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.”
