For his upcoming tour, Drake will be performing in Des Moines, Iowa, home to the Drake University. And the university couldn’t help noting the connection, Entertainment Weekly reported.
The university released a statement on Friday about the tour dates, full of references to the rapper’s music:
Drake University students have lobbied for years to #BringDrakeToDrake, and we’re eager to welcome this talented singer and songwriter to our hometown. We would like to take this opportunity to invite Drizzy for a tour of campus, where we’re confident he will enjoy the “Views.” Just as Mr. Graham has skyrocketed to the height of fame, our University started from the bottom in 1881 and rose to become one of the nation’s top-ranked private universities. Should he wish to take us up on our offer (because YOLO), Drake can reach our Admissions office at 1-800-44-DRAKE x3181. We’ll be waiting for that hotline to bling!
The performance is set for October 4 at the Iowa Events Center as one of the new dates added for Drake’s Summer Sixteen Tour with Future. The university hopes Drake will take some time out of his busy schedule to stop by campus though. His schedule is a packed one however, with Chicago’s performance set for October 5 and Montreal’s for October 7.
