Drake and Cole’s collaborative relationship dates back years — with popular collaborations including 2011’s “In the Morning” and 2013’s “Jodeci Freestyle” (which later appeared on Drake’s 2019Care Packageproject).
Most recently, Drake and Cole have made various appearances at each other’s concerts as surprise guests. Cole surprised Drake’s It’s All a Blur crowd inMotreal in July, Drake did the same at Cole’s Dreamville Festival in April, and the pair later reunited in Toronto when Coleappeared on stage to perform"First Person Shooter" with Drake in October, shortly after the release of his latest LPFor All the Dogs.
“Toronto please, make some noise for the legendary, all the way from North Carolina, J. Cole,” Drake said at his hometown gig. “Y’all better make some f—— noise tonight.”
The pair’s latest collaborationhit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100in October, effectively tying Drake with Michael Jackson for the most No. 1s from a solo male artist. It marked Cole’s first-ever Hot 100 chart-topper.
Drake’s It’s All a Blur Tour generated plenty of headlines during it’s run this year, too — from the rapper performing with a version of hisyounger self, to him offering to pay for afan’s medical billsand even building abra collectionwhile on the road.
The next run of shows isn’t even the first time Cole and Drake have hit the road together, either, as the North Carolina rapper previously opened for Drizzy during the second North American leg of his 2012 Club Paradise Tour.
For fans looking to catch a reunion, Cash App Card presale for the tour kicks off on Wednesday, and general sale begins on Friday.
