Mayor Of Toronto to give Drake The Key To The City

Tomorrow, John Tory, the current mayor of Toronto, will present Drake with the key to the city. He made the announcement today via a video post on Twitter, in which he explained why the OVO rapper is worthy of "the highest honor we can give." 



"When we give out the key to the city, we want it to be something really special," Tory said to begin his announcement.

"I believe the key should go to individuals who make people across the city feel good about themselves and about their city. It should make us proud of who we are and what we can achieve. I want these moments to inspire us, as a city, and to send a real message: Toronto can do great things." 

Clearly the mayor believes Drake has instilled the above message within his fellow Torontonians, as does Toronto city councillor Norm Kelly, who has become something of a Twitter celebrity with his meme-ready support of Drake (and rampant agitation of Meek). 

It just so happens that Drake anticipated this very event with his new single, "Summer Sixteen," on which he raps, "I might get a key to the city and give it to Wayne / Or give it to one of the young boys to carry the wave." Perhaps Mayor Tory should rethink his decision?
