Drake attended Karol G\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rb-hip-hop\/drake-karol-g-show-toronto-1236306238\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Toronto show in July<\/a>, appearing on the venue\u2019s Jumbotron, and had publicly nodded to her on record before their team-up, name-checking her on \u201cNew Bestie\u201d from his 2026 project Maid of Honour. The pair then released <a data-id=\"1236320190\" data-type=\"post\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/latin\/karol-g-drake-ahi-lyrics-translated-english-1236320190\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cAh\u00ed\u201d<\/a> in August, and the single made an immediate mark on Billboard\u2019s Latin charts. It debuted at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs \u2014 Drake\u2019s fourth leader on the tally \u2014 and gave him his first career No. 1 on Hot Latin Rhythm Songs, a chart he had never previously topped. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tReleased in 2016, \u201cOne Dance\u201d was a career milestone for Drake. Featuring Nigerian star Wizkid and British singer Kyla, it became his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 as a lead artist, spent 10 weeks atop the chart and reigned for years as the most-streamed song in Spotify history. It has since become a staple of his unannounced guest spots, including a surprise set at Vybz Kartel\u2019s Toronto concert last year, where he also performed it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFor Karol G, the moment adds to a genre-reshaping run.
