Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Drake has been everywhere this week, dominating headlines, social feeds, and London’s nightlife as he made history at the 2025 Wireless Festival. The buzz began earlier this week when news broke that Drake would become the first artist ever to headline all three nights of the festival at Finsbury Park, an unprecedented move according to Ticketmaster UK and ABC Audio. True to form, he promised—and delivered—three completely different setlists, giving London fans a unique show each night and marking his first UK performances in six years. He set social media ablaze before even stepping on stage, teasing his arrival on Instagram with the message "the boy’s home" and hinting at a new era with a much-anticipated UK and EU arena tour launching after Wireless.

Opening night was a love letter to R&B, with Drake surprising the crowd by bringing out Lauryn Hill to perform an electrifying “Ex-Factor” and “Nice For What” combo, a moment Channel X94 called “absolutely insane.” Fans were treated to a stream of special guests, from Mario and Bobby Valentino to his OVO signee PARTYNEXTDOOR, who debuted several tracks live. But it was Night 2 that sent shockwaves through both the hip-hop scene and social media. According to Vinyl Me Please, Drake unleashed his aggressive side, launching into “IDGAF” and trading the crooner vibes for straight-up rap bravado. He invited UK rap royalty like Skepta, Central Cee, and Dave to the stage, making it crystal clear that he’s not just visiting London—he’s actively championing its vibrant hip-hop community. At one point, as HotNewHipHop reported, he declared to the sold-out crowd that “the best lyricists in the world” are from London, setting off a global debate on X as fans and critics worldwide weighed in on his claim.

Drake’s presence extended offstage as well. According to NFR Podcast and HotNewHipHop, he flirted with flying in a jet full of top Twitch streamers and influencers to attend his shows, part of an ongoing strategy to blend music spectacle with digital celebrity and amplify his social reach. He also made headlines with the recent drop of his single “What Did I Miss?”—an introspective track revisiting the drama of his Kendrick Lamar feud and hinting at themes for his upcoming album ICEMAN, though the release date remains under wraps.

Outside music, coverage from Primal Mogul and Bored Panda highlighted how Drake’s $250 million net worth keeps climbing, thanks to savvy business plays across tech, finance, fashion, and real estate. His historic $400 million Universal deal, continued Apple and Nike partnerships, and co-ownership of A.C. Milan cement his power far beyond the charts. Luxury assets like his Toronto mansion “The Embassy” and the much-photographed Air Drake jet symbolize both his artistic stature and business acumen.

Amidst all this, social media has been a non-stop feed of Wireless Festival clips, with fans reposting Drake’s onstage moments, musical guests, and his public support for UK artists. Speculation remains about which streamers actually made the private jet cut, but one thing is certain—this was a week of big moves, bold statements, and the kind of global spectacle only Drake can deliver.
