The rapper would then move to New Zealand where he has two shows scheduled in Auckland on March 15 and March 16, thus ending the 16-day tour. On the first show in Perth, the rapper addressed the audience and seemingly referred to his beef with Kendrick Lamar. Drizzy said:

"My name is Drake. I started in 2008, I came all the way from Toronto, Canada. The year is now 2025, and Drizzy Drake is very much still alive."

He also made a remarkable entry wearing a bullet hole-filled hoodie with smoke coming out of his back. As per reports by Complex, the entry which was also backed by Over My Dead Body instrumental, was a statement that he was still standing strong after the sensational beef with Kendrick.

During the tour, the rapper performed several tracks including Headlines, IDGAF, Rich Flex, Girls Want Girls, and The Motto. His next show is set to be held in Sydney on Thursday, February 20, 2025.

The tour has been going on around the time that the much anticipated Super Bowl Halftime Show took place in New Orleans, where Kendrick Lamar headlined it.
