Drake Announces Young Money Reunion Set for October World Weekend

Drake's OVO Festival is returning to Toronto after a two-year hiatus. Drake announced on Tuesday (7/12) that he had big news coming soon, and he delivered the next day revealing a star-studded lineup.

On July 28, The All Canadian Northstars take the stage, with Chris Brown and Lil Baby performing the next day. On August 1, Drake, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj will perform together for the first time in years, marking the return of Young Money.

"OCTOBER WORLD WEEKEND, I am currently working on bringing OVO FEST around the world in 2023 for the 10th Anniversary," the "Hotline Bling" rapper posted on Instagram.

Drake dropped the surprise album Honestly, Nevermind last month to both critical acclaim and scrutiny.

"Appreciate everyone listening to the new album," he said during a recent live stream. "Embracing something that I wanted to do for a long time. You know, means a lot to me that it's been this many years, people still tuning in, being open and showing a lot of love to different shit."

"It's all good if you don't get it yet," he added, responding to criticism of the heavily dance-themed album. "That's what we do, we're waiting for you to catch up. We're caught up already, on to the next."

Criticism aside, the album was a major accomplishment for Drizzy — he became only the fifth act to have more than 10 no. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. The release also gave Drake his eighth consecutive year with a new top 10 album — a feat unmatched by any other act.
