Rihanna and Drake brought their chemistry to the Young Money rapper’s newest music video ‘Take Care’ while his fellow label mistress Nicki Minaj dropped ‘Beez In The Trap’.

‘Take Care’ is a sleek black and white video with images showcasing the awesomeness of nature. Director Yoann Lemoine revealed his inspiration;

“It pays tribute to nature. When I listened to the track, I was seeing a landscape … involving animals and massive landscapes. It’s not narrative at all, it involves animals.

Lemoine also played on the chemistry of the duo who had a brief relationship years ago,  “They seemed to be super close and that’s what I wanted for the video.”

Watch Rihanna and Drake’s Take Care music video:

In stark contrast is Nicki Minaj in all her hip hop glory, fanning herself with hundred dollar bills, a few scantily clad strippers, more than a few curse words and an upcoming raper, 2 Chainz, hoping to glom on to the Barbie rapper.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
