Back to Basics" tour," O'Day adds. "We came off the tour $15 thousand in debt and grossed millions." "Thanks Diddy," Bex contin- ued. The pair explained they are now working independ- ently on their current album instead of going through a major label.
