Drake’s Toronto Drama: Jagmeet Singh Sparks Feud at Kendrick Lamar Show
Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Grand National Tour” rolled into Toronto last weekend, bringing big crowds and even bigger drama. Among the attendees was Jagmeet Singh, former leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party—and his presence set off an unexpected feud with Toronto’s own rap icon, Drake.
The Instagram Clash: “You’re a Goof”
After a photo of Singh at the concert made the rounds online, Drake didn’t stay quiet. He reportedly messaged Singh directly, calling him a “goof,” and shared the screenshot on his Instagram Story for millions to see. The move instantly turned a concert night into a trending topic.
Singh Responds: “It’s Drake Over Kendrick for Me”
Singh, who lost his Burnaby Central seat in the 2025 federal election and recently stepped down as NDP leader, quickly took to social media to clear the air. He explained he was there for SZA, not Kendrick, and admitted, “I shouldn’t have gone at all.” Singh, a Toronto native, praised Drake for uplifting the city and Canada, making it clear: “For me, it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”
Behind the Beef: Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar
The exchange comes amid a high-profile rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, which has now spilled into the courtroom. Drake is suing Universal Music Group over Kendrick’s diss track “Not Like Us,” claiming it falsely accuses him of serious crimes and puts his safety at risk. None of these claims have been proven in court yet.
Jagmeet Singh’s Political Exit and Drake’s Musical Reign
Singh’s resignation as NDP leader marks the end of an era for the party, sparking discussions about its future. Meanwhile, Drake keeps dominating the charts and headlines. His latest album with PartyNextDoor, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, debuted at number one, tying the record for most number-one albums by a solo artist. He’s also set to headline all three days of the 2025 Wireless Festival in London, with tickets selling out in record time.
Drake’s sharp words for Singh show just how heated the rap feud has become—and how quickly things can go viral. While Singh steps back from politics, Drake keeps setting records, proving once again that Toronto’s music scene is anything but quiet.
