RodeoHouston is playing coy about its 2019 concert lineup after a calendar featuring artists including Cardi B, Brooks & Dunn, and Los Tigres del Norte started to float around online.

The calendar, which is similar to the one the rodeo normally uses to announce its entertainers, appears to match the genre lineup the rodeo released on December 11.

But the rodeo is staying mum on the matter, tweeting on December 28: "Hmmmm, that's a mighty impressive lineup. But is it the real lineup? We'll have to wait until the Jan. 3 reveal to see!"

Drake may have had a couple bad weekends recently, but that didn’t stop him from blessing some lucky Houstonians this past Valentine’s Day weekend.

The Toronto rapper/singer-turned-Houston rancher surprised diners at both Juliet Steakhouse and Bungalow Downtown Dining on Valentine’s Day by treating the patrons to dinner. A video recently appeared on the Juliet’s Instagram stories showing two female employees approaching a dinner-party table full of ladies and letting them know that the Certified Lover Boy is hooking them up. Diners at Bungalow had a similar experience when members of Drake’s Angels told them the rapper was picking up their tabs.

Drake, who has hosted events at Juliet in the past, reached out to owner Jamie Allen to make it happen, according to a press release. In addition to the women in the video, other couples and singles in the eatery also got comped.

At Bungalow — part of Houston’s ALife Hospitality Group that also includes Kamp, FRNDS Restaurant & Lounge, and Stick Talk Cajun Hibachi — the total amounted to more than $10,000. The restaurant's marketing firm shared the moment on Instagram.

This surprise comes on the heels of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, the new album Drake released on Valentine’s Day. While most of the album consists of soulful bangers featuring him and fellow emo-R&B Canuck PARTYNEXTDOOR, he did address his neverending beef with LA rap god Kendrick Lamar on “Gimme a Hug.” The track has him doubling down on his party-boy lifestyle – “F— a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit,” he raps.

Earlier today, it was announced that Drake will be getting all lovey-dovey with London this summer. He’ll headline all three nights of the Wireless Festival, his first set of UK performances in six years, at Finsbury Park in London. He’ll be joined by PARTYNEXTDOOR, Summer Walker, Burna Boy, and Vybz Kartel.
