Drake to co-host The 1Xtra Rap Show with Tiffany Calver

Canadian rapper Drake will turn radio host to front the 1Xtra Rap Show with Tiffany Calver this weekend.

Calver is currently touring with Drake as part of his European Assassination Vacation tour which saw him perform six nights at London’s O2, which was renamed the O3 in his honour.

“We’ll talk about tour, we’ll play some games, we’ll play some music – it’s going to be a vibe,” Calver said of Drake’s 1Xtra appearance.

A teaser clip shows the pair joking about the last celebrity who messaged them as well as singing Ramz’s Barking.

Calver opened up about touring with Drake on Greg James’ Radio 1 Breakfast Show, describing the experience to hanging out with your “nan”.

“There’s nobody else on the planet you’d probably want to tour with,” she said.

“Me and Nick Grimshaw were talking about it the other day, it’s like all these fancy candles and pinot grigio. It’s like touring with your nan. It’s great.”

Calver took over the 1Xtra Rap Show from Charlie Sloth in January, making her the hip-hop show’s first female presenter.

Drake co-hosts The 1Xtra Rap Show with Tiffany Calver on Saturday, April 13 from 9pm. Listen on Radio 1 and 1Xtra
