Drake fan invites rapper to 16th birthday bash using giant billboard
A diehard Drake fan has turned to creative measures in an attempt to grab the rapper's attention to invite him to her sweet 16th birthday bash. "Drake, you're invited to my Sweet 16. Your biggest fan, Miya," the 15-year-old wrote on the huge billboard invitation displayed above a Texas highway, along with the details of the party in December. "I love his music. … I love his style," Miya told Fox 26 Houston. "He’s really inspiring. I brought it up to my mom. I was like, ‘I want him to be a part of my big day and my sweet 16'.” It comes after the 37-year-old star revealed he bought a home in Houston during the second night of his It's All a Blur tour. "I had to make it official first," Drake, who has referenced Houston several times in his songs, told fans. "I been looking for a long time trying to figure out the right place to live where I belong outside of Toronto. Finally, after all these years, I found me a place in Houston, Texas. So, y'all gon' be seeing me around." It appears as though the 'Hotline Bling' rapper purchased an entire ranch in Texas, according to a video he shared last month. "Me and my partna’ we done gone country on y'all mane," he's heard saying in the clip using a fake country accent. "We said we was going to do it for a lot of years—we doing it today. The sale is made." He went on to hint that the property came with 10 horses. "People need a nice place for their horse to stay," he added.

Kids on Roblox are organising their own pro-Palestine protests in the game
Children have begun organising their own pro-Palestine protests in Roblox, in the wake of the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. Twitter/X user @funnecfox shared on Monday that their fifteen-year-old cousin "couldn't join a protest so she just went to one on on Roblox." And she is one of hundreds of children protesting in virtual worlds to supplement the fact that they cannot attend protests in real life. Responding to the original announcement of such protests, another user replied with a video showing hundreds of Roblox avatars marching with Palestinian flag with signs saying "Solidarity Untukmu Palestine" ("Solidarity for you Palestine"). On TikTok, user @devotedly.yours shared footage of children in Malaysia protesting on the platform. @devotedly.yours Kids in Malaysia are protesting on Roblox for a free Palestine ??#palestine Many adults and young people have been expressing their love and support for the children finding ways to demand a free Palestine. "Kids who can't go out and protest irl are protesting on Roblox and this literally tough me to tears and gave me so much hope", wrote one user: "The kids of today have more grit and compassion than many adults I know", wrote another: Many asked why children can show compassion and understanding but many adults in power are struggling to do so: One user also shared that this isn't the first time children have used online spaces to show support for political and humanitarian issues. "The first time I heard about Palestine was when I was in middle school [because] there was a protest on Stardom (a dressup game site), so there is very real educational merit to these as silly as it may sound."
