"Always happy to see people making historic moments for their hometown."

Drake has been throwing OVO Fest in his city for 7 years now, so he knows a successful hometown event when he sees one. Chance The Rapper's very first Magnificent Coloring Day took place in Chicago Saturday, featuring acts like Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Tyler, The Creator, LiL Uzi Vert, and even a very special surprise appearance from Kanye West.

Footage from the show illustrates just how great of a day it was, which comes through particularly well in a clip that shows fans gleefully rushing towards the stage when Kanye showed up. Obviously, it was enough for Drake to give the rapper props on his achievement, throwing up a picture of he, Chance, and Kanye together, writing, "Congrats to@chancetherapper on starting a festival and putting on an incredible show for your city! Always happy to see people making historic moments for their hometown."

Drake and Chance still haven't done a song together, but it seems like a lot has changed since Drake name-dropped the Chicago rapper on a song claiming he didn't know him. "And if I left this shit to chance I would've picked a name like Chance the Rapper / Yeah, no offense cause I don't know that n*gga," he rapped on 2014's "Draft Day."
