Drake ‘s love letter to London reached its climax Saturday night (July 12) when he performed night 2 of his Wireless Festival 2025 takeover. His second outing of the weekend had a grittier tone as he sought to abandon the melodies that had fans swaying Friday night and return to his punishing ways.

Speaking to the packed crowd, Drake praised London's rap scene. He said the world's best lyricists come from the UK's capital. While not putting down US artists, he highlighted the high skill level he sees in UK hip hop from London's varied music landscape.

The surprise highlight of the night was Drake bringing out Lauryn Hill, whose performance of "Ex factor" transitioned into Drake rapping his 2018 hit single "Nice For What," which samples the single from Hill's 1998 Grammy Award-winning album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, for his finale.
