Drake & Lauryn Hill COLLIDE at Wireless! You Won't Believe What Happened!
Drake's Wireless Festival takeover in London is already legendary! Night one was a full-blown R&B celebration, and the surprises kept coming. Not only did Drake bring out millennial faves like Mario, Bobby Valentino, Bryson Tiller, and Giveon, but he also shared the stage with his OVO signee PARTYNEXTDOOR, performing hits like "Come and See Me" and "Spider-Man Superman."
Lauryn Hill Steals the Show
But the real shocker? Lauryn Hill! The crowd went wild when she appeared, launching into a powerful rendition of "Ex-Factor." Then, in a moment that had social media buzzing, Drake seamlessly transitioned into his own hit, "Nice For What," which samples Hill's iconic track. Videos circulating online show fans completely losing it, with one attendee describing the mashup as "one of the most incredible things I've ever seen live."
The energy was a stark contrast to Hill's recent performance at Essence Festival, making this Wireless appearance even more special. Drake clearly curated a night to remember, paying homage to the R&B artists who inspired him and creating unforgettable moments for the audience.
Drake's R&B Love Letter
Wireless Festival, celebrating its 20th anniversary, has a history of hosting music royalty, from Jay-Z to Rihanna. Drake, a Wireless veteran himself, previously headlining in 2012 and 2015, is aiming for a record-breaking three-night headlining run this year. This R&B-themed opening night proved he's not just a rapper; he's a true music enthusiast with a deep appreciation for the genre.
Fans are eagerly anticipating what Drake has in store for the remaining nights of Wireless. If night one is any indication, it's going to be an unforgettable weekend of music.
