The audience went wild when Drake appeared from the Mount Wilson Observatory-inspired structure to perform “Shabang.” This was the first time Drizzy showcased tracks from his Billboard 200-topping ICEMAN album in an arena.
The 6 God energized the Scotiabank Arena crowd as he performed “Janice STFU,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, along with “Burning Bridges.” After the ICEMAN medley, Cactus Jack praised Drake for his influence on hip-hop.
Toliver expressed his gratitude, stating, “I appreciate you for inspiring us all. You know damn well this wouldn’t be this s–t if you ain’t do this s–t, bro. I appreciate you so much. You inspired me, and you inspired all of us. Thank you so much for pulling up on me.”
In return, Drake acknowledged Toliver and reflected on giving ICEMAN its first live performance, hinting at what fans can expect when he resumes touring.
“I just wanna thank Don for having me out tonight. This is my first time performing the album since it dropped, so thank you for being here,” he said. “Look, I love this thing that we do so much in front of the city; I just want to thank you for keeping this s–t alive. You’ve had an incredible year.”
Don Toliver began 2026 with his OCTANE album in January, achieving his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. The Nitrous leg of his OCTANE World Tour continues with shows in University Park, Pa. (Penn State), Philly, Boston, and Brooklyn.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Drake’s North American tour, his first since the It’s All a Blur Tour in 2023. In May, he made history by holding the top three positions on the Billboard 200 simultaneously with ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR.
Drake is not finished yet; he has been teasing another project titled FOMO, expected to drop before the year concludes.
