Drake brought out J Hus on stage at the O2 tonight to shocked fans, following the UK rapper’s early release from prison.
Concert-goers were left surprised to see the 23-year-old on stage as it was not known that the Bouff Daddy star had been released from jail already.
The moment has led many social media users to call for a knighthood for Drake, with a number of music-lovers branding the Canadian ‘more British than others.’
Hus, real name Momodou Jallow, was jailed in December after pleading guilty to possession of a knife and was set to be released in August 2019.
Hus made his grand re-entrance on the fourth of Drake’s six night run at the venue performing his hit song Did You See with the words ‘welcome home’ beneath his feet.
Before the Londoner approached the stage, Drake teased the crowd and said: ‘If anybody is sitting down right now, I need you to stand up because we are about to celebrate one of our brothers tonight.’
Now his re-emergence – at one of the biggest shows in London – has sent Twitter into a meltdown as J Hus immediately trended on Friday night.
One user wrote: ‘Drake was really the one to tell me that J Hus is back home.’

‘@Drake got J Hus out for his show before we knew he was home. Show me a person who thinks he can’t solve brexit and I’ll show you a liar,’ said another baffled user.
‘Nah Drake just bought of out J Hus, this f***s more British than the queen,’ a Twitter user joked.
One fan made good use of their caps lock key and screamed: ‘AS IF DRAKE HAS JUST BROUGHT OUT J HUS. GIVE THAT MAN A BRITISH PASSPORT.’
And a follower summed things up by posting: ‘I think Drake needs to be knighted by our monarchy Giggs for bringing out J Hus.’
J Hus denied possession of a lock knife in a public place during a court appearance in July, last year.
However, he changed his plea in October and later pleaded guilty to the charge of possessing a knife near Westfield shopping centre in Stratford, east London.
J Hus gained attention in 2015 with his song Dem Boy Paigon, with his debut album Common Sense reached number six in the charts.
Last year, he was nominated for three Brit Awards in the British breakthrough act, British album and British single categories.
