Last year’s Wireless was headlined by Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj and 21 Savage, although Tyla and Digga D dropped out and the festival ended early on the Sunday in time for England playing in the final of UEFA Euro 2024.
Drake, meanwhile, is currently in the middle of his first Australia and New Zealand tour in eight years, a 14-date jaunt that will wrap up on March 16 in Auckland.
He also released his collaborative album ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’ with PartyNextDoor on Friday (February 14), a collection of sultry R&B-infused songs that sees the rapper address his feud with Kendrick Lamar and tensions with Future, Metro Boomin and Rick Ross.
It is Drake’s first record since 2023’s ‘For All The Dogs‘, which was given a three-star review by NME. “In the hours shortly before the album dropped, Drake announced that he would take a break from music to focus on his health… Hopefully he returns revitalised and renewed, because ‘For All The Dogs’ – his third solo LP in as many years – not only feels tiring, but sounds tired too.”
Kendrick headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show on February 10, where he took several shots at Drake, even poking fun at him for suing Universal Music Group for promoting ‘Not Like Us’. “I want to play their favourite song but you know they like to sue,” he quipped before playing the song for one second. He would eventually play the song in full with SZA later in the set.
Drake’s father Dennis Graham also recently commented on Lamar‘s 2025 Grammy wins for ‘Not Like Us’. “I don’t care enough about that shit,” he said. “That ain’t got nothing to do with me. All the best to him. I don’t do that bullshit.”
