Drake Speaks on Fake Friends During Nostalgia Party in Toronto
"You're gonna come to a point in life where people you thought were friends or people you thought were close to you...they might stab you in the back," the superstar told the crowd in a special appearance at Rebel nightclub, where he also introduced Mario and gave an update on his album with PartyNextDoor.

Drake had some choice words for fake friends in a special Toronto appearance this weekend (Oct. 5).
Introducing R&B hitmaker Mario at the throwback Nostalgia Party, Drake reflected on how sometimes ride or dies aren't what they seem.
"One thing about nostalgia, this party here, my real friends are definitely in the building," he said, speaking at Toronto's Rebel nightclub, "but I'm gonna tell you, you're gonna come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, or people you thought were close to you, they might switch up, they might try to move funny with you, they might stab you in the back — they might do a lot of things with you," he continued. "Sometimes it's you and you alone by yourself."

The speech comes during a turbulent year for the Toronto superstar, who took some serious blows during a heated beef with Kendrick Lamar, as well as weathering a shooting at his Toronto residence. Previous collaborators like Rick Ross publicly faced off against Drake, while fellow Toronto hitmaker The Weeknd attended Lamar's June Pop Out event.
Others remain close to Drake through the ups and downs, like R&B singer and songwriter PartyNextDoor, who brought out Drake for a surprise R&B set during his Budweiser Stage concert this summer. Drake shouted out Party at Rebel, and said their upcoming collab album is dropping soon.
He also called on his hometown to show some love for Mario, who performed his 2002 hit "Just a Friend."
