Councillor Norm Kelly (open Norm Kelly's policard) has officially been invited to the 6th annual OVOFest, according to Drake’s Instagram account and much to the delight of many who’ve been keeping an eye on the drama surrounding the rapper and the councillor this week.

It’s not clear whether Kelly will actually be attending. His office could not immediately be reached for confirmation.

In the early hours of Friday, Drake posted a picture of the councillor on his Instagram account, captioned “6th Annual OVO Fest this weekend. @welcomeovo.”

The two have become unlikely allies in recent days, with the Twitter-savvy Ward 40 councillor coming out in full force to support Drake, whom he calls a “Canadian hero,” in Drake’s ongoing Twitter feud with Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill.

The saga started when Meek Mill lashed out on Twitter, accusing Drake of using a ghostwriter.

In an unexpected show of support for the rapper, the 73-year-old Kelly declared that Meek Mill was no longer welcome in Toronto, where he was scheduled to perform with Nicki Minaj the following week. Mill responded saying, “U sound like a thug lol.”

Mill was booed after he showed up almost 90 minutes late, reportedly because he’d been held up at the U.S.-Canada border, at Minaj’s concert on Tuesday night at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre.

Fans hoping for an intense battle between Drake and Mill were left largely disappointed by the one-sided exchange—by Wednesday morning, Mill had yet to respond to two diss tracks, “Charged Up” and “Back to Back,” released by Drake consecutively.

After the second track came out, Kelly posted an image of back-to-back reflections of himself, even though he’d pledged a two-week Twitter vacation.

When Mill’s highly anticipated response emerged online Wednesday night, Kelly was not impressed.

“This is the reason people hire ghostwriters. #WeDidntWannaKnow,” tweeted the councillor, who has won international attention for his part in the feud.

In fact, Twitter Canada declared Friday that Kelly has collected 65,000 new followers on Twitter in July, calling it #SummerofNorm.

Drake seemed to agree with Kelly’s tweet. He uploaded a photo of himself laughing at something on his phone.

OVOFest, a festival organized by Drake for the sixth year in a row, runs Saturday through Monday at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, featuring performances from the rapper himself, J. Cole, Big Sean, YG, and surprise guests.
