Drizzy already has some big things ready for 2019.

It's been yet another successful year for Drake. The Canadian rapper kicked off his campaign for world domination with "God's Plan," the lead single off of Scorpion. The album and the single have gone on to top year-end lists of both Spotify and Apple Music. Even though he's ending the year on a good note, he's clearly planning to carry that momentum in 2019. The rapper has been tapped to perform during Las Vegas' annual Consumers Electronics Show.

Drake will be holding it down at XS Nightclub in Las Vegas during CES weekend. The rapper will be performing on Jan. 10th at the venue which lands in the middle of the annual electronics trade show. 

"We are preparing for one of the biggest weeks in Las Vegas with an unforgettable performance by Drake at XS Nightclub," Wynn Nightlife managing partner Alex Cordova told Hollywood Reporter. "Wynn is thrilled to partner with Drake during CES. He is one of the most recognizable artists ever to perform at XS, setting the bar for what to expect from Wynn Nightlife in 2019."

However, this show might not be the only show Drake has scheduled. According to Las Vegas Review-Journal, sources close to XS's bookings said that Drake agreed to do a 12-show series at the club over the course of two years. The Chainsmokers and Diplo also had residencies at this venue.

Neither Drake or XS has confirmed the residency. However, a spokeswoman for the club confirmed Drake's is only confirmed to play the Jan. 10th show, saying, "We look forward to the opportunity to discuss more performances for the future.”
