Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Rumours of a Drake and Future collaboration have been rumbling for a while now, and might finally be coming into a fruition.

The evidence:

1. OVO artist OB Brien posted this artwork on his Instagram then swiftly deleted it - it depicts an OVO owl, soaked in purple on top of the Beast Mode heart (too obvious though?)

2. In-the-know radio DJ Charlemagne recently appeared to quickly hush a co-host when she blabbed about the mixtape.

Charlamagne: Lets see if he feels about that in a couple of months

Angela Yee: What, when Drake and Future?…..

Charlamagne: Shut up Yee, Jesus Christ

3. She then tweeted about it, only drawing more attention to the possibility of the release.

4. Several industry people seem to think its coming out today.

All looks good, but don’t hold your breath, we’re STILL waiting on that Frank Ocean album after all.

Piggybacking off Drake would be huge for Future, given the incredible success of Drake’s last mixtape, If You’re Hearing This It’s Too Late.

A new album from Drake has also been on the cards for a while, called Views from the 6, though it seems to have gone quiet on that front of late.
