Drake calls out Jagmeet Singh
for attending Kendrick Lamar’s Toronto show, politician responds.
Toronto rapper Drake calls out Jagmeet Singh (Canadian politician), former NDP leader after photos surfaced showing Singh at Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s “Grand National Tour” in Toronto.
Drake DM’d Singh, bluntly writing “You’re a goof,” and then posted the DM screenshot to his Instagram stories.
He also unfollowed Singh on social media .
Jagmeet Singh Apologizes
Singh quickly responded via Instagram story:
“I went for SZA, not Kendrick. … I love this city. But real talk, I get it. I shouldn’t have gone at all. … For me it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”
He praised Drake and his OVO collective for their impact on Toronto’s music scene.
The Heated Rap Feud
The conflict comes amid Drake’s high-profile feud with Kendrick Lamar, including diss tracks from both sides, most notably Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” which received a standing ovation at the Toronto show.
Why this matters:
- It’s rare for Drake to publicly call out a high-profile Canadian politician.
- Singh’s apology shows the influence Drake holds in Toronto’s cultural and political circles.
- It also highlights how deeply the ongoing rap feud has permeated Canadian pop culture.
What Happened?
Drake publicly called out Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh after he was spotted at Kendrick Lamar’s concert in Toronto. Singh, who had posted about attending the show, was criticized by Drake on social media, where Drake reportedly referred to Singh as a “goof.”
Why the Drama?
Drake and Kendrick Lamar are currently in the middle of a high-profile rap feud. Kendrick’s diss track “Not Like Us” targeted Drake with serious accusations, which led to Drake filing a lawsuit against Universal Music for allowing the song to remain online.
Singh’s Response
Jagmeet Singh quickly apologized for attending the concert, explaining that he was there to see SZA, not Kendrick. He emphasized his loyalty to Drake and Toronto, and admitted it was a bad look given the current feud.
Cultural Fallout
This situation is drawing attention because:
- Singh is a major political figure in Canada.
- Drake’s influence in Toronto’s cultural and music scene is enormous.
- The feud between Drake and Kendrick has extended beyond music, now touching politics and public image.
What’s Next?
- The public is watching to see if Kendrick or SZA respond to Singh or Drake.
- Singh may face further public or political scrutiny.
- Drake’s lawsuit against Universal Music may ramp up if tensions continue to rise.
Tensions in the hip-hop world have spilled into Canadian politics as global rap icon Drake publicly called out federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh for attending Kendrick Lamar’s recent concert in Toronto. The controversy comes amid one of the most heated rap feuds in recent memory, with Drake and Kendrick locked in an intense lyrical and legal battle.
Photos and social media posts showed Singh at Kendrick’s concert, which was part of his “The Pop Out” tour that has drawn huge crowds following the success of diss tracks like “Not Like Us.” The problem? That song directly targets Drake, accusing him of disturbing behavior — an accusation Drake has denied and is now suing Universal Music Group over for defamation.
Drake responded to Singh’s appearance by calling him a “goof” in a message shared online, clearly viewing Singh’s attendance as a betrayal of sorts — especially considering the concert took place in Drake’s hometown of Toronto, a city where he is not just a rapper, but a cultural institution.
Realizing the backlash, Singh quickly apologized, clarifying that he was actually there to see SZA, who was also performing, and not Kendrick. He stated that he “has nothing but love for Drake” and didn’t intend any disrespect. His apology acknowledged Drake’s impact on the city and music scene, and he said he regretted the misunderstanding.
The incident highlights just how influential the rap battle between Drake and Kendrick has become. It’s not just about music anymore — it’s affecting public perception, politics, and cultural alliances. Whether Kendrick responds or Singh faces more fallout remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear: when Drake speaks, people — including politicians — pay attention.
