The Handmaid's Tale has definitely been one of the most stand-out series of the year so far.

The TV adaptation of the book under the same name blew us away from start to finish, and many believe it relates to issues women face today (the book was first published in 1985).

Well, the author of The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood, recently spoke to The Boston Review, and in between discussing the rise of Donald Trump and speculative fiction, another conversation came about.

If you don't know already, Margaret is from Canada. And while being interviewed with fellow author Junot Díaz, he pointed out that along with Margaret, the other great person to come out of Canada recently is Drake.

Yep, the rapper Drake.

Junot began by saying, "I just think that, Canada– I’ll say this to the whole nation – you are missing a great opportunity to put these two folks together. Have you listened to his music? Do you have any opinions?"

To which Margaret replied, "Wouldn’t it be fun for him to have a cameo in season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale?"

She continued, "I’ll drop that notion into the ear of Bruce Miller, the showrunner, and see what he can do with that, because of course the show is filmed in Toronto. Maybe Drake could help smuggle someone?"

OK, yes! How awesome would it be if Drake popped up and helped the revolution?!

Drake was the big winner at the 2017 Billboard Music awards in Las Vegas last night.

The Canadian star took home an incredible 13 trophies, setting a new record for the most awards claimed by one artist. The record was previously held by Adele who went home with 12 prizes in 2012.

The rapper walked away with a host of coveted titles including, Best Artist, Best Male Artist and Best Rapper.

The top artist award was presented to the One Dance singer by Prince Michael Jackson, the son of the late singer.

Upon accepting the award, Drake tipped his hat to Adele saying, "I just want to say hold tight Adele because when a new thing drops you will crawl your way back to get the record back."

Other highlights of the night included a live performance from Cher who took to the stage in a diamond clad ensemble for an energetic rendition of hit singles Believe and If I Could Turn Back Time.  

Another throwback moment saw Celine Dion give a powerful performance of her classic hit My Heart Will Go On which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. (Yes, that also means it’s been 20 years since Jack and Rose broke our hearts, and we’re still not over it.)

There’s was a moment of silence for Audioslave and Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, who sadly passed away last week at the age of 52.

Miley Cyrus, John Legend, The Chainsmokers and Lorde also performed on the night.

Drake has caused uproar on Instagram today after he took aim at a private residential community and country club by accusing them of 'racial profiling'.

The Hotline Bling singer shared the establishment's logo on his private account and insisted that his stay there during Coachella festivities had been far from harmonious.

Drake, who appeared as a secret guest of Future's during his Coachella slot on Saturday, shared his thoughts on The Madison Club earlier today, and ultimately stirred up one hell of a publicity storm in the process.

"The most offensive place I have ever stayed at in my life with staff who pick and choose who they are going to accommodate based on racial profiling," he wrote in the post which has amassed more than 200,000 likes in just eight hours.

Whether it was Drake's intention or not, The Madison Club has been inundated with scathing remarks and reviews from Drake fans ever since the singer's comments began circulating earlier today.

Responding to the post, one Instagram user wrote: "Welp.There goes their establishment lmfao."

The Madison Club has, however, yet to respond to the star's accusations.

Rihanna and Drake were probably the most on-again/off-again couple of 2016.

However, things didn't seem to end well for them, and they went their separate ways at the end of last year.

And if these videos are anything to go by, it looks like they're still not on great terms.

The unexpected venue of the run-in was a kid's birthday party and while Rihanna played with the kids in the ball pit, Drake had other things on his mind.

His zipper. Yep, he just sat in the corner and tried to zip up his hoodie even though it was already zipped.

Oh, Drake.

We just want these two to be best buds again.

The Weeknd absolutely slayed at his gig in London's O2 Arena last night.

Belting out tunes like I Can't Feel My Face and Starboy, the singer decided he wanted a bit of company on stage. 

Much to the delight of fans, The Weeknd's pal Drake joined him for a few songs.

The pair laughed and embraced as the crowd went wild after seeing the addition of Drake to the show. 

They performed a medley of songs together, including Fake Love, Energy and Jumpman.

Fans were quick to take to Twitter to share videos of their performance, which they completely rocked. 

The Weeknd has been announced as the Saturday headliner at Longitude festival, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that he brings his buddy Drake along for a dual performance. 

Imagine if he did!

When you're performing in front of thousands of people, one thing you do not want to do is embarrass yourself.

Unfortunately, Travis Scott made a big balls of his performance with Drake last night when he fell down a hole in the stage.

The rapper appeared on London with the Canadian superstar, and while the accident is admittedly funny, we still feel a tad sorry for him.

He came out unscathed though, and didn't suffer any injuries from his on-stage fall down.

Have a look at the clip, it's hard not to laugh… the poor lad:

It looks like the Grammy Awards are going to have a hard time even getting their nominees to the door this year!

According to recent reports, a few A-list celebrities are going to boycott the awards ceremony on February 12.

TMZ is reporting that Justin Bieber, Kanye West and Drake have no intentions to go to the awards show, and they all actually plan on being somewhere else on the day.

A source told the website that Justin believes the Grammys just aren't "relevant" anymore.

"He just doesn't think the Grammys are relevant or representative, especially when it comes to young singers.

"There's no real anger, it's just that a lot of younger singers think the Grammys are out of touch and arguably irrelevant," they added.

Since New Years (or even before that), the question has been on everyone's lips – are Drake and J Lo a thing?

They seemed mighty cosy over the festive period, dancing and heading out for dinner together.

But, now Jennifer has confirmed that she's making music with Drake, which makes us think… was the dancing and flirtation all for show?

Because let's be honest – it looked pretty hot and heavy.

The pair have collaborated on an upcoming song together, but Jen has hinted that there could be more, telling Entertainment Tonight: "He just asked me to do a song with him and that’s what we’ve been doing. We’ll see if it’s on his next album.”

So far, it's unclear if the collab will pop up on Drake's upcoming tour, or if it'll be featured on a different project.

Either way, we'll be keeping our eyes on these two.

If anyone knows how to get people talking about their love life, it's Drake.

From public declarations of devotion (oh hey, Rihanna) to social media postings, the rapper can send his fandom into a tailspin with little to no effort.

Case in point: Drake's most recent Instagram upload.

Appearing to confirm rumours that he is currently dating 47-year-old Jennifer Lopez, the singer shared a snap of the pair looking pretty cosy.

And not everyone is impressed.

Despite racking up more than a half a million likes in just two hours, Drake has been inundated with sarky remarks from his fans and followers.

"You'll never find a girl like Rihanna," wrote one while another added: "Weirdest couple ever."

"They both hoes! Drake and JLo have literally been with mad ppl. Drake is a nasty dirty hoe and so is JLo," remarked another.

Oh, and if anyone is interested, Rihanna unfollowed JLo on social media in recent days…

It's all kicking off now, ladies.

Drake isn't like other rappers.

Unlike the rest of the crew, Drake wears his heart on his sleeve and doesn't care who knows it.

And if he's scared or creeped out, he's not going to try hide it if yesterday's upload to YouTube is anything to go by.

While appearing on David Blaine's Beyond Magic, Drake looked like he needed a right ol' sit-down for himself when the world-famous magician began doing what he does best  – messing with people's minds.

Mouthing 'I don't like it' over and over, Drake made his feelings for David's act pretty clear, and after you watch it, you'll probably see why.

*Grabs sick bucket*

After Drake's public declaration of love earlier this year, we would have liked to assume that Rihanna and Drake were still on relatively good terms despite their break-up, but it looks like we were way off.

According to emerging reports, Rihanna has been busy advising a fellow singer to steer clear of the Hotline Bling singer unless she wants her heart broken.

After Taylor Swift and Drake were spotted getting super-cosy at the latter's 30th birthday bash, Rihanna felt it was her duty to warn Taylor against getting involved with her former bae.

According to an insider, Rihanna thinks Drake would happily break Taylor's heart and move on, saying: "Taylor doesn’t stand a chance with Drake."

"She ain’t got nothing Drake wants and she certainly doesn’t want the type of headaches and drama he’s capable of giving a woman."

Speaking exclusively to HollywoodLife, the insider revealed that Rihanna is certain Taylor has no idea what she'd be letting herself in for.

"Taylor’s known for writing songs after her bitter break-ups with her exes and if she got a dose of the games Drake plays, she’d be writing songs about it until she turns 100," the source continued.

"Drake’s a deadly spider and Taylor can mess around and get bit if she wants to.”

Between this and recent Twitter fall-out, it's definitely not a good week for Drake.

When it comes to rap, there's no doubting that Drake is definitely the good boy of the scene.

But that doesn't mean the singer doesn't put a foot wrong from time to time as Twitter users are keen to remind the public.

Calling the Canadian star out on his attitude to mental health issues, music fans have accused Rihanna's ex of belittling Kid Cudi who is currently being treated for depression and suicidal ideation.

It seems Kid Cudi fans have been on high alert ever since the star called Drake and Kanye out on their lack of interest, tweeting: "My tweets apply to who they apply. Ye, Drake, whoever. These n*ggas don't gie a f*ck about me. And they aint f*ckin with me."

Taking issue with Drake's lyrics in Two Birds, One Stone which they feel is aimed at Kid Cudi, fans of the Erase Me singer have taken to social media in their droves to slam Drake.

Responding to Drake's lyrics which read: "You stay xanned and perked up so when reality set in you don’t gotta face it", Kid Cudi fans didn't hold back.

"Kid Cudi disses Drake's talent and Drake's only comeback is to insult Cudi's health and not musical abilities…" wrote one.

"Kid Cudi is struggling with depression / is getting help but Drake makes a diss track mocking him for his depression… Drake is trash for that."

"Drake dodges lyrical rappers but disses a depressed suicidal Kid Cudi that's in rehab, Drake is a clown," added another.

Surely Drake is going to have to respond to this backlash?
