Drake was on the mic from the balcony alongside his son, Adonis, at History when he made the surprise appearance that had fans buzzing.
The heartfelt exchange was a poignant reminder of the deep bonds that exist within the music industry. Drake, who hadn’t set foot in his hometown in four months, took the opportunity to let Lil Yachty shine, urging him to take a breather.
In response, Lil Yachty rallied the crowd, exclaiming, “Open up the circle!”
What followed was nothing short of explosive. A colossal mosh pit erupted, the energy in the venue surging to a fever pitch. The throng of fans became a sea of movement, pulsating to the beat of Drake’s new hit Meltdown, featuring none other than the magnetic Travis Scott.

The crowd, seemingly boundless in their energy, moved in synchrony, creating an atmosphere of pure euphoria. History became a building filled with passion and intensity, the music reverberating through every corner of the venue.
