Anonymous
Drake surprised fans at Karol G’s Houston concert, joining her onstage for his 2016 hit “One Dance” and their first live performance of “Ahí,” their recent collaboration. The pair drew an enthusiastic response, adding another moment to their growing musical association; “Ahí” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart. Karol G’s elaborate, tropical-themed show ranged across Latin styles, with dancers, a mariachi group and a set built around her varied catalog. “One Dance,” featuring Wizkid and Kyla, was Drake’s first Hot 100 No. 1 as a lead artist and remains a fixture of his surprise appearances.
