Drake’s art and entertainment company, DreamCrew, has acquired all remnants of Luna Luna, an “art amusement park.” The company’s the “overall investment” in the art carnival is reportedly $100 million.

Drake himself issued a note following the grand investment. “It’s such a unique and special way to experience art. This is a big idea and opportunity that centers around what we love most: bringing people together.” Drake’s new investment comes on the heels of more good news for the rap star.
His joint album with 21 Savage, Her Loss recently debuted at number one on the charts over the weekend. It became the third-highest total for any album in 2022. As for the singles off the chart topping album, they currently hold the No. 2 through No. 9 spots on the Billboard Hot 100.
Despite the album’s success, it didn’t come without some controversy. Drake was accused of taking shots at Megan Thee Stallion, Serena Williams and Kanye West on Her Loss. Megan took to Twitter to respond to the alleged diss. “I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak ass conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol.”
