When Drake pulled a fan named Julia on stage during “Yebba’s Heartbreak,” something electric happened. It wasn’t just a hug; it was the start of a modern-day Cinderella story. Now, the rapper is on a public mission to reconnect with Julia, a “special spirit” she lost in the crowd. Could this be the sweetest game of “Where’s Waldo?” ever? Absolutely.  

Drake: “She’s a Special Spirit”  

According to Billboard, on night two of his performance in Amsterdam, the rapper-singer brought Julia to the stage but lost her to the crowd after. In an Instagram video posted by @somespecialshows4utour and @certifieddrakefan, Drizzy posted a comment and asked fans to help him find her. He wrote, “Need to find her man, she’s a special spirit. I lost her in the crowd after.”  

After the hug, Drake addressed the crowd: “Make some noise for her one time. She needed a hug. This is Julia, everybody. This is my new friend right here. Make some noise for Julia. That’s what you gotta do sometimes. You gotta show love.”  

At one point in his performance, he also picked up a Canadian flag from a fan and showed the crowd, “You trying to make me feel like I’m at home, huh?”  

“The Best Vibe”  

In a now-deleted Instagram story, the rapper posted “Julia, we need you back at the next show, you are the best vibe find us cause we can’t find you,” per Complex.  

Drake is expected to release his ninth studio album, Iceman, later this year. The album follows Some Sexy Songs 4 U, his collaborative album with PartyNextDoor, released in February. Iceman marks his first full-length solo album after 2023’s For All the Dogs. To promote the upcoming release, Drake has already dropped two singles: “What Did I Miss” and “Which One.”
