Drake will rap about his humble beginnings during the MTV Video Music Awards this coming Sunday. The Canadian rapper has been added to the performers lineup, and is set to perform his single “Started From The Bottom” off his upcoming album Nothing Was The Same.
The video for the song (which you can see below) is up for two awards – best direction and best hip hop video. This performance will mark the second time Drake appears onstage at the VMAs; in 2010, he performed “Fancy.”
Also set to perform are Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Bruno Mars, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Lady Gaga (who opens the show) and Katy Perry (who will close). There have also been some rumors that Timberlake will reunite with his former 90′s boy band, ‘N Sync. There’s also word that Daft Punk will be taking the stage. Reports started after the electronic duo stood up show host Stephen Cobert. DJ Cassidy will be the event’s official DJ.
The MTV VMAs will air this Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Here’s the video:
And in other Drake news, the rapper has pushed back the release of Nothing Was the Same. It’ll be out on September 24 instead of September 17. There’s no tracklist yet, but the album is said to feature Jay-Z, Hudson Mohawke and, of course, Lil Wayne.
What do you think? Are you excited to see Drake perform?
