Champagne Papi is coming back to Tampa.

Four-time Grammy-winning rapper and actor Drake will bring his 2024 tour — titled “It’s All a Blur Tour — Big as the What?” — to Amalie Arena on Friday, Feb. 2, 2024. The tour was announced earlier this week, and due to popular demand, another show was just added for Sunday, Feb. 4.

Rapper and producer J. Cole, who has a Grammy of his own, will open.

Drake, who frequently plays in South Florida, has neglected the Tampa Bay area since his tour with Future in 2016. J. Cole last played Amalie Arena in 2018.
