OVO Fest Day 2 Recap: Drake Headlines, Lauryn Hill, Usher, 50 Cent, Trey Songz, J. Cole And More Perform [WATCH]

Drake made his hometown proud last night as he headlined Day 2 of his fifth annual OVO Fest.

To kick the festivities off, Jhene Aiko opened up with her hit "Bed Peace."

Aiko's performance was followed by the legendary Lauryn Hill. Her set included a live rendition of hits like "Ready or Not," "Fu-Gee-La" and "Killing Me Softly."

Hill then brought Drizzy out and they performed "Doo Wop (That Thing)" and "Draft Day."

To commemorate the success of OVO Fest over the years, the YMCMB rapper brought his mother, who uses a wheelchair, out on stage. She greeted the crowd, told Drizzy it's "time to go" and that's when the fun really got started.

After a performance of "Bria's Interlude," "Unstoppable," "We Made It" and "Trophies," Trey Songz joined Drake to rock the crowd with "Successful" and "Na Na." Songz returned to the stage later in the show to help out with 50 Cent's song "Smoke."

50 brought Lloyd Banks along for a performance of hits like "In Da Club," "I Get Money" and "Beamer, Benz Or Bentley."

Drizzy's "twin brother" J. Cole hit the stage for a run of songs, including "Can't Get Enough" and "Power Trip."

In between sets, Drake took the opportunity to speak his peace. The Toronto rapper squashed his presumed beef with Kendrick Lamar calling him "one of the hardest n---as out."

He kept the momentum going sharing the stage with OVO Sound signee PartyNextDoor for "West District" and "Recognize."

DJ Khaled followed up with a three song set that included "No New Friends" and "All I Do Is Win."

Tinashe performed her breakout hit "2 On" alongside Drake and OB OBrien. YG graced the stage for a second night for a performance of "Who Do You Love?" and Majid Jordan lent his vocals for "Hold On, We're Going Home."

The "Climax" of the night though may have been Usher's surprise performance. The veteran performer serenaded the crowd with "Good Kisser," "Confessions" and "U Don't Have To Call."

Drake even mentioned he and Usher are working together on the singer's new album.

At the end of the set, Drake attempted to recruit NBA star Kevin Durant to the Toronto Raptors.

"Before we leave, my brother Kevin Durant was kind enough to come to the show to watch," he said. "I just want to see what would happen if he played in Toronto."
