Drake Replaced DJ Khaled at Wireless Festival

Fans got an upgrade to “business class.”

After blessing the UK with a linkup tv behind bars freestyle, Drake saves the day by headlining the Wireless Festival while on vacation after DJ Khaled pulled out at the last minute.

DJ Khaled had to vacate his 8:50pm slot at the Wireless Festival in the UK. To put it mildly, fans weren’t too impressed with Khaled’s effort level. Festival organizers were thus forced to his cancellation when it became painfully obvious Khaled was nowhere near Finsbury Park hours before his scheduled performance. Khaled’s vacation “snaps” seemed to indicate he was still with his family in Mexico, testing out the local “infinity pool.”

Following days of speculation, Drake was confirmed as DJ Khaled’s replacement on the bill. As you can see below, elements of Drake’s stage presentation started rolling out, like this union jack-themed OVO owl and this life size portrait of Drake performing his “Behind Barz Freestyle.”

Then social media started live streaming the performance through their phones. UK residents who passed on the opportunity to purchase festival passes seem to be suffering from intense flashes of FOMO. Maybe Khaled pulling out was planned from the start à la Trojan Horse.

Only time will tell.
