Drake launched the Anita Max Wynn Tour in Australia on Tuesday (Feb. 4), kicking off in Perth, and he left the audience with some choice words to close out the first show.

The 6 God is always one to end a set with some inspiration for fans, and he’s typically very intentional with what he says. Drake made sure to let the OVO faithful know he’s still “very much alive” as he continues to trek across Australia.


“My name is Drake. I started in 2008, I came all the way from Toronto, Canada,” he said in video captured by fans. “The year is now 2025, and Drizzy Drake is very much still alive.”

It appears Drake’s closing remarks could be his response to coming off a rocky 2024 and his feud with Kendrick Lamar, who won five Grammy Awards for the Drizzy diss track “Not Like Us” over the weekend.

Drake continued his tour tradition of walking through the crowd to get to the stage. Fan footage emerged of Drizzy heading in with Chubbs as the instrumental to “Over My Dead Body” rang off in the background.

Some fans took Drake’s fashion choices as symbolic, with the OVO honcho rocking a hoodie riddled with holes across it. “Hoodie is symbolic,” one person commented on IG. “They emptied the clip but he still standing.”

The Anita Max Wynn Tour continues on Wednesday (Feb. 5) with another showing in Perth before heading to Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland, New Zealand. It’s Drake’s first show run back in Australia since 2017.
