Drake Stopped His Concert to Call Out a Guy Groping Women at His Show
There’s no fake love between Drake and his fans. At a recent show at a nightclub in Sydney, Australia (where he’s currently on tour), the rapper halted his set to come to the defense of a female fan he spotted being inappropriately touched by a male concertgoer.
After witnessing the misconduct from his perch atop the crowd, Drake told the DJ to “stop that shit” just before the hook to “Know Yourself,” so that he could issue a steely warning to the aggressor directly. “If you don’t stop touching girls, I will come out there and fuck you up,” he said. Drake went on to emphasize that he’s not “playing,” as he leaned out from the confines of the DJ booth, pointing directly at the offender. Drake then repeated, “If you don’t stop putting your hands on girls, I’m gonna come out there and fuck your ass up.”
The entire exchange was captured on Instagram by a fan in attendance, who wrote in the caption, “I got this close to Drake threatening to jump into the crowd to start a fight with a guy groping a woman in the audience. Violence against women, 6 God says no.” The footage appears to show security in the crowd rushing to the aid of the female fan.
Drake’s heroic actions come at a salient time in Hollywood, when survivors of sexual assault and misconduct have been coming forward in droves to name powerful figures including Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and Louis C.K, as their alleged assailants.
