Drake was spotted exiting his New York City hotel with fellow music artist and collaborator 21 Savage ahead of their weekend residency at The Apollo.

The 36-year-old actor-turned-musician and 30-year-old rapper are set to perform back-to-back shows on Saturday and Sunday after the performances were postponed three times.

It comes as the former Young Money artist recovers from an ankle surgery performed at Atria NY.

The musical duo were headed to rehearse for their imminent gig, which will feature them performing live music from their popular album Her Loss, which came out last November.

Drake was stylishly casual in a crew neck white top and dark bomber jacket as he kept both hands in its pockets.

His curly afro was neatly braided in four, sectioned by precise parts that went straight back.

He added a pair of khaki-colored pants and walked in light-hued furry designer shoes as he rocked a glinting chain around his neck.

For his part, 21 Savage was also casual as he opted for a blue Gucci sweatshirt, pulling its hood over his locked hair.

He added red sweatpants to complement the hoodie’s red print and graphics, and coordinated with matching blue sneakers.

The rap star carried a black backpack on his pack and held an object wrapped in white paper in his hands.

Fresh take: Drake was later seen exiting the hotel again, switching up his look after changing into a white pullover top

Drake was later seen exiting the hotel again, switching up his look after changing into a white pullover top.

It had a short zip-up center, which gave way to a turtleneck collar and the cuffs and hemline were cinched.

The iconic music maker paired it with a pair of baggy, light wash blue jeans, rounding out the ensemble with stark white sneakers.

Drake — full name Aubrey Drake Graham — also added a pair of square-shaped transparent eyeglasses.

In good spirits: On Friday Drake took to Instagram to show appreciation for the stellar treatment he received at Atria

On Friday Drake took to Instagram to show appreciation for the stellar treatment he received at Atria.

Sharing with his 129 million followers, he posted photos from his stay at the medical institute.

He wrote, ‘Thank you Atria NY for the best healthcare experience I have ever had…let’s see what I can do on this piece of sh** ankle Saturday.’

The first image in the carousel showed him in a black sweater with the designer initials YSL printed in blue.

He topped it with a black puffer bomber jacket and deep, indigo blue denim jeans.

The Atria website touts that it ‘provides coordinated health care and comprehensive testing to enable a highly personalized approach to well-being.’

The site also says that its ‘personal, proactive, preventative care’ is ‘the future of today.’

Graham’s ankle injury stems back to 2016, when he posted an apology to fans in three U.S. cities where he canceled Summer Sixteen concerts due to the wound.

And according to The Source, he was also hospitalized in 2020 as a result of issues with the same ankle.

The show was originally scheduled for November 11, but was rescheduled after the sudden death of rapper Takeoff, who Drake had toured and collaborated with in the past.
