Drake's Saturday performance served as a love letter to the U.K., which he considers to be the preeminent hip-hop country.

Following an R&B-driven concert during Night 1 of Wireless Fest, Drake dialed up the intensity and calls on his London dogs for a fiery second night.

Drake's remarks came after Skepta dropped a diss track called "Friendly Fire," which took aim at American rapper Joyner Lucas. This song was Skepta's answer to a challenge he started online asking for a lyrical showdown between UK and US rappers.
