AceShowbiz - On Saturday night, November 2, renowned music producer Jermaine Dupri took to social media to express his surprise that Drake had not attended Lil Wayne's WeezyAna Fest in New Orleans. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Dupri wrote, "I can't believe [Drake] missed that. Couldn't have been me."

Dupri's sentiments were echoed by fans in the replies, who criticized Drake for not supporting Wayne's reunion with his former Hot Boys bandmates. One user wrote, "This was a big moment for Young Money... Not very hip hop."

However, others pointed out that Drake's role as a "Global Ambassador" for the Toronto Raptors required him to be present for Vince Carter's jersey retirement ceremony, which coincided with the festival.

While attending the Raptors game, Drake sparked controversy by making disparaging remarks about former Raptor DeMar DeRozan during a broadcast segment. He labeled DeRozan a "goof" and threatened to remove his banner if it were ever hung.

Meanwhile, at Lil WeezyAna Fest, Wayne addressed the NFL's decision to choose Kendrick Lamar over him for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. The festival also saw Wayne receive a key to New Orleans and the first star on the city's Walk of Fame.

Despite Drake's absence, the festival was a major success, honoring Wayne's legacy and serving as a celebration for the New Orleans community.
