Is Drake Anti-Muslim? Fan Told To Take Off 'That Hot Ass Scarf' May Have Been Wearing Hijab, Boycott Threatened
Drake’s Muslim fans were not too happy with the “Started From The Bottom” star after the rapper told a concertgoer to remove her “hot ass scarf” during a stop on his Boy Meets World tour in London this week.
Many in attendance immediately took to social media to express their distaste over the comment. With the United Kingdom being home to more than 3 million Muslims, they apparently assumed the woman in question was wearing hijab, a traditional Islamic head covering worn in public by women.
As a result, the disgruntled fans urged everyone to boycott his music, HotNewHipHop reported.
“You got on that hot ass scarf right there, you might wanna take this off, Drake said in the incident that was caught on video. "You gotta come out of that shit."
Drake, who is reportedly worth $101 million, did not immediately respond to the allegations of Islamophobia.
While it was unclear whether the fan was wearing a hijab, here’s what Twitter users were saying about Drake's on-stage quip.
Drake’s comment came a few days after he said “Fuck that man,” which many speculated was directed toward President Donald Trump.
“For some reason in my room, they’ve got the TV set to CNN,” he told concertgoers at the O2 Arena. “Every day I wake up, I see all this bullshit going on in the world. People trying to tear us apart, people trying to make us turn against each other. So tonight, my proudest moment isn’t selling tickets or having people sing my songs, my proudest moment — if you take a look around in this room, you’ll see people of all races and all places.”
Drake continued: “Show love, celebrate life, more life, and more music,” he continued. “If you ever thought for a second that any one man is gonna tear this world apart, you’re out of your motherfucking mind. It’s on us to keep this shit together. Fuck that man.”
