Drake's makes reference to he and Mill staying at the same hotel prior to "Back to Back" dropping. He continues, "I let the diss record drop you were standing right below me, n*gga / We must have played it a hundred times, you was going to bed / Why would I put on a vest I expect you to aim for the head? / I coulda killed you the first time / You don't have to try to say it louder n*gga / We could hear you the first time / It's nothing personal I would have done it to anyone."
At the conclusion of the show he left fans know that in honor of his hometown Toronto, he would dropping the album come April 2016. No specific date has been given just yet.
