Drake took his ongoing feud with Meek Mill to another level in Toronto last night (3 August) when he performed his two new diss tracks alongside a string of memes making fun of the rapper, during a performance in which he also brought out Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and more.

Though the pair collaborated on Meek Mill's single 'R.I.C.O.' earlier this year, their relationship quickly soured when Mill tweeted, "Stop comparing drake to me too.... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out!"

Drake responded by releasing a surprise new song, aimed at his former collaborator, which included the lyrics, "Wow, I’m honored that you think this is staged / I’m flattered man, in fact, I’m amazed / The perfect start to the summer, man this shit is a doozy /This shit a twist in the movie but don't jump to conclusions."

After Meek described the track as "baby lotion soft," Drake swiftly followed this up with a second diss track, 'Back To Back', on which he rapped, "You love her, then you gotta give the world to her / Is that a world tour or your girl's tour? / I know that you gotta be a thug for her /This ain't what she meant when she told you to open up more" - referencing the fact that Meek is supporting his girlfriend Nicki Minaj on tour.

Last night, Drake performed at Toronto's OVO Fest, and opened his set with the two aforementioned diss tracks, as numerous memes bashing Meek flashed up on screen. One of those included a Participation Award certificate for his recent response track 'Wanna Know'. 

Also during the set, Kanye West appeared on-stage to perform his own 12-song mini set, with Drake joining him for their recent track 'Blessings'. Later, Pharrell appeared to perform 'Get Lucky' with Drake.

As a final kick in the teeth, Drake concluded the set with his Meek Mill collaboration 'R.I.C.O.'
