Drake has announced the postponement of the Young Money reunion show at October World Weekend after he tested positive for COVID-19.

The Boy took to Instagram Stories to share the news, adding that he will make sure to reschedule the highly-anticipated event with Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj:

“I am truly devastated to say that I tested positive for Covid and the Young Money Reunion show scheduled for tonight is being rescheduled to the SOONEST date possible. I will keep the city posted and share the new date whenever we have it locked. Until then I hope everyone stays safe and healthy and I love you all I am so sorry for letting you down on our weekend together and the moment I test negative I will give you everything I got on stage (except the Covid).”

The Young Money reunion show was meant to close out this year’s October World Weekend, with Weezy and Minaj set to perform a show with Drizzy in Toronto’s Budweiser Stage. The three-day event kicked off July 28 with the All Canadian North Stars lineup, which he described as “[a] celebration of the music that paved the way for all of us,” while July 29 saw Chris Brown and Lil Baby perform.
