In an Instagram post, he said, “This next chapter may leave you feeling uneasy, but I hope you see my honesty as clarity not charity.” No word yet on what he’s hinting at—new music, beef with Kendrick Lamar, or maybe something else entirely. In the post, Drake reflected on his non-confrontational nature, saying he’s treated the rap game as a sport where his “pen won gold.” But now, he’s addressing the “unanswered texts” and teasing that something big is coming. The post included a photo of two Zofran tablets—a medication used to treat nausea and vomiting. Whether this is a reference to nerves or something deeper remains to be seen. Fans are speculating wildly, but for now, we’ll have to wait and see what Drake has up his sleeve.

Carlos Cardoso was assassinated in the Mozambican capital of Maputo in late November 2000 while investigating the theft of US$14 million from the Commercial Bank of Mozambique (BCM). Born in 1951 to a family of Portuguese exiles, Carlos Cardoso supported Mozambique's armed struggle for independence from Portugal, but as the years went by he became increasingly critical of FRELIMO government policies that mostly benefited wealthy businessmen and leading politicians. Eventually, Cardoso questioned the sudden wealth of FRELIMO government officials, charging that the size of Mozambique's legal economy (around US$4 billion at the time in a country of 19 million people) could not account for Maputo's banking and real estate boom. His investigative reports covered money laundering, drug trafficking, and other illegal financial activities of Maputo's political and business elites. This episode looks at the life and work of Carlos Cardoso, arguably considered by many as "Africa's most creative and fearless investigative journalist." The episode is part of the Africanist Press African History Series that aims to feature voices, institutions, and individuals engaged in the story of Africa's past and present development.
