Drake's triple-headlining set at London's Wireless Festival had several surprise elements that the rapper's fans couldn't have seen coming. One of them was Drizzy bringing out the pianist and singer-songwriter, Vanessa Carlton.
Carlton's live performance of her superhit, Grammy-nominated song, A Thousand Miles, on Wireless's stage left the audience shocked, including Dre London, Post Malone's manager.
On Tuesday, July 15, an X page that goes by @viraldrizzy shared a video with Dre London's reaction to watching Carlton perform A Thousand Miles during Drizzy's set on TV. London was heard saying:
"No, Drake did not bring her out. No way! This is genius. Just wait for the crown... I'm gonna say it on camera. I'm trying to tell you. They don't do it like my brother!"After her performance, Vanessa shared a heartfelt Instagram post with a video of the moment. She thanked Drake for inviting her to his show and for his kind introduction, saying she’s been a fan of the In My Feelings rapper “since the beginning.”
