With Drake’s backstage area at the Dubai International Stadium on Saturday tightly guarded, no journalists could sneak in to interview the rapper.
However, Virgin Radio radio announcer Kris Fade was officially hosting the concert so he managed to grab a few minutes with the Canadian after his well received performance.
Speaking to The National, Fade said the love between the UAE and Drake goes both ways. He also confirmed Drake will be in town until Tuesday, March 17. "It was very brief, but I can tell you that he is genuinely a nice dude," Fade said. "He has more plans to come back to Dubai. He told me that it was one of the best cities he ever travelled to and he flew in his friends with him because he used to talk to them about performing in Dubai back in the day. "He was super impressed with everything and the hospitality and it is true that he is thinking of buying a place over here."
