Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Drake has dropped a 12-minute music video for ‘Child’s Play’, centring around the track’s argument at The Cheesecake Factory lyric.

Co-directed by the man himself, it plays out like a daytime soap opera, with Tyra Banks’s character calling Drake out for lying about being busy in the studio.

Played to full slapstick effect, Drake gets a cheesecake to the face and is then covered in red wine, which he remains covered in as he starts rapping the first verse all mournful. So very Drake.

Chances are, Views is probably off your rotation by now, but watching the video did remind me what a great song ‘Child’s Play’ is.

Drake wasn’t the only major artist to drop a new video overnight, with Beyoncé finally putting ‘Hold Up’ on YouTube.

The 6 God is set to release a short film on 30 September, which is titled Please Forgive Me and was made with Anthony Mandler.
