Drake brings Cardi B out as surprise guest at OVO Fest and showers her with compliments

Drake was full of surprises at last night’s OVO Fest as he brought out the likes of Cardi B, Meek Mill and Offset during the music event’s final day.

The In My Feelings rapper hosted his annual festival to the Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Canada on Monday and had a few tricks up his sleeve, inviting several of his favourite music peers to share the stage with him.

Cardi B, 26, was among the surprise guests and arrived on stage to a rupture of applause, but not before Drizzy showered her with the highest of compliments. Speaking to the packed-out audience, Drake said: ‘I feel like it’s only right that I say, that I exit the stage and leave you in the company of grace and greatness.’ Flattered by the praise, Cardi shared a clip of the special moment and told her 48.6 million followers: ‘Thank you @champagnepapi for bringing me out at OVO fest !s**t was.

You see I would do a CardiO fest in The Bronx but ya can’t even behave in Bity Island [sic].’ Erm, a Cardi-O festival in the Bronx? We’re almost at JFK Airport. Cardi, real name Belcalis Almanzar, performed her latest single Press before launching into her hit debut single Bodak Yellow.

The Grammy-winning rapper was then joined by her husband Offset for a joint performance of their single Clout.

Offset had flown into Toronto in style on a private jet – of course – and was joined by rising rapper Lil Baby for the luxury trip.

Shortly after landing in the city, Offset came across a billboard of his rap star wife and let’s just say, what he did to the poster can never be unseen.

Meek Mill made a triumphant appearance at OVO Fest, five years after Drake, 32, slammed the rapper on the same stage in the midst of their nasty feud.

Of course, they’re the best of friends now and Drake introduced Meek to the stage with some kind words, telling the crowd: ‘I want you to make some noise for my brother – he goes by the name of Meek Mill.’

We certainly wouldn’t have had that five years ago.

Drake also buried the hatchet with his former Young Money labelmate Tyga, who made a surprise appearance at OVO Fest following years of public feuding.

Other artists to appear included Chris Brown, Megan Thee Stallion and Rick Ross. This year’s OVO Fest comes days after Drake released a new project, Care Package, featuring a host of his popular past singles that do not appear on any of his five albums.
