<p>How big of a battle rap fan is Drake? Last week, battle rap media personality Heavy Bag raved on his <a href="https://youtu.be/QylsUS61wSo?t=2158"><em>Restore Order</em> show</a> that the Toronto rapper once walked up to him backstage during a mid-2010s event and recognized him from the battle rap outlet he worked for—which is something only someone deeply in tune with the scene would know. </p>
<p>The battle rap world feels secluded from the mainstream rap industry a lot of the time, only getting the attention of the general public when rounds go viral—or when well-known entertainers like Drake, Eminem, Method Man, Joe Budden, Nick Cannon, and Cassidy break bread with the culture. This weekend, Drake <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/drake-will-appear-at-url-nome-xi-battle-rap-event-news.133466.html">will be at</a> URL’s <em>NOME XI</em>, rewarding the winner of the platform’s 16-person <em>Ultimate Madness 3</em> tournament with $100,000 out of his own funds. </p>
<p>Drake rarely appears at events these days, but his presence has been felt in various ways. In 2020, he <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8550774/drake-caffeine-battle-rap-streaming">partnered</a> with Twitch competitor Caffeine and signed a multi-year deal with URL to bring the league to streaming and help make it more accessible to fans. Live URL battle events have been the backbone of the app, as have the numerous shows hosted by URL battlers. Celebrity involvement in a fringe community can be harmful, but Drake has only helped battle rap leagues like URL and the Toronto-based KOTD (King of The Dot) thrive, which is a credit to him. </p>
<p>His support for battle rap has been public knowledge since 2009, when he told Nardwuar about Toronto rapper and journalist Mindbender <a href="https://youtu.be/X_Tf3Tw5bk0?t=466">being at KOTD events</a> (a rare instance of a Nardwuar <em>interviewee</em> dropping an obscure reference). Drake has <a href="https://www.villagevoice.com/music/qanda-drake-on-battle-rappers-a-ap-rocky-and-his-five-figure-bet-with-nelly-6638142#page-2">told <em>The Village Voice</em></a> that <em>Take Care</em> recording sessions were stirred by battlers like Hollow Da Don and The Saurus, noting, “It gets me excited in the studio, to watch these rappers, to see them rap for a whole different cause.”</p>
<p>In 2011, he struck up a formal relationship with the KOTD league, calling himself an “official King of The Dot representer,” co-hosting and funding events, and maybe almost battling at one? Since around 2015, though, he’s mainly dealt with KOTD rival URL, which is widely regarded as the biggest and best league, due to its lineage and amount of “homegrown” stars. </p>
<p>Here’s a timeline of Drake’s involvement with the battle rap culture, highlighting his most impactful contributions, from helping events happen to aiding battlers in their time of need.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;ve ever said to yourself, &#8220;Gee, I wonder what <a target="_self" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/kate-beckinsale" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kate Beckinsale</a>&#8216;s thoughts are in relation to marriage and living together,&#8221; then today&#8217;s your lucky day, because she laid out her two cents on that very subject in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a30145211/kate-beckinsale-wellness-interview/" rel="noopener noreferrer">a cover story for <em>Women&#8217;s Health</em></a>. </p>
<p>As Beckinsale sees it, couples who have exchanged vows would be better off if they weren&#8217;t living together under the same roof. Of course that particular quote came in a passage about how she craves alone time, but feel free to upend your current living arrangements accordingly. </p>
<p>“I think more people would do well married if they didn’t have to live in the same house,” the <em>Underworld</em> actress said. “Being married is kind of easy, but the living-with-the-person thing is a lot.”</p>
<p><em>Page Six </em>notes that she was married to director Len Wiseman from 2004 until 2016. “I also think that for women especially—and this is generalizing—but I think it’s common for us to mentally subjugate our needs to whoever else is in the room,&#8221; she added. &#8220;So if you’ve got a husband, a boyfriend, kids or parents, it’s so easy to come in with an idea of what you’d like to do, and then end up going, ‘Oh no, no, no, it’s fine.’ And it’s quite nice to not always have to negotiate that.”</p>
<section class="suitcase-ad"><span class="advertisement_text featured">POST CONTINUES BELOW</span></section>
<p>The interview also touched on other subjects you would expect such a journalistic endeavor to address, including how Beckinsale felt during her four-month relationship with <a target="_self" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/pete-davidson" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pete Davidson</a>, which was often talked about by the obnoxious subsection of the internet that gives a shit about such matters.</p>
<p>“If everyone’s shitting on you, it can make you kind of ugh for a minute—especially if there’s really nothing wrong,” she said. “If you’re strangling a squirrel or hurting someone, I get it, but living one’s life in a reasonably respectful manner shouldn’t invite anyone to get too excited.”</p>
<p>She also talked about not ingesting caffeine or alcohol—ever. And also about how <a target="_self" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/ben-affleck" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ben Affleck</a> had to get new teeth for a movie role.</p>
<p>You can read the whole thing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a30145211/kate-beckinsale-wellness-interview/" rel="noopener noreferrer">over at </a><em><a target="_blank" href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a30145211/kate-beckinsale-wellness-interview/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Women&#8217;s Health</a>.</em></p>
