Drake sparked a social media buzz after Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh was seen attending a Toronto concert by Kendrick Lamar. The sighting was significant due to the past fallout between Lamar and Drake.
Spotting Singh at the controversial concert, Drake took to Instagram to express his displeasure. He messaged Singh directly, calling him a “goof,” and didn’t hesitate to share those words with his followers on Instagram Stories.
Attempting damage control, Singh swiftly apologized for attending the show. In a candid response, he claimed his primary interest was in seeing SZA perform rather than Lamar. He emphasized his love for the city of Toronto and asserted his loyalty, stating, “It’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”
However, Singh’s apology did little to placate Drake. In response to the unexpected drama, Drake moved quickly to sever digital ties by unfollowing Singh on various social media platforms.
Kendrick Lamar’s Toronto performances were part of his Grand Central Tour, alongside SZA. Impressively, the shows saw Lamar deliver fiery renditions of his tracks, including the much-talked-about diss track “Not Like Us.” The Rogers Centre echoed with enthusiastic calls for encores from an engaged audience.
In a related twist, Drake had initially planned to counter the concert with a Twitch livestream alongside Kai Cenat, offering a potentially major diversion for fans. However, the stream, which promised to give away significant sums in a “Somebody Loves Me” challenge, was ultimately postponed.
The unfolding drama between Drake and Singh underscores the intensity of loyalties and rivalries within the music scene.
