Homegrown megastar Drake made quite the scene at the CNE on Thursday night, and proved an unexpected highlight attraction for attendees of the annual Toronto summer tradition.
And despite the recording artist's multi-platinum pedigree, he was showing off a very different kind of metal at The Ex.
Drake was spotted strolling along the CNE midway wearing a full-on Iron Man suit, drawing throngs of onlookers as he moved through the crowded Exhibition grounds.

Dozens of social media users have shared videos of Drake in costume as the eccentric billionaire superhero, including clips that appear to show further context of a video shoot.

As someone who breaks a sweat walking the midway even wearing a T-shirt and shorts, I, for one, commend Drake's resilience for enduring a summer crowd scene wearing a fully enclosed Iron Man getup.
The CNE appearance follows a series of increasingly cryptic and bizarre album promotional stunts ahead of the May 2026 drop of Drake's Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti albums, and the 39-year-old artist has been teasing another album drop expected in the coming months.
