Drake has shared a video of himself and The Weeknd backstage during OVO Fest in 2013 in which the two appear to not be on the best of terms. The clip starts with Drake dapping up everyone in the room except for The Weeknd and joking with them about his performance at the festival. Right before it ends, he finally acknowledges The Weeknd's presence.
Fans on social media say it shows that the two haven't been on good terms for years. "You can tell Abel does not fw him lol," one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote in response. Another noted: "Drake a slimey guy. Peep how he cut the footage immediately he acknowledged the weekend and was about to dap him up." Others reflected on how much they've grown over the last decade. "The Weeknd was on the rise back then, and you could just tell he was going to be huge. Seeing this footage now is a reminder of how far he’s come. OVO Fest 2013 was iconic," one fan added.
