This past weekend was an undoubtedly busy one for Drake. However, thousands of his fans felt let down by the cancellation of his headlining set at Lollapalooza on Saturday (March 25). The sad news came shortly after videos of the Canadian partying with 50 Cent at a club in Florida surfaced online, causing some to speculate that a wild night out on the town was more enticing to Drizzy than arriving on time for his highly anticipated scheduled performance. Brazilian fans didn't hesitate to let their disdain be known. Some even cursed out the foreign artist after the festival replaced him with EDM DJ Skrillex.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Drake is without members of his sound and production team, essential to the realization of the Lollapalooza show in Sao Paulo," a translated statement from the event's social media pages explains. "Drake was excited to perform for his fans in Brazil. Unfortunately, this is beyond his control. Sorry." In response, one angry Twitter user wrote, "GRINGOS IN F*CKING LATIN AMERICA. I HATE Y’ALL."

Even with all the backlash he's facing for ditching Lollapalooza to party with the Power producer, Drake continues to show his support for 50 Cent. On Monday (March 27), a photo of the father of one wearing a G-Unit shirt while chatting with a man in a suit began making rounds online. The "I Get Money" hitmaker is the only artist to appear on the black tee, a bandana covering the lower half of his face and a giant chain draped around his neck.
Champagne Papi was looking similarly stylish, wearing his own infamous chain made of 32 engagement rings, said to be from past failed relationships. The 36-year-old also sported a thin, shorter necklace layered underneath, and a gold watch on his wrist. The photo was on Drake's Instagram Story last night. It's obviously seen a strong reaction from the internet following his latest antics. On the bright side, while the Scorpion hitmaker did cancel his set, he somewhat made up for it by teasing a new track on social media that sounds as though it has some serious song of the summer potential.
