‘Boy Meets World’ meets Copenhagen! And no, we’re not talking about the TV show!

The acclaimed Canadian rap singer Drake (born Aubrey Drake Graham) started his European tour early this year and is now heading to Copenhagen.

Known for hits such as ‘One Dance’ and ‘Hotline Bling’, and of course his appearance in the video for ‘Work’, a mega hit for ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Drake will introduce songs from his new album Views, a massive success on Apple Music where it became the first to notch up 1 billion streams.

Be ready to go ‘Zero to 100’ and remember: YOLO!
