Drake had a historic performance in London over the weekend, but his set wouldn't be complete without some jabs at his foes, Kendrick Lamar and LeBron James.
The Boy kicked off his three-night headlining set on Friday night, July 11, by providing some serious R&B vibes with the help of numerous surprise guests, including Givēon, Bryson Tiller, Mario, Bobby Valentino, and Ms. Lauryn Hill. The Fugees crooner came out to perform "Nice For What" alongside Drizzy. During his set, fans noticed that Drake covered up the tattoo he once had of LeBron James and replaced it with a tribute to Oklahoma City Thunder player, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
That was just the beginning of Drizzy's wrath aimed at the veteran NBA star. He continued to serve up a mixture of his timeless classics and his most recent hits throughout the second night of his headlining set. He began his set by bringing out Yeat to perform their collaboration "IDGAF" from his 2023 album For All The Dogs, and later delivered "What Did I Miss?" for the first time live. After performing songs like "Know Yourself" and "Energy," Drizzy delivered his 2018 banger "Nonstop" and took a jab at LeBron by switching up his original lyrics about him.
"How I go from 6 to 23 but not Lebron," he rapped on stage.
Drake continued his show on Saturday night by bringing out a parade of the U.S. & the U.K.'s biggest rap artists. Headie One, fakemink, J Hus, Skepta, Dave, and Central Cee all pulled up to perform their respective hits with Drizzy. Cench delivered several bangers, including "Band4Band" and more. Later on, Drake brought out more special guests like Sexyy Red, who twerked on Drizzy and performed songs like "Rich Baby Daddy," "Get It Sexyy" and more. He also brought out PARTYNEXTDOOR to perform "Somebody Loves Me," Latto, who performed "Brokey" and "Big Mama," and 21 Savage, who performed "Knife Talk" and "Rich Talk." He wrapped up by inviting Vanessa Carlton to perform "A Thousand Miles."
In between his set, Drizzy spoke to the crowd and boasted about his massive performance at Wireless Fest. "Three sets, three different vibes," he said. "You name another artist that can do it and bring 'em up here, we can clash right now. Anybody!" From there, the sea of fans began to chant "F**k Kendrick!" which brought a smile to Drizzy's face.
"Chubbs, grab me a shot. I'll drink to that," he said.
Drake continued to make headlines on the third night of his set at Wireless. He debuted an unreleased song with Central Cee, which could end up on his upcoming album Iceman. He also brought out special guests like Popcaan, Vybz Kartel, and Rema. The Afrobeats singer remained on stage and performed a slew of songs from "Calm Down" to his recent single "Baby (Is It A Crime)."
