Karen Bliss For Torontonians attending Drake’s History venue on Friday night, OVO — for October’s Very Own, the superstar’s enduring Canada-based brand — may as well have stood for Our Very Own.You could even say Drake made history with what he dubbed the “All Canadian North Stars,” a mind-blowing assembly of homegrown hip-hop and R&B artists who, as he wrote in his Instagram announcement of the lineup, “paved the way for all of us.”Some of the artists launched hip-hop in Canada long before the city was called TheSix or even the T-dot. And while it was never mentioned, it was hard not to notice the night was being filmed, possibly for a documentary.Drake has singlehandedly helped the careers of more than 100 Canadian producers, beatmakers and songwriters by using them on his albums (according to a count by music publisher Michael McCarty citing the performing rights organization SOCAN) — the majority from the Greater Toronto Area/Southern Ontario, in fact — and the All Canadian North Stars show was Drizzy’s chance to give flowers to many of the artists who helped him along the way. The three-and-a-half hour concert, which wrapped after 2 a.m., was the kick-off to Drake’s annual OVO weekend, which typically coincides with the end of the month-long Toronto Caribbean Carnival.

Drake has been forced to defend himself after he received heavy criticism for a short flight on his private jet. The Gods Plan rapper is the proud owner of a Boeing 767-200 plane which he purchased in 2019 for a reported eye-watering $220million (£182m). He is then said to have casually splurged a cool $100m (£83m) on refurbishing the jet and transforming it into Air Drake, as it was previously used as a cargo plane for 23 years. Twitter account Celeb Jets has fallen under the spotlight recently thanks to it tracking the flight patterns of private planes owned or rented by the rich and famous, such as Kylie Jenner, Floyd Mayweather, Mark Wahlberg and Steve Spielberg. The account informs its followers of when a jet has taken off carrying a celebrity, their destination and the time it spent getting from one location to the next. Earlier this month, the social media page tracked Air Drake landing in Hamilton, Ontario in Canada following an approximate flight time of 14 minutes. Another flight lasting just 18 minutes between Hamilton and Toronto on July 12 has also been attributed to Drake’s plane. Drake’s Jet Landed in Hamilton, Ontario, CA.
