Drake Names Lil Wayne & Nicki Minaj “The Greatest Of All Time” 

Drake paid tribute to Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj at the Young Money reunion show in Toronto this weekend as part of his OVO Fest.  

Drake finally reunited onstage with his Young Money co-stars for the first time in seven years this weekend. 

The 6 God brought the “Young Money Reunion” to his hometown OVO Fest after an initial delay. Drake contracted Covid before the scheduled concert on August 1 and had to postpone the reunion show to August 7.  

Then Lil Wayne had issues entering Canada, causing a further delay, and the concert ran late. However, when the show began, a message flashed up on the big screen reading, “Unfortunately, Lil Wayne had issues at the border.” Nonetheless, as the text explained, “Luckily, Drake runs the border.”
