The Canadians are beefin’.
Drake wasn’t happy with the former leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party for attending one of the Kendrick Lamar and SZA Grand National Tour stops in Toronto last week. The Toronto rapper posted a screenshot on his Instagram Story of his DMs with Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh where he said to him, “You’re a goof,” after Singh was spotted at the show.
After facing some backlash from Toronto natives and Drake fans on social media, Singh seemingly saw the error in his ways and took to his own Instagram Story to issue an apology. “I went for SZA, not Kendrick,” he tried to clarify. “I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it. I shouldn’t have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted up this city and [Canada]. For me it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”
A lot went down during the first Toronto tour stop that could easily have gotten under Drizzy’s skin. Lamar performed “Not Like Us” during the first date in Toronto and was asked by the crowd to perform the hit diss song again in its first live performance in Drake’s backyard. Footage also surfaced of fans rapping “Not Like Us” while visiting Chinese restaurant New Ho King amid rumors of heightened security surrounding the concert.
In other Drake related news, he dropped a new verse on his OVO signee Smiley’s recent single “2 Mazza” from his album Don’t Box Me In. And he had to reschedule a stream with Kai Cenat twice to finish going through submissions for their “Somebody Love’s Me” video treatment cash giveaway, with one of the streaming dates scheduled during K-Dot and SZA’s first Grand National Toronto date.
Add this to the latest chapter of the Kendrick vs. Drake saga.
