Canadian rapper Drake announced Monday on Instagram stories that he had tested positive for the coronavirus for the second time.

"I am truly devastated to say that I tested positive for Covid and the Young Money Reunion show scheduled for tonight is being rescheduled to the SOONEST date possible," he wrote.

"I will keep the city posted and share the new date whenever we have it locked. Until then I hope everyone stays safe and healthy and I love you all I am so sorry for letting you down on our weekend together and the moment I test negative l will give you everything I got on stage (except the Covid)," the rapper concluded.

The positive test comes days after the rapper performed alongside other Canadian rappers and singers at his "All Canadian North Stars" concert.

Other performers include In Essence, Jully Black, Kardi, Maestro Fresh Wes, and Michie Mee.

He also joined Canadian pop icon Nelly Furtado for her first performance in years, singing along as she performed her 2000 hit song “I’m Like a Bird”.

Drake contracted the virus for the first time in August 2021.

The rapper shared the information after a fan account shared snaps of him rocking a shaved heart into his head with only a faint heart visible.
