“OVO, that’s major sh*t,” Drake rapped on French Montana’s summer anthem, “Pop That”…and it looks like he wasn’t playing! The Canadian import’s record label, October’s Very Own (aka OVO), has officially inked a deal with a major label: Warner Bros. Records! This is also where Rick Ross houses his MMG imprint, despite the fact Ross himself is signed to Def Jam. The same can be said for Drake, who’s signed to Universal under the YMCMB umbrella. More details will be released tomorrow about the new deal. Congrats! Marisa Mendez

(Photos) Diddy Courts The Weeknd Around Miami
While out in Miami for Memorial Day Weekend, new sensation The Weeknd stopped by Diddy’s mansion (Cassie was there too, of course), fueling rumors of a potential XO x Bad Boy signing. However, Drizzy tells MTV that an official deal with his OVO imprint is “being worked out”, so it seems as though they were just simply kickin’ it. I’m sure Diddy wouldn’t mind making him a Bad Boy, though. More pics in the gallery below. Marisa Mendez
