J Hus made a surprise appearance on stage with Drake at London\u2019s O2, four months after being jailed for carrying a knife.<\/p>\n

The rapper was sentenced to eight months behind bars in December after he was caught with the weapon at Westfield Shopping Centre in east London.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s served less than half of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re about to celebrate one of our brothers tonight\u201d, Drake told the crowd, before the words \u201cwelcome home\u201d appeared on the stage floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve missed you so much, I swear I missed you so much,\u201d said J Hus as he joined Drake on stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI waited for this all week so I could give you this stage so you can do exactly what you\u2019ve been waiting to do,\u201d said Drake.<\/p>\n

The day after the performance, J Hus shared a video thanking Drake and showing parts of the show and footage of him reuniting with friends.<\/p>\n

A \u2018role model to many\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

J Hus \u2013 real name Momodou Jallow \u2013 was jailed on 14 December 2018 after admitting carrying a knife in a public place.<\/p>\n

Judge Sandy Canavan told the rapper that he was a \u201crole model to many\u201d but \u201cfailed\u201d to leave his past behind him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, in such a young life, is the fourth occasion when you have gone out armed with a knife,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

After previous arrests J Hus said the reason he carried a knife was fear.<\/p>\n

Drake: \u2018We\u2019re so happy to see him home\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the gig, Drake shared a photo of the pair hugging on his Instagram, saying that his 5 April show had a \u201cdifferent energy\u201d because of J Hus\u2019s appearance and that people were \u201ctruly all so happy\u201d to see him home.<\/p>\n

Radio 1 and 1Xtra\u2019s Tiffany Calver, who has been supporting Drake at his O2 shows, tweeted a photo of her and J Hus backstage at the show, repeating Drake\u2019s \u201cwelcome home\u201d message from the performance.<\/p>\n

Will and Libby, a couple who were at the show, tell Newsbeat the atmosphere was \u201cunreal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t realise J Hus was going to be there, loads of people were saying Giggs was going to be there,\u201d said Will.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt absolutely kicked off. The crowd went wild, J Hus and Drake were hugging it out, everyone had a wicked time,\u201d added Libby.<\/p>\n

J Hus said he \u2018was not in the right state of mind\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

During his trial, the court heard J Hus, of Baldwin Drive, Peterborough, was in his car with his girlfriend \u2013 who was driving \u2013 when they were stopped by police officers after they smelt cannabis.<\/p>\n

When asked whether he was carrying anything he shouldn\u2019t, he revealed he was carrying a 10cm folding knife.<\/p>\n

During court hearings, J Hus apologised and said he \u201cfully accepted his actions were careless.\u201d<\/p>\n

He told the court that carrying the knife was \u201cill advised\u201d and \u201cutterly stupid\u201d, adding: \u201cI was not in the right state of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m deeply sorry and regret my foolish actions.\u201d<\/p>\n
