Drake went all out for his homecoming concert in Toronto on Tuesday (August 21). For his first of two hometown shows at Scotia Bank Arena, the Scorpion rapper surprised the crowd by bringing out Travis Scott for a performance of "SICKO MODE" and "goosebumps."
Fans captured footage of the epic set, which came just days after the Astroworld rapper's out of this world performance at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards.
During the concert, Drake also praised his city for "making him" the man he is today. “I’m forever grateful, everywhere I go, I carry the value of this city with me,” he told the crowd. “Every night that I go and I do a show in America, I tell them, ‘This is how the world is supposed to work.'"
He continued, “You see, tonight, we got 17,000 people inside one building from all races, from all places, and all we are doing is just listening to music, and smoking and drinking — and enjoying our lives. And I want you to know that that’s something that I learned right here in Toronto.”

Drake recently surprised 11-year-old heart patient, Sofia Sanchez, who asked to meet him for her 11th birthday. The Chicago native, who is awaiting a new heart at Lurie Children’s Hospital, asked that Drake come to the hospital to "cheer" her up and boy did he deliver.
Drake spent an hour with the birthday girl, gifted her "tons of merch," and even rapped a few bars of "God's plan." "It's a miracle because it's one of the first wishes I got in a long time," Sofia said of Drake's visit. "This is the best birthday present I ever had."
Drake is currently on tour with the Migos for their "Aubrey & The Three Migos Tour."
