Sexyy Red joined Drake at the Wireless Festival

Sexyy Red was one of the many artists whom Drake invited to perform with him when he headlined the Wireless Festival for three nights on July 11, 12, and 13 at Finsbury Park in London. Red joined the Canadian rapper for the second night, performing her hit songs such as SkeeYee, Pound Town, and Get It Sexyy.

The two rappers also performed their joint song Rich Baby Daddy, from Drake's 2023 album For All The Dogs, which also featured SZA. According to Hot97, Drake spoke about his friendship with Red during the Wireless Festival performance, calling her one of his closest friends. He also thanked her for always checking in on him during the past year.

Meanwhile, Red lavished praise on her frequent collaborator, stating that nobody could ever make her hate him. On July 18, a week after the Wireless Festival performance, Red wrote on X:

"They could never convince me to hate you @Drake."

In another post, she described Drake as a "gentleman" to her and her friends while commenting on a viral video of them having shots at 9 am during Drake's Wealth and Hellness retreat following the Wireless Festival.

Drake and Sexyy Red have collaborated multiple times since the latter gained mainstream success in the 2020s. She was also among the first artists to release a song with Drake following his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar in 2024. The two collaborated on Red's U My Everything, released in May 2024.

Lamar also name-dropped Red in his Drake diss track, Euphoria, released in April 2024. In the diss, Lamar insinuated that Drake looked at other women as competition, rapping:

"When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad b****hes/ I believe you don't like women, it's real competition, you might pop a** with 'em."

According to Complex, Drake seemingly referenced the line during his December 2024 livestream with Adin Ross while talking about his friendship with the St. Louis rapper, saying, "When I see her, I see two bad ones."
