Drake Claps Back Beautifully At Being Booed Off Stage At LA Concert
An awkward gig didn’t dim Drake’s sense of humor.
A day after the rapper was booed off the stage during the Camp Flog Gnaw music festival at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, the rapper clapped back Monday, joking that he had signed a 10-year residency at the music festival.
“See you EVERY SINGLE YEAR till you are 30,” he wrote to his young detractors.
Several clips from the music festival showed the Canadian hip-hop star saying he’d like to continue performing ― but being showered with jeers and chants of “We want Frank.” Fans reportedly anticipated that a special guest performer would be Frank Ocean.
“Like I said, I’m here for you,” Drake told the audience. “If you want me to keep going, I’ll keep going.”
But the boos and cries of “no” sent the “Hotline Bling” star permanently offstage.
“It’s been love,” he told the crowd.

Tyler, the Creator, who hosts the annual concert, wasn’t nearly as magnanimous as Drake after the booing incident. He said on Twitter that fans “acted out like assholes.”
I THOUGHT BRINGING ONE OF THE BIGGEST ARTIST ON THE FUCKING PLANET TO A MUSIC FESTIVAL WAS FIRE! BUT FLIPSIDE, A LIL TONE DEAF KNOWING THE SPECIFIC CROWD IT DREW. SOME CREATED A NARRATIVE IN THEIR HEAD AND ACTED OUT LIKE ASSHOLES WHEN IT DIDNT COME TRUE AND I DONT FUCK WITH THAT
