As revealed in a Chicago Sun-Times report earlier this month, Sanchez and her cousin shared their own version of the "In My Feelings" challenge to the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital YouTube channel. Then, in a separate clip, Sanchez asked the 6 god to pay her visit for her birthday. "My birthday's this weekend, this Saturday, which your concert is this Saturday, and I love your music," she said. "I was hoping that you could come and cheer me up for my birthday or anytime this week."

Monday, Drake—whose Aubrey & the Three Migos tour hit Chicago Friday and Saturday—shared photos to his Instagram of their meeting. In one photo, Sanchez is pictured rocking a Scorpion hat.

The tour was also hit with its third scheduling hiccup. "Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Aubrey & the Three Migos tour date in Toronto originally scheduled for August 20th is being postponed," a Live Nation rep said Monday. "Tickets will be honored for the new date when announced."

During his Chicago stops over the weekend, Drake notably tossed out a shot at Kanye West, amending the "Kanye dropped" bit in "Know Yourself" to "Kanye flopped."
