Unfortunately, Lil’ Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake will not be able to reunite on stage for a special Young Money showcase this August. The Toronto native announced that the show would not take place as scheduled because he recently tested positive for COVID-19.
“I am truly devastated to say that I tested positive for [COVID-19] and the Young Money Reunion show scheduled for tonight is being rescheduled to the soonest date possible,” Drake wrote on Instagram.
“I will keep the city posted and share the new date whenever we have it locked. Until then I hope everyone stays safe and healthy and I love you all I am so sorry for letting you down on our weekend together and the moment I test negative I will give you everything I got on stage.”

Lil’ Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj were scheduled to wrap up October World Weekend with a joint performance at Budweiser Stage. Fortunately, the Young Money reunion showcase will be rescheduled for a later date. Drake has also teased a Young Money reunion tour.
