“Never thought I’d see the day that free Drake is trending 😭😭,” said a Twitter user. “fell to my knees in my room, tears are running down my eyes. this is worst than the death of my son i had in 2017. the world will burn if this is true. i am now running covered in blood screaming “ FREE DRAKE” in the streets till the lord hears me,” another Twitter user by the username, @wavierwallen tweeted.

Drake on Wednesday announced his upcoming October World Weekend which is set to take place July 28-Aug 1 in his hometown Toronto. The 3-day experience would feature the likes of Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj. Lil Baby and Chrisbrown. The experience is expected to be followed in 2023 by a traveling version of OVO Fest in honor of its 10th anniversary.
