Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
This past weekend London’s Wireless Festival belonged to Drake whose three-night headlining run set social media afire and firmly landed him atop the pop culture conversation. According to People Magazine and BET, July 11 through July 13 saw the Toronto superstar perform marathon sets with an unprecedented parade of special guests—ranging from Ms. Lauryn Hill and Bryson Tiller to Central Cee and Vanessa Carlton—marking the festival’s 20th anniversary with genre-blurring showmanship. The defining moment that went viral was on July 12, when, after egging on the crowd to shout out any artist who could match his energy, the audience erupted into chants against Kendrick Lamar. Drake leaned into it, smiling and telling his crew, “Grab me a shot. I’ll drink to that”—a clear signal that his feud with Lamar is alive and well, just over a year since their infamous diss track exchange.
Wireless also gave Drake a chance to debut unreleased music live, including a track with Central Cee rumored to appear on his next album, tentatively titled Iceman, according to iHeart and Vibe. He switched up lyrics in “Nonstop” to jab at NBA star LeBron James, and even covered up his longtime LeBron tattoo with a tribute to Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Crowds packed Finsbury Park from start to finish, with Saturday’s show alone featuring thirteen different artists on stage, while guest appearances tapered to just three for the final night.
The spectacle didn’t go unnoticed online, with RapUp and countless viral Instagram posts labeling Drake’s turn at Wireless as one of the most talked about moments of the summer. Complex and RapUp highlighted how the event reshaped the London festival scene, reinforcing Drake’s reputation as a must-see live act. Meanwhile, business-wise, Drake’s wealth continues its meteoric climb. BoredPanda reports his net worth hit 250 million dollars this year, thanks to runaway streaming numbers, global tours, lucrative endorsement deals with brands like Nike and Apple, and ongoing OVO business ventures.
No major public controversies or scandals have emerged for Drake in recent days. However, behind the scenes, legal skirmishes continue: after Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-winning “Not Like Us” last year, Drake has reportedly taken legal action against Universal Music Group, alleging defamation, a case UMG strenuously denies. For now, Drake seems to be channeling any tension back into spectacle—dominating headlines, industry charts, and social chatter as only he can.
