The U.S. trek kicks off in Athens, Georgia on April 18 at the Georgia Theater. “We starting it off in my own backyard … that’s right up the street,” he told Rolling Stone. “They’ll show me love before we get out there in the midst of the world.”

Some thing happened to Drake. Difference is, Drake was performing at sold out stadiums with 40,000 seats. When he tragically went down with a knee sprain, literally millions of fans were let down because the wouldnt have the opportunity to be graced by his presense, live. Meanwhile Lil Boi is performing in front of a crowd of 50 people. Sucks to not be affiliated with YMCMB.
Fuck you
Let me know when Drake goes diamond for his career album sales, let alone for one album (Speakerboxxx/Love Below)…Big Boi’s Net Worth > Drake’s Net Worth
