Friday was a busy day for Drake. He released his new album, played a surprise show outside the ACC, and then, unbeknownst to most of his fans, he retreated to La Vie Complex, on Richmond Street West, where he and much of his entourage spent the night at a Views launch party, sponsored by Remy Martin. Things got a little surreal when Justin Bieber took the stage. Here are some photos from the night.

And then they danced. Or hugged. Or something.
