Vybz Kartel Gifted OVO Chain By Drake

Share

Canadian superstar Drake gifted Vybz Kartel a custom OVO owl chain to celebrate the dancehall icon’s return to New York after a 20-year hiatus over the weekend.

Kartel rocked the golden, diamond-studded chain while performing two sold-out shows at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

A video soon went viral, showing the “Fever” artiste quoting lines from Drake’s “Back-to-Back” to mark his successful return to the stage.

The gift is a nod to the deep respect between the two artistes. Drake has frequently called Kartel a huge influence on his music, even naming him “one of my biggest inspirations” in a 2016 interview, recognising Kartel’s undeniable impact on dancehall and global music.
