KZN’s Northwood High ecstatic after Drake reposts their war cry
An all-boys school trended on social media when Canadian rapper Drake shared their war cry, created from his song ‘Nonstop’.
When it comes to the gees (spirit) shown at annual inter-school sports events, there are very few that can match that of South African schools.
The rivalries among schools usually stretch far beyond what takes place on the sports field and go back decades, for some nearly centuries, and despite the various events taking place on the field, the stands are often where the real vibes are.
This is because several schools have become creative and innovative in cheering for their fellow pupils by creating their versions of a war cry – these days they have become so good you’ll spot them all over social media.
Meanwhile, others are extremely lucky to have some of the world’s biggest musical entertainers sharing their content.

This was exactly the case with Northwood High School in KZN.
The all-boys school trended on social media platforms after altering the lyrics from Canadian rapper Drake’s song Nonstop, for their latest war cry.
Not only was this the banger they needed to cheer for their classmates, but it was more than enough to impress Drake himself.
After coming across the video, the God’s Plan rapper reposted the video on his Instagram story, sending the boys into a frenzy.
In an interview with IOL, the school’s social media manager Gina Klingbeil said that when she posted the video, she never would have imagined Drake would see it.
“I posted a clip on Instagram of the school’s unique rendition of Drake’s Nonstop; the boys began tagging Drake in the video.
“Nobody actually thought Drake would see the video, let alone share it on his official Instagram story! It was insane!” Klingbeil said.

She further highlighted that it was not even at an official sporting event, instead, they were just practising.
The video has since received more than 1.2m reactions on TikTok and 400 000 likes on Instagram.
Klingbeil praised the learners for their creativity and authenticity.
