Lanez and Drake had a well publicized beef over the past year but Lanez’s performance on stage alongside of the Raptors ambassador served notice that the beef was officially over.

The were several players from the Toronto Maple Leafs and Blue Jays spotted amongst the crowd but surprisingly no Raptors players were seen or photographed anywhere near OVO Fest on Monday.
