Young Money Reunion / Honestly Nevermind Era

Overview

There was no traditional Honestly, Nevermind world tour — Drake instead anchored the album's live moment around an OVO Fest 2022 weekend in Toronto that became one of the most-discussed standalone live events of his career. The centerpiece was the August 1, 2022 Young Money Reunion show at Budweiser Stage and Scotiabank Arena, which after a weather-delayed false start finally landed with Drake, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj sharing a stage for the first time in years. Across the weekend, Drake also previewed Honestly, Nevermind's house and Jersey club material live for the first time — 'Sticky,' 'Massive,' 'Falling Back,' 'Jimmy Cooks' with 21 Savage as a surprise guest — alongside a catalog medley. Chris Brown joined for a 'No Guidance' segment that drew major attention. The event functioned as a hybrid festival/residency, with multiple nights of different programming, and OVO framed it explicitly as a substitute for a full headline tour during a year when Drake was prioritizing release cadence (Honestly, Nevermind in June 2022, Her Loss in November) over road work. The Young Money Reunion footage was later partially released by OVO as a streaming concert film.
