At this year’s October World Weekend, Drake reconnected with singer Keshia Chante, his first serious girlfriend, for a journey down memory lane.
During his All Canadian All-Stars performance on Thursday, July 28, Drake addressed the audience at Toronto’s History venue, saying, “This next person coming to the stage, I used to hop in my mom’s vehicle and I used to travel all the way to the west for this donna right here, you feel me? I must thus introduce her personally.
“This is the first relationship I have ever had in my life,” he continued. I have the utmost love for this great legend.
The crowd went wild as the ex-lovers embraced when Keshia Chante, who is long suspected to be the Kiki described in Drake’s 2016 hit “In My Feelings,” walked out. After giving a handful of her singles a live performance, Chanté shared her appreciation for Drake on Instagram.
She inaugurated, “Legendary Nights in Toronto.” “I’ve never witnessed the city unite in such a way! It was all of that. A fantasy that could only be realized by @champagnepapi. The most touching and profound introduction I’ve ever received. Aubs I will always love you. And you have my MFN pride, @djcharlieb.
Keshia Chante: Large-scale Canadian weekend practically went off without a hitch
The enormous Canadian weekend, which had been announced back in June, went down without a hitch. For the All Canadian North Stars performance, Drake invited a wide range of Canadian legends, including Nelly Furtado, K-os, Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, Saukrates, Glenn Lewis, Jully Black, and Maestro Fresh Wes.
A much-anticipated Young Money reunion, however, was canceled on Monday (August 1) when Drake’s COVID test resulted in a positive result.
Drake said in his Instagram Story on Monday: “I am extremely devastated to say that I tested positive for Covid and the Young Money Reunion show slated for tonight is being rescheduled to the SOONEST date possible” (August 1). “Whenever we have a new date, I’ll update the city and let them know,”
“Until then, I hope everyone stays safe and healthy. I love you all and I’m sorry for disappointing you on our weekend getaway. The instant I test negative, I’ll give you everything I’ve got on stage (apart from the Covid).”
Chris Brown and Lil Baby performed for OVO fans on Friday, July 29 at the Budweiser Stage as part of their One Of Them Ones Tour, while Detroit artist Icewear Vezzo was also introduced as the newest member of Quality Control Music.
