Drake Partners With Sotheby’s to Curate Art Exhibit

Drake will be curating the soundtrack for the upcoming Sotheby’s S2 Gallery in New York City. The New York Times reports Drizzy's contribution will be selecting the music to preview some of the art by artists including Rashid Johnson, Nick Cave, Glenn Ligon, Kara Walker, Wangechi Mutu and Jean-Michel Basquiat.  Once the exhibition opens, visitors will have the opportunity to hear his selections on listening stations.The expo will showcase the work of contemporary Black American artists from April 28 through June 12. Drake reportedly won't get paid for the gig. Sotheby, who call Drake one of today’s “foremost cultural tastemakers,” hope he will bolster its private sales business.

In not-so-happy news, Drake is currently facing a new lawsuit from the distributor behind the concert film Homecoming: The Lost Footage for libel and other charges after he tweeted comments disavowing the movie. SpectiCast claims Drizzy is violating an agreement established back in 2009. According to the film's producers, Drake agreed to receive $15,000 at the time of filming and 15 percent of footage was ever used. They say that his insistence that the film is "unauthorized" violates this agreement, which was established with Serious Entertainment. Homecoming premiered for a one-night showing last night (March 19).

2015 OVO Fest lineup is out. J. Cole plus his Dreamville artists Bass, Cozz and Omen will be joined by Big Sean, YG and Jeremih as performers. Kevin Hart will also have a day. Check out the lineup here.
