Rumours that Drake asked a fan to take off her hijab during his concert were doing the rounds. On Saturday, the rapper took to Instagram to slam the rumours.
He wrote, “I make a point every night to end my shows on tones of unity and love so, to find out that I am being utilised in a fake media story about me disrespecting Muslims is devastating to me. At my show in London I was talking to four women one of whom was wearing a jacket and a winter scarf, I made a comment about taking off the scarf because I enjoy friendly banter with the fans.”
He added, “I am well aware of what a hijab is and I would never make a disrespectful comment like that in my life towards someone who is wearing one. I am proud that my closest friends and fans come from all different religions and races.”
