Drake releases “No Face” on streaming platforms without Playboi Carti’s verse.
The second wave of Drake’s 100 GIGS content is following the pattern set by its predecessor, releasing songs on Instagram before making them available on streaming platforms gradually. However, Drake’s new tracks have faced significant changes during this rollout, with streaming not always being the cause. For instance, the CDQ version of “Supersoak (SOD)” that surfaced on the @plottttwistttttt Instagram account no longer features Lil Yachty, unlike the original leak. Similarly, the recent track “No Face,” which dropped on streaming services on August 31, now excludes Playboi Carti. Fans are puzzled by Carti’s removal, as there seems to be no clear reason for the change.

The former Miss South Africa contestant, Chidimma Adetshina has been crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2024. Adetshina, who had to withdraw from the Miss South Africa competition, triumphed over 24 other contestants. Born in Soweto, she faced significant opposition and xenophobic backlash during the Miss South Africa pageant, largely due to her Nigerian-Mozambican heritage. Despite reaching the final 16, she was criticized and pressured to step down by South African officials, including Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture, Gaston McKenzie. Adetshina, representing Taraba State, won the Miss Universe Nigeria title on Saturday and will now compete on the global stage in Mexico this November.
