ScHoolboy Q’s Toronto concert hit a sudden snag, and the rapper believes Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud is to blame.
The TDE artist took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce the abrupt cancellation of his show at History, a venue linked to Drake and Live Nation. “THey just cancelled my sHow in TORONTO… CANADIAN POLICE DONT WANT NOBODY FROM TDE PERFORMING,” he posted, stirring the pot with a bit of a conspiracy theory around the beef between Drizzy and Kendrick.
Adding fuel to the fire, ScHoolboy Q pointed out that there had been plenty of peaceful interactions between TDE and OVO members recently. He mentioned TDE founder Top Dawg’s recent appearance at Birdman and Cash Money’s gala and Partynextdoor having a show without any hitches. Q even suggested that if they wanted to cause trouble, they could have done so already: “[I]f we wanted to get yall we would’ve just did it.. now wHen sumbody get Hurt don’t cry…”
Though his comments might seem like threats, Q later clarified he’s not looking for violence. “I neva said ‘ima kill sumbody’ im saying if we wanted to crack it off we could’ve smH,” he explained, denouncing any tuff play. He wrapped it up with a humorous touch, calling himself a “soccer dad.”
The backdrop to this drama includes some wild weather in Toronto, with even Drake’s mansion falling victim to recent flooding. Despite the cancellation, fans could still buy tickets on Ticketmaster, leading some to think the weather might be the real culprit.
This isn’t the first time tensions have flared between Drake’s crew and other artists. Last month, Rick Ross, who isn’t exactly on friendly terms with Drake, got punched at a music festival after playing Kendrick’s diss track. The altercation left Ross brushing it off, though, with a tough guy anecdote about his assailant.
The question of whether the rapper’s Toronto show was axed due to artist beef, bad weather, or something else remains open. Meanwhile, ScHoolboy Q’s social media musings have kept fans buzzing and speculating about what really went down.
Whether it’s beef, the weather, or something in between, ScHoolboy Q’s canceled Toronto show has sparked quite the conversation. Fans and insiders alike are left wondering what really caused the abrupt change in plans.
