Drake Called The Weeknd ‘One Of The Greatest Artists’ Of All Time
Celebrating his birthday earlier this month, The Weeknd had a club blowout in Las Vegas to ring in his 32nd birthday (February 16). At one point at the party, Drake took the mic to give an emotional speech dedicated to his longtime friend and collaborator.
Per Billboard, Drake addressed The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) saying, “We’re celebrating one of the greatest artists of all f—ing time. My brother from day one, and I’m grateful not only to be here with my brothers but that the family is back together where we belong from the greatest city in the world. Straight, big six Toronto. At the end of the day we are here for one man and I want everyone to enjoy their life on behalf of my brother Abel.”
The “Way 2 Sexy” rapper also commemorated the night with an Instagram post packed with photos of him and Abel, writing, “We’ve done everything like it’s nothing…isn’t that something.”
