The tour’s name directly references the chorus of their collaborative track, “First Person Shooter.” When the record dropped, people immediately began comparing Drake and Cole’s verses, with many saying Cole washed the OVO boss on his own record. Cole addressed the criticism –which was led by Drake’s frenemy Joe Budden— on Lil Yachty’s A Safe Space podcast, thinking Drake’s goal on that song wasn’t to have a better verse but a more cohesive song. “In that moment, [Drake] chose the song over the competition and what they (journalists and fans) gonna say,” he explained. “And that takes a level of egolessness that’s… you’re putting your ego to the side and like, ‘Yo, I wanna make the best song. For what we have available right now, I wanna make the best song.’ Maybe he knew the narrative might come out… Drake ain’t looking at it like, ‘I’m a take Cole’s f-ckin’ head off at some point.’ Nah.” The tour proves to be the first way Drake plans to stay top of mind after announcing he’d be taking a break from music after dropping four projects —Certified Lover Boy, Honestly, Nevermind, Her Loss, and For All The Dogs— in four years. “I’m a lock the door on the studio for a little bit. Maybe a year or something … maybe a little longer,” he said on his SiriusXM radio show, Table for One, citing stomach issues. Still, fans are excited they still get to see the Boy and Cole on the road in the coming months. See the reactions below.
