No Government Funding for 2015 OVO Fest

ovo_laDrake’s 2015 OVO Fest will be privately funded this year.

This after he was given $300,000 in provincial government funding to put on the popular festival. Celebrate Ontario released its 2015 events list and noticeably absent was OVO Fest. According to Celebrate Ontario the grants given out are meant to, ““enhance programs, activities and services that will lead to long-term improvements. This support helps grow tourism in the province by making it easier for festival and event organizers to offer new and improved experiences that will attract more tourists and increase visitor spending.”

This change will probably pose no issue to Drake. According to Forbes, his worth is in the neighborhood of $30 million.

Along with OVO Fest, Drake will also headline Coachella this weekend and perform at Governor’s Ball and London’s Wireless Festival.
