Drake took to his Instagram to apologise to his fans because he has tested positive for COVID-19.
Fans were looking forward to the final night of the October World Weekend show that would have featured, himself alongside, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.
In his note Drake said he had “tested positive for COVID,” and that “the Young Money Reunion show is being rescheduled to the SOONEST date possible.”
He also said he was truly devastated.
According to Billboard October World Weekend is a three-day Toronto-based festival that aims to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Drake’s OVO Fest and preview a global run for the festival in 2023. This year’s splashy weekend of performances follows another banner for the rapper.
Last month (July 2), Drake notched his eleventh No. 1 title on the Billboard 200 with the debut of Honestly, Nevermind. The corresponding No. 1 debut of the 21 Savage-assisted “Jimmy Cooks” on the Billboard Hot 100 helped Drake become the soloist with the most Hot 100 top 5 hits in history (29, tied with The Beatles).
