Drake took a moment during a surprise appearance at a Toronto nightclub to share some thoughts about fake friends.
On Saturday (October 5), Drizzy dropped by the party Nostalgia at the Rebel nightclub in Toronto to introduce another special guest, the singer Mario.
During an otherwise joyful night of dancing onstage and rapping along to old 50 Cent songs, Drake turned serious for a moment when speaking about friendship and betrayal — themes that no doubt resonate because of his recent “20 v. 1” battle against Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross and company.

“One thing about Nostalgia, this party here, my real friends are definitely in the building,” Drake began.
“But I’m gonna tell you, you’re gonna come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, or people you thought were close to you, they might switch up, they might try fighting with you, they might stab you in the back, they might do a lot of things to you.
“You’ll come to that realization. Wherever you’re at in life, you’ve probably been there, and you’ll be there again. That’s how life is.
“But look, sometimes it’s you and you alone, by yourself. Sometimes it’s you alone with your thoughts.”
In other Drake-related onstage shoutout news, Kanye West recently thanked Drizzy for helping him write some of his rhymes, marking another twist in their on-again, off-again feud.

“I wanna thank Drake for writing this chorus for me,” he said during the intro of the track.
Kanye’s unexpected shoutout comes shortly after a video of Drake recording his reference track for “Yikes” emerged as part of the Toronto rapper’s 100 Gigs content dump.
Although Drizzy was credited as a songwriter, the track — and the rest of ye — arrived at the height of his beef with Kanye’s close collaborator and then-G.O.O.D. Music labelmate Pusha T.
