Nine Best Moments From Drake & J. Cole’s It’s All a Blur – Big as the What? Tour Opening Night in Tampa


Drake and J. Cole kicked off their dream tour with swagger Friday night (Feb. 2) in Tampa, Fla.

Social media star BenDaDonn — who previously made skits with Drake on Instagram — joined in on the fun, playing the role of a reporter, giving play-by-play moments, one that included announcing the start of J.
