The Iceman has finally thawed. Drake made a surprise appearance at Don Toliver’s Toronto concert on Monday night (Aug. 31), as the rapper brought the OCTANE World Tour north of the border.
The audience erupted as Drake stepped out from the Mount Wilson Observatory-inspired structure to “Shabang.” Monday night marked the first occasion Drizzy performed tracks from his Billboard 200-topping ICEMAN album in an arena setting.
The 6 God also had the Scotiabank Arena crowd buzzing as he performed “Janice STFU,” which opened at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, along with “Burning Bridges.” After the ICEMAN medley, the Cactus Jack rapper praised Drake for inspiring him and helping push hip-hop forward as a whole.
“I appreciate you for inspiring us all,” Toliver said. “You know damn well this shit wouldn’t be this s–t if you ain’t do this s–t, bro. I appreciate you so much. You inspired me, and you inspired all of us. Thank you so much for pulling up on me.”
Drake reciprocated by showing appreciation for the Houston native and spoke about getting the opportunity to give ICEMAN its first live test drive, offering fans a preview of what they can expect when Drizzy eventually returns to the road for another tour.
“I just wanna thank Don for having me out tonight. This is my first time performing the album since it dropped, so thank you for being here,” he said. “Look, I love this thing that we do so much in front of the city, I just want to thank you for keeping this s–t alive. You’ve had an incredible year.”
Don Toliver launched 2026 with his OCTANE album in January, earning his first No. 1 record on the Billboard 200. The Nitrous leg of his OCTANE World Tour is set to continue with performances in University Park, Pa. (Penn State), Philly, Boston and Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, Drake fans are still awaiting the 6 God’s first North American tour since the 2023 It’s All a Blur Tour. In May, he became the first artist in history to occupy the top three positions on the Billboard 200 at the same time, thanks to ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR.
Drizzy also does not appear to be finished yet, as he has been teasing another project called FOMO, which he could release before the end of the year.
