Toronto-born rapper Drake shocked the masses with a surprise concert on Sunday night at Nathan Phillips Square.

City Hall has hosted numerous events for the Canada 150 celebrations, including fireworks and concerts every night in the square. Acts have included Barenaked Ladies, the Born Ruffians, Ron Sexsmith, Shad and Buffy Sainte-Marie. However, Drake was never announced as being a participant.

The R&B duo dvsn performed Sunday evening as planned, and instead of a full concert, gave fans a shorter set to make time for Drake’s appearance on stage.

The duo shares a Toronto producer with Drake and is also part of Drake’s OVO Sound label.

A photo from the stage showing Drake watching the evening fireworks at City Hall was later posted on his Instagram page.

Fans at the square took to Twitter to share their surprise and excitement, while other fans also took to Twitter to share their dismay that they had missed it.

Drake is next scheduled to perform in Toronto on August 7 at the Budweiser Stage.
