Jagmeet Singh apologizes after being called a “goof” by Drake for attending rival’s concert
Drake has publicly called out Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh after the former New Democratic Party leader was spotted at Kendrick Lamar’s concert in Toronto — the rapper’s first appearance in Drake’s hometown since their highly publicized feud reignited in 2024.
In a direct message posted to Instagram Stories, Drake labeled Singh a “goof” for attending the show, sparking immediate backlash and a hasty apology from Singh.
“I went for SZA, not Kendrick,” Singh wrote in response. “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… For me, it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”
Despite the apology, Drake unfollowed Singh on social media and has yet to publicly respond further.
Kendrick, joined by SZA on their Grand National Tour, performed two packed shows at the Rogers Centre, delivering his chart-topping Drake diss “Not Like Us” to massive crowd reactions both nights.
Meanwhile, Drake had planned to counter the concert with a Twitch livestream alongside Kai Cenat, tied to their “Somebody Loves Me” fan video challenge. However, the event was postponed at the last minute.
