Drake's headlining set at London's Wireless Festival included a surprise appearance by Lauryn Hill, marking a blend of two generations of cultural influence. Hill performed "Ex-Factor," transitioning into Drake's "Nice for What," which samples the 1998 hit. Drake curated each night of the festival around a different theme, with the first night celebrating R&B and melodies. Other guests on Friday included Mario, Bobby Valentino, Bryson Tiller, and Giveon. Wireless Festival, owned and managed by Live Nation, has been an annual event in London since 2005. Originally featuring rock and pop acts, it shifted its focus to hip-hop and urban contemporary music in the 2010s. Past headliners include Rihanna, Jay-Z and Cardi B. Hill's debut album, *The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill*, released in 1998, has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. It was certified Diamond in 2021 for 10 million U.S. sales, making Hill the first female hip-hop artist to achieve this. At the 41st Annual Grammy Awards, the album earned 10 nominations and won five awards. Drake's three-night headlining run was a first for any artist at Wireless. He signed a multi-million pound deal to perform. However, his final set was cut short to 40 minutes due to a strict curfew, disappointing some fans. The second night shifted to a rap focus, featuring Skepta, Latto, Sexyy Redd and 21 Savage. Vanessa Carlton also made a surprise appearance, performing her 2002 hit "A Thousand Miles". Lauryn Hill took to Instagram to thank Drake for the invitation to perform at Wireless. Wireless Festival 2025 marked the event's 20th anniversary.
