Drake responds amid ScHoolboy Q's Toronto show cancellation controversy

Drake addresses speculation on Instagram after ScHoolboy Q's Toronto show cancellation.

Drake found himself at the center of controversy on Wednesday night following the unexpected cancellation of ScHoolboy Q's show in Toronto. The abrupt cancellation sparked numerous theories and allegations, with some pointing fingers at Canadian police and others suggesting a potential involvement of Drake's label, OVO. The incident has also fueled speculation about a broader blacklist against Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) artists in the city, potentially linked to past tensions with Kendrick Lamar.

ScHoolboy Q addressed the situation on Twitter, attributing the cancellation to actions by the Canadian police. He engaged in a brief exchange with DJ Akademiks, further discussing the reasons behind the show's abrupt end. Amid the swirling theories, there were insinuations that OVO might have played a role, given the history of beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

In response to the growing speculation, Drake took to his Instagram story in the middle of the night. He posted a photo of himself wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with "Free Yayo," a reference to a similar shirt worn by Eminem at the Grammys in support of fellow artist Tony Yayo. While Drake did not directly address the ScHoolboy Q situation, the timing of his post added to the intrigue.

The Instagram story drew mixed reactions from fans. Some perceived Drake's post as petty, while others appreciated the nod to Eminem's iconic moment. Commenters on the NFR Podcast's post about the incident highlighted these differing views, with one fan stating, "This IG story is incredibly petty," and another noting, "It's a cool nod that shows Drake is still engaged with the culture."

As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the fallout from the canceled show will impact future TDE performances in Toronto. Theories about Drake's involvement continue to circulate, with fans and commentators eagerly awaiting further developments.
