Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Drake has stormed the headlines again this week, blending controversy, industry power moves, and sheer spectacle into a combination only he can deliver. After performing two explosive sold-out shows in Manchester, Drake abruptly canceled his July 28 Co-op Live gig, blaming travel logistics. The disappointed crowd was told to hold on to their tickets for a new date, August 5, with the venue promising an unforgettable rescheduled experience. The cancellation, though, sparked a viral moment on social media, as Drake leaned into the unexpected meme culture by jumping on the trending Jet2 airline jokes. He posted a tongue-in-cheek Instagram carousel showing himself at Jet2 locations and even donning an employee vest, embracing the “From Jet2 to 2Jets ya musta mad” meme while fans and even the airline’s official account piled into the comments. According to The Express, this episode has not only boosted his online engagement, it’s become an accidental marketing coup for Jet2 and proof of how effortlessly Drake dominates internet cycles.
Drake’s tour activity remains red-hot in Europe. Manchester waits for the August 5 return, while fans in Stockholm are already planning outfits for his August 21 and 22 dates at the Avicii Arena as part of his $ome $pecial $hows 4 EU tour. Collaborator PARTYNEXTDOOR continues on the road with him after their joint album release earlier this year. This isn’t his only tour controversy: last week he confirmed that all remaining 2025 Australia and New Zealand shows have been officially canceled after months of postponements and radio silence, with promoters Live Nation Australia citing insurmountable scheduling conflicts and promising full refunds.
Musically, Drake continues to cement his chart legacy. His latest track “WHICH ONE,” a collaborative single with Central Cee, is projected to debut in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10—his 82nd career Top 10 hit. On social media, Drizzy caused a stir by calling out other artists for using his name for clout whenever they have an album on the horizon. He dropped pointed commentary on Instagram, writing, “My first thought when they get to talking out the side of their mouth is... they obviously got an album coming out,” which ignited a heated fan debate about who really benefits from these public spats. Meanwhile, Dreamville rapper Bas leaped to his defense, declaring Drake “the greatest writer of this generation”—a quote multiplying across music outlets.
Grammy chatter continues even as Drake skips this year’s nominations, a likely result of his much-analyzed decision to stop submitting music for consideration. As Kendrick Lamar racks up nods for his diss tracks directed at Drake, industry watchers are split on whether Drizzy will make a surprise appearance at the ceremony. If anything, the past few days have confirmed that whether on stage, on Instagram, or in pop culture’s collective imagination, Drake remains the most restless—and relevant—force in global music.
