Drake is back on road.
After postponing a pair of shows due to an unexpected illness, the 6 God returned to New Orleans for his “Aubrey and the Three Migos Tour” on Monday night—and he brought some special guests with him.
NOLA’s own Big Freedia hit the stage at the Smoothie King Center to assist Drake on his bounce-filled smash “Nice for What.” Rocking fluorescent rainbow hair, Freedia also performed part of “Gin In My System” as the crowd erupted in cheers.
Following the show, a grateful Freedia reflected on the moment. “Tonight was amazing thank you @champagnepapi for allowing me to do my thang on stage with you tonight!!” she said.

Yung Miami of the City Girls also joined Drizzy in the Big Easy for their No. 1 smash “In My Feelings,” which spent 10 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 before being dethroned by Maroon 5 and Cardi B’s “Girls Like You.”
“@champagnepapi just brung me out tonight in New Orleans I’m shook!!!!!!!!!!!!” said Caresha. “Last night was the HIGHLIGHT Of my 2018.”

That wasn’t all. New Orleans veteran 5th Ward Weebie, whose pioneering sound inspired “Nice for What,” brought it home with his twerk-ready hits.
