WATCH: Drake Stops Concert To Subtly Bash Trump
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Drake sang a different type of tune when he interrupted his London concert to rant about President Donald Trump, although the rapper didn’t name Trump directly.
“Every day I wake up and see all this bulls‑‑‑ going in the world, people trying to tear us apart, people trying to make us turn against each other,” he said on February 5, in the middle of his Boy Meets World tour.
“So tonight, my proudest moment isn’t selling tickets or having people singing songs. My proudest moment, if you take a look around at this room, you’ll see people from all races and all places,” he continued to loud applause.
The Canadian entertainer, whose mother is Jewish, wrapped it up by alluding more directly to Trump, but did not name him: “If you think one man can tear this world apart, you’re out of your motherf‑‑‑ing mind. It’s on us to keep this s‑‑‑ together. F‑‑‑ that man.”
