The Canadian superstar declared London rappers as “the best lyricists in the world”, adding: “No disrespect to America, but nobody in the world can out-rap London rappers”
Drake played the second of three headline sets at Wireless Festival last night, and brought out many special guests to mark the occasion.
Last night (July 12), a set coined “Drake & The Mandem”, Drake would bring out a host of figures from the UK rap scene and declared: “London rappers are the best lyricists in the world.”
“No disrespect to America, but nobody in the world can out-rap London rappers,” he continued. “This is the highest level – this is what I aspire to be.”
Drake would bring out acts like Fakemink to the stage to perform ‘Music and Me’, before also bringing K-Trap on for a rendition of ‘Warm’.
J Hus then joined the set to perform their 2023 collaboration ‘Who Told You’. Drake famously brought J Hus out on stage at the O2 Arena in 2019 on the day he was released from prison, which he referenced on Saturday evening as “one of my greatest moments as a performer”.
Afterwards, Skepta came on stage to perform ‘Shutdown’, followed by Dave with ‘Wanna Know’, shortly followed by Central Cee, who joined for ‘Sprinter’. Check out all the clips below.
Drake also teased a collab with UK Superstar Central Cee:
