Last week, Drake kicked off OVO Fest 2022 with a jam-packed cast of “All Canadian North Stars.” Paying tribute to Canada’s R&B and hip-hop history, Drake brought out local legends like Keshia Chanté, K-Os, Maestro Fresh Wes, Shawn Desman, Kardinal Offishall and more.
But the night was capped off with a surprise appearance by Nelly Furtado. Despite selling 40 million records worldwide, making her one of the most successful Canadian artists, Furtado has maintained a low profile throughout the years.
Sharing that Furtado’s music changed his life and asking fans to sing as loud as they can, Drake introduced Furtado on stage. The duo performed the 2006 hit featuring Timbaland “Promiscuous” before moving into the Canadian classic “I’m Like a Bird.” Finishing off the night Drake said, “This is one of the best moments of my entire life,” before honoring all the artists he brought to mark OVO Fest’s 10th anniversary.
“The streets that we walked, the restaurants we eat at, the clubs that we go to, the way that we speak, the aspirations and dreams that we have, were shaped by each and every one of these individuals for me.”
