What's breaking? What's really going on? Cbc News Network.All the news. Live. >> It makes sense that they get a larger share. Or does it? >> Welcome to the Greenbelt. >> What do we know? I think we can explain. >> Announcer:About That with Andrew Chang. Watch free onCBC Gem. [rock] we're legendary Man: You don't scare me. Look out! [explosion] Ain't nobody gonna stop me. Stadium announcer: We have a new world record. Arena announcer: She scores! Both: Oh my God. Woman: We're a team. [woman yells indiscernibly] we're legendary We fight the best we can. Stadium announcer: Unbelievable. >> Erica: rapper nicki minaj was briefly arrested in amsterdam on saturday for allegedly carrying drugs. >> The police officer told me that we'd have to give all of the luggage. >> Erica: in a video posted to the singer's instagram, her luggage would be taken and searched. Minaj was detained hours before she was supposed to perform in manchester. That concert was called off last minute. She later apologised to fans outside of her hotel.

>>> Québec's premier is suggesting that the province could move to ban social media for kids under the age of 16. Kwabena oduro shows us there's broad agreement on the harms of social media, but not everyone is onboard with a ban. >> [Speaking French] >> Reporter: speaking at his party convention, québec premier françois legault now says that he is open to a ban for social media for those under 16, calling social media platforms virtual pushers. This 16-year-old agrees that there has to be limits. >> I don't think that it would be too much of a limit for that banning to happen. I think that there are a lot of mental health issues that are caused due to -- due in part to social media. >> Reporter: experts say that social media is linked to the rise in negative body image, depression and anxiety in young people. >> It's really that social media ban before the age of 16, before they're ready for, um, the intimidation, the further action to handle the vulnerability that we know that social media offers. >> Reporter: in florida they have banned anyone from under age 14 from setting up social media accounts. But when it comes to social media accounts here, parents worry that children might find a way to bypass those age requirements. >> It won't change anything, you can't enforce it, and it could also be viewed as stifling free speech in a way. However -- however, there's ways that we can teach people how to responsibly use it. >> Reporter: still, some experts say that a universal ban sends an important message. >> With more people banding together and enforcing similar rules, and obviously coming from the government, I think that it would have a significant impact. >> Reporter: legault says that he wants to start a new committee to study the social media impacts on the health and the development of young people. No deadline has been set yet for the study. Kwabena oduro, cbc news, montréal. >> Erica: now we dig deeper into the stories shaping our world. ( ) on a special night for women's hockey, canada's sarah nurse gets personal about the pwhl and its exciting opportunity. >> Like little girls being like, I can't believe that I have a league to play in one day. >> Erica: but, first, how drake put his millions of dollars to work. >> Reporter: let's talk about protecting that wealth. >> When you have that amount of net worth, you kind of have a bull's eye or a target on you. >> Erica: there's a line of defense to safeguard his fortune. Drake's escalading feud with kendrick lamar got his critics raising questions about the companies owned by the toronto rapper. So while the two stars traded insults and bad-mouth rap songs, we did some digging. [ singing ] >> All right put out two diss tracks. >> Kendrick lamar dropped his diss track against drake. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk >> Reporter: some people are digging into the toronto rapper's companies and it turns out that he's got a lot of them. Tweets that got hundreds thousands of views shows that drake owns at least 20 companies. What does that mean? And does it point to anything unusual? Now I looked close intoar this and we got access to some of the records that this stems from. The U.S. documents show that he has or had at least 52 incorporated entities, listing aubrey d. Graham, his legal name, as manager and C.E.O. >> In the u.s., the second that you say oh, let's start this business -- the first thing you would do is to create an llc, it protects you from liability >> Reporter: let's break this down. >> Hey, I'm ru and I'm an addict. >> Reporter: there are nine companies using the name dream crew, and there's 18 that feature his initials. Another four shows away from home, a reference to a song and two that reference owls, drake's trademark symbol for his company known as ovo. And a company with the name strix, which in mythology is an owl that eats humans. One is even called silence policy. >> So you want to keep every single one of those businesses, in effect, segregated in the sense that any risks related to that product and getting sued or going broke or anything to do with that particular project -- are isolated to that particular project and the assets of that particular entity and it doesn't sort of bring the rest of your entire business empire down. >> Reporter:NOW estimates put drake's net worth around $250 million. Let's talk about that wealth. >> It's very common with high wealth to have vulnerability. And that is a form of asset protection, you know, when you have that amount of network you have a bull's eye or a target on you.

or there will be frivolous lawsuits at times, right? [ singing ] >> Reporter: another thing -- actor kendrick used his home for the cover of his diss track "not like us," drake's properties came into the spotlight. In his 2011 track the motto, he raps that he got a condo up in miami. And the miami was flipped to an nba player in 2012. The records show that drake brought that condo from a controversial property developer shaya boymelgreen, marquis developers, llc, one of the namesake partnerships. We don't know how much drake knew about the developer, but in the 2000s, leviev and boymelgreen were both accused of helping to build israeli settlements in the west bank which are considered illegal under international law. Drake's team declined to comment on the record and while leviev and boymelgreen didn't return requests for comments. [ singing ] ultimately using limited liability companies to invest in real estate is something that is typical of someone like drake. >> It is when you have that kind of net worth, to protect protect yourself from potential creditors trying to reach your assets through no fault of your own, whatever the case may be. >> Erica: and yesterday drake told fans on instagram he had placed his first ever bet on a cricket match, he put down a quarter million U.S. dollars. Today his team R.K.R. won the final in the indian premiere league. His reported payout? $420 million. >>> Up next, a conversation with hockey trailblazer sarah nurse. >> It's crazy to officially have to have that title and to be able to be part of the inaugural season of the pwhl. It is kind of a roller coaster. >> Erica: she opens up about a dream come true and her journey to becoming a star of the professional women's hockey league. Andrew Chang: It makes sense that they get a larger share, or does it? -Welcome to the Greenbelt. Andrew: All of this, just single detached homes? -Yes. Andrew: What do we know? I think we can explain. Announcer: About That with Andrew Chang. Watch free onCBC Gem. Bleeding gums? Hold on. It could be a sign of gingivitis.

This isThe Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down. ( ) >> Erica: as teams vie for a top spot on the professional women's hockey league, we throw the spotlight on canada's sarah nurse. >> A wicked top shelf goal. The first of her olympic career. >> Erica: how she made her mark. >> The lack of opportunities was glaring. >> Erica: in a sport that didn't value women as much as men. So here's another look at ian's interview with trailblazing athlete sarah nurse. >> Ian: I don't know that people fully understand that all that has gone into getting this league off the ground, both off the ice and on the ice. And now here you are a professional hockey player, sarah nurse. How does that feel? >> It's crazy to officially have that title and to be able to be a part of the inaugural season of the pwhl. It is kind of a roller coaster. And to be able to sit back and say, oh, my gosh, I'm a professional hockey player -- um, it's an honour. [applause] >> Look at the faces, look at the support, look at all of it that you have fought and battled for on the shoulders of the past generation to the present and all of the young ones out there. They are looking at their future opportunities. It's an unbelievable moment. I got chills. ( ) [Cheers and Applause] >> Ian: you must have thought about this -- the impact that even these first few weeks is having on 6, 7, 8-year-old girls who are either playing hockey or want to play hockey? >> Yeah, the amount of times that I've gotten messages or gotten tagged on social media of the gravity of what we've accomplished in the last year, in the last few weeks, um, has been absolutely incredible. Like, little girls being like, I can't believe, like, that I have a league to play in one day. Women in their 40s or 50s or 60s being like I cannot believe that you guys did this. I always wanted to play hockey and that's all I wanted to do, but there were no opportunities for me. So it's been a full circle moment of young girls, older women, and also men and boys as well who are really understanding that I get stopped at our practise facility all the time by boys, you know, wanting to talk to me about hockey. And talking about how cool it is that we have a professional league. >> Ian: yeah, speaking of full circle, let's go back to the 6, 7, 8-year-old sarah nurse in hamilton. Not that far away geographically but it seems so far away in terms of your hockey journey. How did you choose hockey? How did you get involved? >> I started skating when I was about 3 years old and my dad, he always wanted to play hockey but was never able to. He was a huge hockey fan. And a huge toronto fan. So as soon as he could get me on the ice, he put me on skates. We skated at a local pond together and I was very natural at it. And I took to it very easily and I loved it. So the natural progression from there was figure skating or hockey. And my dad took that as an opportunity to put me in hockey. And I fell in love with the game. I love playing the game so much. I definitely played other sports growing up, but I quickly learned throughout my early teens that my skill set and what I was best at was hockey. >> Ian: yeah, and it is pretty clear as we visited your parents' place in hamilton that he and your mom are incredibly proud of you. They have built basically a little museum, a little sarah nurse museum in hamilton. >> So this the shrine to our kids where we keep all of their memorabilia and all of the stuff that they did. This is the sarah shelf. We have her first 50 goal puck. Her first international goal when she was playing ua teams against germany. Now this barbie doll here is her barbie doll that is made to look like her in her image. And this, this is the stick -- the stick from the first olympic goal. >> A wicked top shelf goal, the first of her olympic career for sarah nurse of canada. ( ) >> Ian: four years later, you made the canadian olympic team -- won a gold medal. And didn't just win a gold medal, but you set the record for the women's olympic hockey tournament, most assists and

most points. So one line should be, sarah nurse, one of the members of the greatest women's olympic teams of that year. And another line out of that is sarah nurse, the first black women's hockey player to win a gold medal at the olympics. So, first of all, in terms of terminology I have seen you used both the word black and biracial to describe yourself. Which do you prefer? >> I usually refer to myself as a biracial black woman, a bit of a combination of the two. And just I think that it is important for me -- there's so many levels of, you know, blackness and for me understanding that I have the inherent privilege of just being a lighter-skinned woman. So I think that it is very important for me to understand and to exemplify that, that I may not necessarily go through some of the things that some of my darker sisters would. >> Ian: um-hmm. Has race been an obstacle to you in your career? >> I think that for myself, um, growing up we were always the only black family in the arena. And so, like, I joke around saying that I always knew who my dad was because I would just have to look out and he was the only black man in all of the white faces. So definitely that was polarizing as a child. And then growing up with women's hockey, I remember someone asking me a few years back if there was racism in women's hockey and I was like -- well, I'm not really sure. But then I took a look around and I was like, well, there are no other black people, there are no asian people, there are no indigenous people. The first time that I ever played with someone who wasn't white was on the 2018 olympic team and that was with my teammate brigitte laquette. And so it was crazy because I was like there's no diversity in this sport at all. And so to be able to see players like sophie jakes and tinker and layla edwards coming up and being a black woman playing on a respected national team in professional hockey, it's going to help to change the game. It's going to help to make the game more inviting and open and welcoming to everybody. >> Ian: you may not have seen a lot of other faces that looked like yours when you were really young playing hockey but you certainly saw a lot of elite athletes just in your family, right? I mean, your aunt who was a basketball star at syracuse. And your cousins, kia, a basketball star and professional player. Darnell, a professional hockey player. So it sounds like a fantastic environment to achieve success. What about being a girl growing up in hamilton playing hockey -- did you feel that there were any obstacles there? >> I think from a very young age, because darnell and I are the exact same age, we played the same sport and our paths always ran parallel to each other. And I always noticed how him and his career was spoken about, versus mine. So we were both elite -- we were both at the top of our age groups, our teams, our province, our country. And I remember that whenever he was spoken about it was like, well, he'll make a living playing this. This will be his full-time career and he can 100% focus his time on this. Whereas, me, it wasn't spoken about like that. It was spoken about -- oh, you need to get an education, because with you are done doing the little thing that you're doing you need something else to do. So me playing my sport was not taken as seriously as his was but that was because there was no professional hockey for women. And the lack of opportunities was glaring for the people that I looked up to, the people around me, and they wanted to make sure that I had my things in order so that I could be as successful as possible outside of hockey. >> Ian: now there was professional women's hockey before the current league, but it sounds like it wasn't that professional. Can I ask, what were the salaries like in those leagues that came before the current league? >> Um, when I first started playing in the cwhl in 2018-2019 -- I was paid $2,000 I believe that my contract was. And then -- >> Ian: $2,000 a game? >> $2,000 a year -- yeah, $2,000 a year, with a possible bonus at the end -- >> Ian: wow. >> And maybe a couple thousand more. >> Ian:SO the difference between almost like an honourarium, and now what I hope is a salary that people could actually live on. >> For sure. >> Ian: one distinction about the new women's league is that it may be the first league ever where there was a collective bargaining agreement in place before the first face-off. The season is sold out. You are on network television. >> Um-hmm. >> Ian: the highlights are on sportsnet and tsn, how are you feeling about where things are right now? >> I'm very proud to see the amount of media that are covering our league because we have never seen that before. The numbers from our first game -- I saw 2.9 million across the network and that's like gold medal game numbers. So the fact that there's that much interest and the fact that people know about it -- because we have played on tv before but

there's been no awareness. So for me to be watching "hockey night in canada" the other day with my family and, like, my face pops up and saying that toronto is playing montréal this week and I am like oh, I forgot -- amazing. But it is so cool to be able to see that because we are front and centre and some people have access to us like never before. >> Ian: some of the athletes are front and centre and you're definitely one of them. And one of the interesting things about the kind of public persona that you have is that on the one hand you played a sport that is rough and tumble and aggressive and there's body checking in this league. But at the same time, you are not afraid to embrace this -- can I say -- sort of feminine image on instagram, for example. Like, how do you balance that? What kind of image are you hoping to portray? >> Yeah, I've always struggled with this because as a child, again, I played so many different sports, but I loved a dress and I loved playing with dolls. So there was one time that I walked into my hockey game at like 7 years old with a dress on and a hockey stick over my shoulder. And that's me -- just how I have always been. So I want to be the person that, like, 7-year-old sarah could look up to and be, like, my gosh, I could be like her, because I didn't have anybody to look up to in that lens. Playing sports, playing hockey, I was always taught that I had to be like brutal and like vicious and I was like that's just simply not me. On the ice I'm a competitor, but off the ice, these are my interests, and I think that is okay. I think that femininity is a sliding scale. I think that my version of femininity is going to be different than the next woman or the next man's version of femininity, and I just want to allow everybody the space to know that they can be who they want to be. I like hockey and it's not who I am, it is something that I do, but I can also like several other things and they can be combined, pretty awesome. >> Ian:THE average male hockey player is usually asked probing questions about getting pucks in deep, or how the power play went. Are you tired of answering the questions that I asked you today about all of these different issues? >> Definitely -- 100% I do. [laughter] but I thinkssues? >> Definitely -- 100% I do. [laughter] but I think that it's been so important, because we have to share our story and we have to continue the movement. And it's important for the next generation of female athletes. So to be able to speak about this is so important. And now being a professional hockey player, I'm seeing the other side of the glass, and I am answering questions about getting pucks in and what is going on with our power play and why we're not being successful. Like, toronto media? They are kind of rough. So it's great. I think that it is great. Now I get to answer questions about both and I hope that one day young girls, girls in my position, are just talking hockey. >> Erica: and the success of the pwhl's first season was just plain to see. It was just honoured as breakthrough of the year at the sport business awards. In the first five months the league set six attendance records for women's hockey.
