Drake wants to spread the love, and he’s challenging his fans to do the same. The new video for the rap star’s single, “God’s Plan,” announces up front that Drake gave away the $996,631 budget to film the clip. He’s been giving away money in Miami lately, including a $50,000 scholarship to a University of Miami student. The video shows him surprising other Miami residents with wads of cash and going into a supermarket and announcing to customers that everything they want to buy is on him. Drake said Saturday on Instagram that he wanted fans to do something to bring joy to someone and to tag him with the details. He said he wants people to be nice to one another, even if only for 24 hours.
Black Panther has burst onto the screen in Africa, handing a powerful response to remarks about the continent by President Donald Trump. As the red carpet in South Africa swirled with stunning outfits and exclamations in the local isiXhosa language used in the film’s Wakanda kingdom, cast member John Kani laughed at the U.S. president’s reported comments, which several African nations have openly scorned. The South African actor Kani, like many at Friday night’s Johannesburg premiere, expressed pride at seeing an Afrofuturistic society that celebrates traditional cultures and dreams of what the world’s second most-populous continent can be. “This time the sun now is shining on Africa,” he said. “This movie came at the right time. We’re struggling to find leaders that are exemplary and role models … so when you see the Black Panther as a young boy and he takes off that mask you think, ‘Oh my God, he looks like me. He is African and I am African. Now we can look up to some person who is African.’” Added actress Danai Gurira, who grew up mostly in Zimbabwe: “To bring this film home is everything.”
