Drake kicked off his highly anticipated tour in Australia with a heartfelt speech that left fans buzzing in Perth.
Drake launched his Anita Max Win tour making the first stop in Australia. During the packed show in Perth, the artist took a moment to thank the audience for their unwavering support over nearly two decades. He emphasized his vigor by declaring, ‘I’m very much alive,’ much to the delight of the crowd.
Reflecting on his journey from Toronto to the global stage, Drake expressed his gratitude and hinted at his new album set to release on Valentine’s Day, crafted with fellow artist PARTYNEXTDOOR. ‘Take care of each other,’ he advised, reflecting on the unpredictable world outside the concert walls.
The tour will sweep through cities including Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane before a grand finale in Auckland, New Zealand on March 16. This journey celebrates Drake’s evolution while treating fans to a medley of his musical milestones.
Fans were also treated to a dazzling spectacle offstage. Known for his love of high-stakes and bling, Drake acquired a custom pendant from jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills. This remarkable piece boasts 3 kilos of gold and over 250 carats of diamonds, featuring his alter ego, Anita Max Win.
In a sport dominated by prowess and rivalry, Kanye West spoke candidly about Drake’s recent battle with Kendrick Lamar. Although Lamar emerged victorious, Kanye likened the scenario to superhero narratives, where heroes make comebacks. ‘You can’t ever count out Steph Curry,’ he remarked, underscoring Drake’s inevitable return to form.
This tour embodies not just music but the saga of Drake’s career, from battling rivals to uniting fans. Despite hurdles, Drake stands resilient, continuing to engage and inspire those who have supported him from the start.
Drake’s tour kickoff in Australia was more than just a concert; it was a celebration of his legacy and a testament to his enduring presence in the music world.
