Drake is a well-known football fan, previously playing a role in the transfer of Jermain Defoe from Tottenham Hotspur to his hometown team Toronto FC.

“I don’t know if I had an influence on him coming,” Drake told the Toronto Sun. “I think that all I did was give him the necessary information about a city he didn’t know much about. I told him how great it’s been to me, and how great I assumed it would be to him. We had a great conversation. We built up a personal relationship.”

During his Wireless headline performance on Friday (July 3), Drake brought out London grime MC Skepta to perform ‘Shutdown’ during a hit-laden set.

Drake wore a Boy Better Know T-shirt throughout the gig and brought out the crew’s biggest name member to perform ‘Shutdown’. “Man’s never been in Finsbury when it’s shutdown,” said Drake as the song began, aping the beginning of the recorded version.

After the song ended, both Skepta and Drake paid tribute to Lukey Maxwell. Maxwell was stabbed and killed in June in an incident in London’s Northumberland Park.
