Drake makes surprise appearance at 21 Savage concert in Toronto amid ongoing feud with rapper Kendrick Lamar
Drake is currently in the middle of a messy feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.
And on Monday, the Hotline Bling hitmaker, 37, received moral support from his friend and frequent collaborator 21 Savage.
Savage – real name Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph – brought Drake on stage to perform Rich Flex and Knife Talk during his recent Toronto concert, according to images from fans shared on YouTube.
He also said some kind words to Drake, telling the sold-out crowd, “That’s a good n***a, a real n***a. We need more n****s like him in the culture. On my mother, straight up.”
It comes after A-lister Tom Hanks bizarrely spoke out about Drake and Kendrick’s explosive feud this week – in hilarious messages shared by his son Chet.

Chet, 33, who previously dabbled in rap music, shared screenshots of lyrics between him and Oscar winner Tom, 67, discussing the feud between the rappers.
The texts started with Tom – saved as “Pops” in Chet’s phone – writing: “Big Main, can you explain the Drake Kendrick Lamar argument to me?”
Chet replied, “Yeah, so Drake and that other guy J Cole say they, along with Kendrick, are the “Big 3” in the rap world. Then Kendrick released a song that said, “F*** the Big 3, it’s just big ME,” which initiated the beef.”
Chet, who rapped under the alias Chet Haze, added, “Then Drake said, ‘You got small feet ’cause you’re like 6 feet tall or something.” And then Kendrick said, “You’re a deadbeat dad and made fun of his Canadian accent.”
But that didn’t even matter because then Kendrick dropped another West Coast banger where he really went into labeling Drake a pedophile, which was pretty much the sonic equivalent of when you took me to your high school in Oakland and we walked into the basketball game and everyone started going crazy.
“Like if you heard it, you’d just automatically know how to walk Crip with a stinky face while holding an Oscar in each hand with Marshawn Lynch, then pat him down and tell him ‘Town Bidness,’ which won’t just win for Kendrick but also confirmed for him. the entire West Coast.”
Tom replied, “Holy cow! Those are fighting words! People taking sides?? Who’s winning???’ with Chet replying, “Didn’t you just read what I said,” followed by three crying laughing emojis.

Canadian rapper Drake and American musician Kendrick, arguably two of the world’s biggest hip-hop voices, have been embroiled in a raging rivalry for years – which recently flared up after the two released a slew of shocking diss tracks about each other.
They started out as friends and even collaborated on each other’s records in their early career.
The rap rivals even happily toured together in 2012 on Drake’s $42.6 million-grossing, 65-date Club Paradise Tour.
But things seemed to turn sour in 2013, when Kendrick mentioned Drake in his song Control.
