The rapper just closed out his seven-day residency at London's O2 arena which switched their name to the O3 for the rapper's string of shows. Over the past several shows, he's brought out a slew of guests and to close it out, he brought out J. Cole.

"Top 5, if not, God damn arguably the best rapper to ever come in this motherf*cker," Cole said on stage with his arm around Drizzy. "Watching your show tonight, god damn."

Drake shared his praise for Cole right after. "When I think of all my earliest memories there was always one guy that was always right there doing the same thing as me. Taking care of his people, showin' love," he said about Cole. "This man right here. He hasn't changed since the first day I met him."

Adding, "I can't wait to make some new music with you. I know we been working. I can't wait to let the people hear it."
