Weekend does basically the same tho. I mean you can check the numbers globally as well. Weekend is bigger than Drake pretty much every where but in North America and arguably Canada. In the UK, Europe, etc. it’s a wash bro Weekend clears. Drake has more number 1 hits but that’s about it.

[@arnulfogonzalez842]

@@jamesonedwardsii4943 bro we’re talking about Toronto not the global world, im not denying Abel’s success, im a big Abel fan since 2011 House of Balloons. Abel is a fantastic artist but he ain’t Drake when it comes to Toronto. The video is about who has the most power in the city, clearly Drake washes Abel since only one of them lives in the city. If you watched the video that I mentioned you see the influence drizzy has in Toronto

[@mapitizat]

​@@jamesonedwardsii4943And that's where the crux of the argument lies. The battle lines in this debate isn't global, but local - namely Toronto.

If I may, you all are missing some key information. OVO Fest was started to coincide with Caribana (our annual festival). OVO fest is always on that weekend. This year, Caribana (and OVO Fest if it takes place) is on the long weekend of Aug 1st-5th. Metro and them scheduled their concert the weekend after (the 11th) because they don't want that smoke. Drake up. The defense rests.
