Drake and his OVO Sound compadre PartyNextDoor are putting Kendrick Lamar‘s Halftime Show shots at them in their rearview mirror … as they they try to respond to that huge moment in the culture.

Drake and Party unveiled the album cover art Tuesday for their new joint project, “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U,” which drops, appropriately, on Friday … Valentine’s Day.

The album cover sets the mood featuring 2 models in fur coats braving the Toronto tundra, and Drake has been teasing some of the songs down in Australia during his “Anita Max Wynn” tour.

tWitch’s mom and brother are pretty shaken up … sharing how blindsided they are by the allegations made by his widow, Allison Holker.

Connie Boss Alexander opened up in a tell-all with Gayle King, explaining how Allison called to accuse someone in the family of selling a story to a magazine — and had them sign an NDA. So, it left them totally shocked when she released her memoir about her life with tWitch and his death.

Connie also shot down Allison’s claim that tWitch had hinted at being sexually abused by a male figure in his journals, calling it completely unfounded.

A restaurant belonging to C.J. Gardner-Johnson‘s mom was bombarded by an onslaught of negative reviews on Monday … a short time after the Philadelphia Eagles star took a jab at Travis Kelce‘s relationship with Taylor Swift.

The CJGJ barb came in the hours following Philly’s dismantling of Kansas City, 40-22, in Super Bowl LIX. The defensive back shared a photo of him in front of the tight end during the big game, and captioned it, “Should’ve Stayed w that thick s****” — an apparent reference to Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole.

Seems a bunch of Swifties and others in the Chiefs Kingdom didn’t care much for the swipe — as it looked like many of them raced to leave bad reviews on King’s Grill’s page.

The Rockledge, Fl. eatery — which is owned by Gardner-Johnson’s mother, Delatron Johnson — was repeatedly called horrible … and slapped with dozens of 1-star remarks.

The avalanche of reviews actually triggered an “Unusual Activity Alert” on the restaurant’s Yelp page, and comments have temporarily been disabled. Google, meanwhile, has appeared to have removed all of the recent reviews left on its page.
