Drake Announces The Return Of OVO Fest This Summer

It's no secret that Drake needs a win (bad), as the past year has been tough on the Canadian rap crooner's career thanks to a certified Boogeyman who resides out in Los Angeles.




Though the embattled artist has been keeping a somewhat low profile as of late as he regroups and plans his next moves, Drake did make some noise this past weekend when he announced that OVO Fest would be returning after a hiatus for the last few years and that Central Cee will indeed be taking part in the upcoming festivities. Popping up at Central Cee's concert in Toronto this past weekend, Drizzy informed the crowd that OVO Fest will be making a comeback this summer, telling his adoring home crowd "OVO Fest back this year," and letting Central Cee know "So we'll need you there for that, but you already know what it is."

Though Drizzy has yet to make an official announcement, it seems like he's ready to get back in the spotlight this summer and is planning on recruiting some of his Hip-Hop peers to get it popping at his next OVO Fest.




With the last OVO Fest having taken place in 2022 (when Drake was on top of the world) and including the likes of Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Nelly Furtado, it will be interesting to see who Drake can get to pull up to his upcoming festivities as some artists are still wary of being associated with the "0 To 100" rapper due to the hate that he's still getting from many in the culture thanks to his beef with Kendrick Lamar.




Still, we're sure he'll have enough pull with certain artists (such as Central Cee apparently) that should OVO Fest 2025 actually happen, it will be quite the spectacle for music fans to enjoy and bring some much needed positive vibes to the King of the North, who's been scowling on his throne for quite some time now.
