Champagne Papi is coming to Houston and he’s bringing the biggest trio along with him! Drake, whose real name is Aubrey and Instagram name is Champagne Papi, and the Migos are the hottest rap stars in the game right now, so it’s only right that they’re touring together! Drake actually introduced the rap trio to a bigger audience than they had before when he was featured on their single Versace in 2013. Drake is also featured on the Migos album latest album, Culture 2. He’s on the hit single, Walk It, Talk It.
Drake started the summer off in a sticky situation. In June, he got caught up in a rap beef with Pusha T. Pusha T took a shot at Drake on his song Infrared when he accused Drake of using a ghostwriter. Drake replied with his own diss track, Duppy Freestyle, but Pusha T came back with the blow of all blows. His last diss to Drake, The Story of Adidon, exposed one of the world’s biggest kept secrets. Drake has a son! There had been speculation about Drake having a child, but this diss record was the evidence the world needed. Drake didn’t respond to the diss, but at the end of that month he released his latest album, Scorpion. In his song Emotionless, he replied to Pusha T’s line from The Story of Adidon saying that he was hiding a son, by saying “I wasn’t hiding’ my kid from the world, I was hidin’ the world from my kid.” The secret about Drake having a son took a toll on all of his fans, but those lyrics let him back into all of our hearts. The album Scorpion did great and the song, In My Feelings, was the summer anthem.
Things for the Migos have been going great, they always have a single on the charts and they’re always featured on songs with other artists. Fans can certainly thank Childish Gambino for that! He helped them get their mainstream start when he announced that their song Bad and Bougie was the best song ever at the 2017 Golden Globes. They’ve been shining ever since, LITERALLY. They wear tons of jewelry and their lifestyle is extremely flashy. Although they just dropped Culture 2 in January of this year, it is rumored that each member of the group is working on their own solo projects.
I’ve loved Drake since I first heard Best I Ever Had when I was 13 years old, and I’m a really big fan of Migos as well, but I won’t be able to attend the tour. I’ve been to one Drake concert before when I was in high school, but I’ve never seen Migos perform in person. I’ve seen a few a television performances, and wish that they would have been a little more hype, but I won’t hold them accountable for those performances. Maybe all those diamonds they wear weigh them down. I still would love to see them perform live one day, but this concert came around way too fast for me. One thing that held me back from initially buying tickets to the tour was that when it first started they were having production issues, and Drake just apologized for cancelling two shows on the tour in Miami last week because he was sick. He promised to make those dates up, but those were kind of red flags for me. I also haven’t heard very good things about how the Migos behave when it comes to their fans. One of my friends said they were rude when she saw them at a club appearance in Vegas, and one fan complained to Instagram about how she’s been a fan of Migos since the very beginning. She bought meet and greet tickets to the tour, and was rushed to take the picture and didn’t even get the chance to hold a conversation with the rap group that she adored so much. Quavo, one of the members, of the group apologized and provided her with meet and greet tickets to another show. Hopefully everyone on this tour can get all these kinks worked out, so they can give their fans a great experience. If anyone is still looking to purchase tickets for the shows in Houston, you still can. They have three shows at the Toyota Center on September 29th and 30th, and on October 2nd. Tickets can be found on the Ticket Master website. Don’t be boring like me and miss out on all the fun.
