A video of Drake seemingly ignoring singer The Weeknd backstage at the 2013 OVO Fest has gone viral.
In the clip, Drake is seen warmly greeting several people backstage as The Weeknd awkwardly looks on.
Drake eventually acknowledges the singer and gives him a dap, but that was after almost a minute of not acknowledging him at all. The video then cuts.

Fans were quick to weigh in.
“Drake a slimey guy Peep how he cut the footage immediately he acknowledged the weekend and was about to dap him up,” one viewer said.
“The Weeknd was on the rise back then, and you could just tell he was going to be huge. Seeing this footage now is a reminder of how far he’s come. OVO Fest 2013 was iconic,” another added.
“Drake is so corny. I’m glad The Weeknd didn’t sign and ended up being as big as he is,” somebody else chimed in.
Drake and The Weeknd collaborated regularly together in the 2010s but things took a turn when The Weeknd reportedly refused to sing with Drizzy’s OVO label.
