The Toronto-born rapper posted a screenshot of his private messages with Singh on Sunday, where he appeared to call the politician 'a goof.' Drake calls former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh a Goof for going to Kendrick Lamar's show in Toronto Later in the day, Singh apologized for attending the concert in an Instagram story and explained he had gone to watch opener SZA perform, not Lamar. 'For me, it'll always be Drake over Kendrick,' Singh wrote in a public apology. 'I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it,' Singh wrote. 'I shouldn't have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted this city and [Canada]. For me, it'll always be Drake over Kendrick.' Lamar stepped onto Drake's home turf on Thursday, playing his first of two concerts at the Rogers Centre since the rift between the music superstars intensified last year. He performed some of his hits including 'Humble' and 'All the Stars' alongside SZA, but also played 'Not Like Us,' one of the most inflammatory diss tracks in his feud with Drake. The song has led to a legal battle between Drake and the U.S. record label that represents both men. Drake is suing Universal Music Group for defamation for publishing and promoting 'Not Like Us.' In legal documents, he said the song's lyrics wrongly accuse him of being a pedophile, jeopardizing his safety and damaging his reputation. None of the allegations has been proven in court.

Man accused of abusing women in Glasgow and Hamilton
Dominic Humble, 27, faces an indictment listing a total of 14 charges spanning between June 2015 and August 2023. The accusations feature a total of five women. The alleged offences are said to have occurred mainly at addresses in Glasgow's East End and in Hamilton, Lanarkshire. Amongst the charges are that he raped one of the women and separately engaged in conduct which left her fearful of his actions.

It is also said he caused the woman to be sanctioned with "anti-social behaviour warnings". Prosecutors also claim he spun a child - known to her - on a roundabout "at speed" causing the youngster to be injured after falling off. It is alleged Humble was jealous and controlling with a second woman amid an accusation that he also choked her. The indictment states he harassed a third on social media and repeatedly demanded money. Humble is further accused of being violent to another woman including claims that he slapped and punched her, forced her to sleep on the floor, hit her with a bottle and other household items.

Miley Cyrus Bangerz Era, Hip-Hop Comments Divide Fans
In 2017, Miley Cyrus released her sixth studio album Younger Now, which was described by Pitchfork as a bold 'statement of reinvention' following her infamous Bangerz era. When Miley released her self-described 'dirty south hip-hop' album Bangerz* in 2013, she embraced a very provocative persona, boldly cutting her hair off, singing about topics like recreational drug use, and, of course, twerking on Robin Thicke at the VMAs. After a few years, Miley's public image totally shifted. She grew out her hair, rekindled her relationship with Liam Hemsworth*, and started penning songs about inoffensive topics. Enter: Younger Now. While she was promoting the 2017 album, Miley memorably made critical remarks of hip-hop — the same genre that had influenced Bangerz. She told Billboard, 'I also love that new Kendrick [Lamar] song ['Humble']: 'Show me somethin' natural like ass with some stretch marks.' I love that because it's not, 'Come sit on my dick, suck on my cock.' I can't listen to that anymore. That's what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much, 'Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my cock' — I am so not that.' Fast forward to today, and Miley has reflected further on her relationship with hip-hop. During a recent appearance on the Every Single Album podcast, Miley was asked if she was 'playing a character' during her Bangerz era. She replied, 'I really did what I wanted to do…It was marketed not just by me, but just by the way that the press perceived it, as this is like some rebellious thing…That to me, that's a strategy, and I, that's not really what I do.' Then, when asked if she had 'fallen in love' with hip-hop, Miley said, 'Yes, because all my friends, that's all we listened to,' adding, 'It's not a genre, it's a statement.' 'For me, hip-hop at the time was my soul. [Those were] the concerts that I was sneaking out to go to. That was the thing that my parents wouldn't let me listen to, you know,' she went on. 'I wasn't unique in the fact that I was a white girl listening to hip-hop,' she said before quipping, 'Like, just go look at a fucking Coachella set list.' Miley was later asked if she had 'any different perspective' on her relationship with hip-hop now, and whether or not she felt differently about inserting herself into that world because she spent a lot of time listening to the genre. She replied, 'I wasn't just listening like a regular person with headphones on to Juicy J, I was friends with Juicy J, actually. So like, I don't know what to say. Like, I was actually smoking fat fucking wax bowls with Wiz Khalifa. Like, I'm not faking!' Reacting to Miley's comments, several fans were left pretty disappointed that she avoided taking 'accountability' for her 'cultural appropriation.' 'she didn't want to be a Disney star anymore. she wanted to be edgy. She benefited from the 'lifestyle' then rejected it when it no longer suited her image. And yes, people change their tastes as they grow older, but she should at least be able to acknowledge all of this after all these years with a few less 'likes' and excuses,' someone said, while another person wrote: 'Every time I think she's going to make a point it doesn't happen. Girl.' Let me know what you think below. You can find Miley's full interview here.

SIMPLY SOLVENTLESS FILES 2024 ANNUAL FINANCIALS AND PROVIDES UPDATES ON TIMING OF FILING Q1 2025 FINANCIALS AND MANAGEMENT CEASE TRADE ORDER
/Not for distribution to U.S. news wire services or for dissemination in the United States./ CALGARY, AB, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ – Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd. (TSXV: HASH) ('SSC') announces that it has filed its annual audited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 ('Annual Financials') on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at SSC also announces that due to delays incurred with filing these annual financial statements, the Company anticipates filing its first quarter results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 on or before June 20, 2025 pursuant to an extension from the Alberta Securities Commission (the 'ASC'), the Company's principal regulator, of its previously announced management cease trade order ('MCTO') under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders ('NP 12-203') initially approved on May 5, 2025, and subsequently updated by SSC through press releases issued on April 30, 2025, May 14, 2025, and May 20, 2025. 2024 Highlights SSC achieved major milestones during 2024, including: SSC completed three acquisitions, including 1) the Lamplighter brand, 2) licenced producer CannMart Inc., and 3) leading preroll co-manufacturer ANC Inc. These three acquisitions buttressed SSC's infrastructure significantly, which is now comprised of strong extraction, formulation, prerolling, and cultivation abilities, providing a solid foundation for future growth. SSC closed two over subscribed non-brokered financings for total gross proceeds of $4.7 million, and $7.8 million was raised from the exercise of warrants. SSC significantly strengthened its team, which is now comprised of talented professionals across all disciplines. SSC's ability to attract top talent is stronger now than ever. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, SSC closed the acquisition of Delta 9 Bio-Tech and re-branded the operation to Humble Grow Co. ('Humble'), a licensed producer operating a 100,000 square foot cultivation facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and concurrently closed a non-brokered $6.0 million over subscribed convertible debenture offering. The acquisition of Humble vertically integrated SSC's operations upstream to include cultivation in a market where the demand for cannabis flower appears to be transitioning back into expansion mode. 2024 was a transformative year for SSC, and with a portfolio of assets providing manufacturing capability across the largest product categories, and the proven ability to close accretive acquisitions in a distressed market and industry, and to attract top talent, the Company is positioned for significant growth through 2025. 2024 Financial Highlights 2024 Gross Revenue: the Company generated gross revenue of $20,498,204 (2023 – $6,973,401), increase of 194% over the prior year. 2024 Net Revenue: the Company generated net revenue of $13,679,144 (2023 – $6,191,646), increase of 121% over the prior year. 2024 Gross Profit ($): the Company generated a gross profit of $1,181,189 (2023 – $3,497,279), a decrease of 66% over the prior year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA: the Company generated an adjusted EBITDA loss of $3,803,445 (2023 – $2,246,926), a decrease of 269% over prior period December 31, 2024 Working Capital: $1,626,131 (2023 – $3,693,879), a decrease of 56% over the prior year. SSC's gross revenue increased by approximately 194% from $7.0 million in 2023 to $20.5 million in 2024 due to its aggressive organic and acquisition based growth. During 2024, SSC's total assets increased 278% from $10.2 million at December 31, 2023 to $38.6 million at December 31, 2024. This increase in assets is primarily due to SSC closing several high-impact acquisitions during 2024. Subsequent to the year end, further substantial assets were added through the Humble acquisition that closed on February 28, 2025 (refer to Note 24 – Subsequent Events in the Annual Financial for further details.) Jeff Swainson, SSC's President & CEO stated: 'All things being equal, it is SSC's view that the non-cash changes to accounting treatment will positively impact future revenue, profitability, and cash flow. Gross margins remain strong, and the size and capability of our asset base improved significantly during 2024. We look forward to filing our Q1 2025 financial statements as soon as possible, and as we proceed through 2025, we are focused intently on maximizing cash flow from operations and on strengthening our balance sheet. We believe that SSC's positioning today is stronger than ever before, and that the continued execution of our highly impactful business plan is capable of delivering strong value to shareholders.' Q1 2025 Financials As announced on April 30, 2025, and further discussed in news releases dated May 14, 2025, and May 20, 2025, a MCTO was issued by the Company's principal regulator, the ASC on May 5, 2025 to accommodate additional time required to file the Company's Annual Financials. The ASC has approved a further extension of the MCTO to June 20, 2025 to provide the Company with adequate time to prepare the Q1, 2025 financial results due to the delays incurred in filing the Annual Financials. Pursuant to the MCTO, management of the Company may not trade in securities of the Company until such time as the Company files the March 31, 2025 financial statements and the MCTO is revoked. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders of the Company to trade in securities of the Company. The Company confirms that it will satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing biweekly default status reports in the form of news releases for so long as it remains in default of the above-noted filing requirements. The Company confirms that (a) there have been no failures by the Company to fulfill its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative reporting guidelines under NP 12-203; (b) there has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the default which is the subject of the default announcement; and (c) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
