Nelly drops a new video in support of his latest mixtape O.M.E.O. The St. Louis rapper gets assists from Atlanta MC's T.I. and 2 Chainz.
Drake has made no secret that he's a huge fan of late singer Aaliyah. He sampled her song
"At Your Best (You Are Love)," for the track "Unforgettable" that appears on his debut album Thank Me Later.
Last year the Toronto rapper penned a letter to the singer via Rap Radar expressing his love for her.
Dear Dana,
I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed. Not only was I one of your biggest fans but I was truly in love with you. I loved the way you carried yourself, the way you dressed, the confidence with which you addressed passion and relationships in your music. I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you. I am pained that we will never get to connect now that music ended up being my career path. But you should know, we all listen to you everyday and we remain inspired and moved by all that you’ve given the world. I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. I’ll continue to make music in your honor until the day we finally meet. Dinner’s on me!
Love you always and forever,
Drake
This year Drizzy has taken his affection for Aaliyah a step further by getting a tattoo of her face on his back. He released the picture Christmas Day, which shows him shirtless after playing tennis. The Aaliyah tat appears to have wings above it.

The tattoo artist Drake threatened to "f*ck up" if he ever sees him is up for the challenge.
As we previously reported, Kevin Campbell of L.A.'s Will Rise tattoo shop got Drake's attention when he tatted the rapper's name across a woman's forehead, then referred to Drake as "soft" and a "goofnugget r&b dude."
Drake responded angrily in an interview with Mando Fresco of Los Angeles’ Power 106 radio station.
“The guy who tatted is a f*cking a**hole though, I will tell you that," Drake said. "I don’t f*ck with that guy. F*ck you to that tat artist by the way. And you should lose your job and should never do tattoos again and I don’t f*ck with you. And if I ever see you, I’ma f*ck you up.”
Campbell, who has been battling Drake fans on Twitter, refuses to acknowledge Drake is a rapper. He continues to call him an r&b singer. Campbell says he's ready to scrap with Drizzy, as long as the fight is one on one.
"Please say that Drake actually wants to f*ck me up. I will totally fight Drake. One on one. Tell him to name a time and place," Campbell wrote on Twitter. "Can anybody confirm that this Drake guy actually wants to fight? Too funny! A dude who probably wipes his a** with 100$ bills actually cares about me calling him an R&B goofnugget is hilarious. I didn't know who he was before I did the tattoo...Don't see why he cares that I said he was soft as baby sh*t. Really though. This Drake sh*t is the funniest sh*t ever. Getting called out by a famous R&B dude wasn't on my bucket list, but I'm stoked."
This is kind of a lose/lose situation for Drake. He threatens to physically hurt the tattoo artist, probably not expecting the guy to respond, but now that he has what will Drake do?

Two of the biggest superstars in music have teamed up to record a song together.
50 Cent and Chris Brown have collaborated on a DJ Felli Fel produced track titled "Lighters" that will appear on 50's upcoming fifth studio album.
“I just did 50 Cent’s new record with Chris Brown,” Felli Fel revealed to Rap-Up.com. “It was supposed to be my record. I produced it, me and Chris wrote it. He sings the hook and did a verse as well.”
The DJ from Los Angeles radio station Power 106 said getting 50 and Chris on the same record was a priority for him.
“I meticulously put these two together because I realized they never did a record together and I found that odd,” explained Felli. “50 loved the record and the next day I get a call from [50’s manager] Chris Lighty saying, ’50 wants the record.’ I was kinda torn because it was one of those bittersweet things. I knew what we had with this record. It’s probably going to be the biggest record I’ve ever done.”
50's not-yet-titled album is due out in early 2012 on Interscope Records.
