-ScHoolboy Q’s Toronto gig was unexpectedly canceled, and he believes the reason may be related to the latest rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
The TDE rapper declared on Wednesday, July 17, that he would no longer be performing at his performance in the Canadian city. The event was supposed to happen on Thursday, July 18, at History, a location that is jointly owned by Drake and Live Nation.
“They recently canceled my flight to Toronto. “No one from TDE is performing; Canadian police don’t want them to,” he posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Q brought up the fact that there have been many quiet times recently between TDE and OVO as well as the cities where each camp is located, further hinting at his conspiracy theory.
He commented, “TOP was just wit Wayne & Baby smH,” alluding to Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, the creator of TDE, who made an appearance at Birdman and Cash Money’s YouTube Leaders & Legends Gala. “[P]artynextdoor had an amazing time at the palladium.”
“[I]f we wanted to get yall we would’ve just done it.. now wHen sumbody get Hurt don’t cry,” he said, seeming to threaten violence.
Then, making light of his appearance in the music video for Kendrick Lamar’s trash song “Not Like Us,” he said, “Actually I get it. Oh my goodness, this is hilarious. How dare Iono to put me in that filthy video? I could only think of one thing: cancelled (insert sobbing face emoji).
In response to a fan’s suggestion that Q’s cancellation of his Toronto gig will shield him from any attacks in Drake’s hometown, he said, “I don’t think u knowwho I am.” Actually, I don’t think many of you really know who I am.
He later clarified that he wasn’t endangering Drizzy or his group, reversing his earlier statement.
He explained, “I never said, ‘I’m going to kill somebody.’ I’m saying that if we wanted to crack it off, we could have smH.” “Leap and continue playing tough to get someone.” Hurt, everything is fine [emoji of a crying face] I’m a soccer parent.
Although ScHoolboy Q is attributing his cancelled concert to the feud between the 6 God and his former TDE labelmate, Toronto has recently seen some extremely severe weather, to the point that even Drake’s own house flooded.
It should be mentioned that, as of this writing, tickets for Q’s performance are still available through Ticketmaster.
Rick Ross was the last rapper to perform in Canada who wasn’t friends with Drake, and he ended up getting sucker punched.
At a music festival in Vancouver last month, Rozay and his group were assaulted when the MMG mogul played Kendrick’s previously reported diss hit “Not Like Us” to end his set.
The maneuver was not well received by a mob of Drizzy fanatics, who punched Ross in the face, rendering one of his teammates unconscious.
Subsequently, Ross dismissed the attack, stating, “Yes, man, I’m thinking about what happened over there.” The first guy that approached Rozay was the little, chubby guy who resembled Bam Bam Bigelow from professional wrestling. I squatted down when he stepped up, and he could tell what I said by looking at me.
“Basically, boy, I’ma see everything you ate for the last two days if I hit you,” he continued. His balls fell out of his behind. He didn’t say anything further or take any action at all. He was an obvious busta.
