As we approach Canada Day 2022, we have this Thursday Throwback exclusive with division at Canada 150 in 2017. His set had the huge surprise appearance by Drake.

Check out this blast from the past. In the final hour of the concert, a number of acts signed to Drake’s OVO Sound label took to the stage, including R&B duo dvsn, Roy Wood and Majid Jordan. Drake himself was not slated to appear.

However at around 10 p.m. , the rapper burst onto the stage, drawing screams and applause from the packed crowd. The multi-Grammy Award winner performed several hits and spoke to the enthusiastic audience.

“I’ve been so grateful, you know. I’ve been all over the world. I’ve seen every artist and their fan base and what they call home. I’m just so happy that I’m from a place where we really love each other, you know,” the Toronto-born rapper told the crowd. His performance lasted about 10 minutes and was followed by a planned fireworks display, which he stayed to watch with the crowd.
