Norm Kelly joins Drake onstage at surprise Ryerson frosh concert
Thousands cheered as Drake brought Norm Kelly to stage
Ryerson University's incoming class had arguably the best frosh week concert of the year, when rap superstar Drake showed up for a surprise performance Friday and was joined onstage by Toronto city councillor and Drake superfan Norm Kelly.

—@RUStudentLifeSuspicions of a Drake appearance began mounting three days ago when the rapper posted a photo on his Instagram. The photo was a sign that said, "If you're reading this, it's your time to lead. Welcome Yonge 6 gods." It was written in the same script as Drake's album If You're Reading This, It's Too Late.

The response to Drake and Kelly was, unsurprisingly, enormous.
