Some reports claim that this performance marks Drake’s first time performing in Atlanta since 2018. While on stage he took a moment to talk about his unplanned pop-up and said,
“By the way, I didn’t get invited to this show. Nobody from Morehouse asked me to perform. My brother brought me here, so make some noise.”
