Drake’s OVO Fest featured several guest performers Monday (August 5).
Kanye West hit the stage at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre in Toronto, Canada, performing “New Slaves,” “All of the Lights” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”
“This is one of my first mentors, one of the first people to embrace me, my role model,” Drake said of West. “Y’all make some noise for the god that is Kanye West.”
West also spoke about Drake.
“There’s a lot of rappers that came in the game that wasn’t able to do something like this for their city,” Kanye said. “Me and [Jay Z] would’ve never made Watch the Throne if this nigga wasn’t putting pressure on us like that.”
“That was probably the most important moment in my career to date,” Drake said in a post-show interview with MTV. “I think me and Kanye have wanted to express our respect for each other for a long time and sometimes Rap, the business, the competitiveness and just the heart behind it, forces you to not talk to the people you quietly admire.”
The interaction between West and Drake can be seen below via RealTalkNY.
Diddy and Ma$e were introduced as guest performers, as well. They performed “Feel So Good” and “Mo Money Mo Problems.” “This is history,” Diddy said. “Thanks Drake, for bringing us together.” The two have been associates and at odds during different times in their careers. Last year, Ma$e left Diddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment after disagreements with the label. “You know how Puff is,” Ma$e said of Diddy. “I love him but you gon’ cut your arm off to get free [from Bad Boy].”
Lil Wayne also hit the stage for “HYFR” and “Good Kush & Alcohol (Bitches Love Me).” TLC performed “FanMail,” “Waterfalls” and “No Scrubs,” which featured Lil Mama performing Left Eye’s material. Big Sean joined Drake for “All Me” and The Weeknd joined Drizzy for “Crew Love.” J. Cole and Miguel hit the stage for “Power Trip” and French Montana performed “Ain’t Worried About Nothin'” and “Pop That.” A$AP Rocky came out for “Fuckin’ Problems” and “Wild for the Night.”
Wale and James Blake performed as opening acts at the OVO Fest, which is in its fouth year. Last year’s event featured A$AP Rocky and 2 Chainz, among others.
Stop hurting yourself drake. You’re god.
“That was probably the most important moment in my career to date”

you mean pop
Drake is true hiphop bitch.
^ or poop
You’re wrong about everything, Drake dickrider. Your hero’s just paying homage because half of his style is from Kanye (the other half is from Wayne) and if it wasn’t for Kanye, Drake wouldn’t have a music career. Also, Drake is nottrue hip-hop, he’s fake R&B/pop rap.
Good to see these dudes show they can be humble as well.

It would’ve been a lot funnier if you didn’t list a whole comedy show of punch lines in a comment section tho… try hard maybe?
God, I hate this dude. He’s always kissing someones ass and being fake. He was just dissing kanye like a year ago now, he’s a “god”? Corny, canadian, pussy!
when he’s nice he’s fake, when he’s confrontational you call him a bitch. just say you dont like him ffs. there is no pleasing you. stop pretending like there is something he could do to satisfy you.
def jam calling favors lol..album is wack get over it
I think we are going to see many rappers of this generation come out of the closet soon.
Most of these rappers are fags without a doubt and I’m not just typing that to be funny.
this guy is always talking about hating groupies- but ive never seen a bigger celeb groupie in all of rap than drake. i mean he looked like he would of literally took a Gbang from lebron n wade in those other pics..now hes claling another star a god. lame
what happened to no new friends LOL

Drake sounds to me like a swallower
They fucked
how is this news!
I can’t lie, that looks like a dope concert
it was the pefect place to have my first period
OVO
Lol Knnye’s a fucking peasant in the history of rap. Drake and Kanye need to learn their place.
You apparently haven’t listened to his first three albums then. And if you did then you are ust a retard who know ack shit about hiphop. I’ll go as far to call him the artist of the decade.
I’ll go as far as calling him the gayest fish of the decade.
dude made backpack rap hotter than hot man nonsense who says he is a peasant. his production is stellar especially early production, innovative modern hip hop sound
the point is West suffers fro a superiority complex now
A grown man calling another grown man a God? Ass kissing to the fullest..its official im looking for another genre of music now.
drake and kanye both gays. ja rule only real 1 left in the game 🙁
I would say kill yourself but that would be too much. Just do the world a favor and stop listening to Hip Hop. “Ja Rule the only real 1 left in the game”… nigga please
