According to Complex Magazine, Sunday night, Drake was booed of stage at Tyler the Creator’s the Camp Flog Gnaw Music Festival at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles. Apparently, fans were anticipating Frank Ocean to come out and perform as a special guest; however, the crowd was shocked when Drake came out to perform instead.
There has been a few different videos circulating the internet of the Canadian hip hop star pleading with the audience and asking if they would like for him to continue. “Like I said, I’m here for you, and if you want me to keep going I’ll keep going”, Drake said. You can hear the crowd scream “no” and starting booing, which lead Drake to exit the stage. “It’s been love. I go by the name of Drake, thank you for having me.” Those were Drakes final words before ending his set 20 minutes early.
It seems that Drake could have been an innocent victim to what the internet calls fake news. Apparently, word spread around the internet like rapid fire after an Instagram live post stated that it was supposed to be Frank Ocean as the special guest. The lie detector determined that was a lie. As many of you know, Tyler and Frank have a close friendship and business relationship, so it’s not like it could not have been a possibility.
After the whole ordeal, Tyler then took to his twitter account to criticize the fans who booed Drake. Tyler stated that he thought bringing one of the biggest artists on the planet to a music festival would have turned out fire. He also stated that it might have been a “tone deaf” move to include the God Plan rapper because of the type of crowd that usually attends. However, despite how the evening went, Tyler also shared his appreciation for Drake playing at the music festival.
