*Reps for Drake have confirmed that he has absolutely nothing to do with a new unauthorized documentary about his rise to stardom. [Watch the trailer above.]

“Neither Drake nor anyone from Rap-A-Lot Records, YEMG or OVO has any association with director MarQuis Trill and have not approved of or authorized his documentary,” the rep told Billboard regarding the film “Toronto to Houston.”

 

The documentary, produced by Rap-A-Lot, has no solid release date at press time. MarQuis’ caption under the trailer gave a brief backstory about the film as a few words of inspiration to up and coming artists. “People always ask ‘How did you get started?’ Well one way was filming @Champagnepapi in Houston, Tx. Every concert, event, club, or appearance that happened in H-Town, I was there,” it reads

In other Drizzy news, some new NBA-themed tattoos may have joined his skin portraits of Sade and Lil Wayne.

In a recent Instagram post, fans noticed new ink on Drake that appears to be the jersey numbers of NBA players Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, who are longtime friends of the rapper.

ESPN editor Jovan Buha shared photos Drake recently posted on social media where one of his tattoos says “30 Gifted,” while the other reads “35 Snipe,” possibly referencing Durant’s former Instagram handle “easymoneysniper.” In the photo, Drake is on a basketball court, clad in LeBron James‘ high school basketball jersey.

Drake has long expressed his respect for both players. In the rapper’s 2014 song “0 to 100,” Drizzy gave a shout out to Curry saying, “This shit a mothafuckin’ lay up/ I been Steph Curry with the shot/ Been cookin’ with the sauce, Chef Curry with the pot, boy.” He later referenced the Golden State Warriors point guard on his Views cut “Still Here” where he rapped, “Hittin’ like that 30 on my jersey, man, I’m gifted.” Back in April, a video surfaced of Drake eating eggs with the Curry family and he even showed up to support Ayesha Curry at her restaurant International Smoke.

As for Durant, Drake rocked his Golden State Warriors jersey at the Oakland, CA stop of his 2016 Summer Sixteen Tour following the former MVP’s departure from the Oklahoma City Thunder. The “Passionfruit” rapper also brought out Durant during his tour stop, introducing the former OKC player as his “brother.”

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON

New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.

The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.

Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.

Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.

Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.

Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.

While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.

CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.

The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
