Drake faced an unexpected reaction from his hometown crowd at a Limp Bizkit concert in Toronto. The incident occurred on Thursday night when Fred Durst mentioned Drake’s presence, hoping to rile up the audience. Instead, the crowd responded with loud boos, clearly not pleased with the rapper’s attendance. The video footage shows Durst’s surprise as he asked, “I thought Drake was your homie?” which only intensified the crowd’s negative response.
Despite the boos, Durst remained undeterred and dedicated the next song, “Take a Look Around,” to Drake. This move, however, did little to change the audience’s mood. The concert, part of Limp Bizkit’s “Loserville” tour, featured other acts like RiFF RAFF, Bones + Eddy Baker, N8NOFACE, and Corey Feldman, a lineup not typically associated with Drake’s musical style.
Drake’s recent musical ventures include the release of two tropical tracks with his longtime collaborator Gordo earlier that day. These new songs seem to align more with his established fan base, suggesting that the negative reaction at the Limp Bizkit concert might be a sign for Drake to stick to venues and events more suited to his genre and audience.
Getting booed in his hometown likely stings for Drake, who is used to widespread acclaim and support. The incident highlights the sometimes unpredictable nature of live performances and the diverse preferences of music fans.
