L.A. Leakers Rewind: Feb 20th – Feb 26th

What a week! From Rihanna to Kanye to Daniel? Yeah, we’re “back at it again with the” LA Leakers Rewind!

DAMN, DANIEL

Once again the Internet has proven it could make anyone an overnight celebrity.

Daniel Lara and Joshua Holz, two high school sophomores from Riverside Polytechnic High School in California, are the most recent Internet sensations.

Holz posted a series of videos of Lara in different outfits that literally consist of Joshua repeatedly saying, “Damn, Daniel,” as he pans the camera up and down.

Another notable quote from the video is “back at it again with the white vans,” which I’m sure has delighted shoe company, Vans.

The two were invited to be on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where they were showered with gifts including a lifetime supply of you guessed it, white Vans.

The original video has been viewed over 45-million times. “Damn, Daniel.”

Since music is what we do it for, you know we had to add a music angle to this story. Check out this mix of the “Damn, Daniel” videos:

DAMN, RIHANNA

Daniel wasn’t the only one that had everyone saying “damn” this week. Bad Gal RiRi showed why she refers to herself as “bad.”

This week she released a video for her hit-single, “Work,” which showcases Rih’s twerking talents and shows her seductively dancing on Drake.

The video is reminiscent of the “What’s My Name” video, where you can feel the sexual tension between her and Drizzy.

Drake’s a brave man for wearing sweats in that ting.

KANYE EXERCISES HIS TWITTER FINGERS

We know how much Kanye loves Kanye but lately he’s been showing how much he loves Twitter, and how he utilizes it to voice his opinions, make announcements and vent.

This week he had the Twittersphere buzzing with excitement as he made two pretty major announcements.

On one of his tweets he said he’s dropping another album this summer and also mentioned that he spoke to ADIDAS about giving everyone a “free” pair of Yeezys.

He then vented about the GRAMMYs being “out of touch” and “the people” needing to see Young Thug and Future at the award show.

In the midst of the venting he referred to himself as, “the most important living artist.

Stay humble, ‘Ye. Stay Humble.

YO GOTTI DROPS

Memphis rapper, Yo Gotti released his fifth studio album titled, ‘The Art of Hustle’ this week.

Gotti dropped the first single off the album, “Down In the DM” last year and it has proved to be pretty successful both in the clubs, and on the Billboard charts.

“Down In the DM” is Gotti’s first song to hit top 10 on any Billboard chart.

The Tennessee native spent most of the week on a promo tour hitting many radio stations across the country and also hit Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform “Down In the DM” with Travis Barker.

The deluxe version of the album has features from: Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Future, 2 Chainz, E-40, Pusha T and more. It is available on iTunes.

DRAKE SIGNS NEW DEAL

Drake was in the UK for the Brit Awards where he came out and performed, “Work” with Rihanna.

It turned out that was just a footnote for the 6 God in the UK, as he allegedly signed a deal with fellow rapper and close friend, Skepta’s label, BBK (Boy Better Know).

There aren’t any specific details about the deal or the terms of the contract, but Drizzy made it official as he posted it on his Instagram.
