Jagmeet Singh has issued a public apology to Drake for attending a Kendrick Lamar and SZA concert in Toronto over the weekend.The former NDP leader had been called a "goof" by the Canadian rapper after finding out that he had been at his rival's show on his own turf..A fan standing behind Singh at the concert captured a picture of him and posted it online. Not long after, Drake slid into his DMs and said, "You're a goof."Drake proceeded to post a screenshot of their DMs to his story for his 142 million followers to see. Prior to that interaction, Singh had tagged Drake in a number of stories and told him he was "honoured" when the rapper followed him back. .Upon seeing that he'd been caught red-handed, Singh attempted to backpedal, posting an apology to his own Instagram story.."I went for SZA, not Kendrick," Singh claimed. "I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it. I shouldn't have gone at all."He went on to claim that Drake and his OVO clothing brand had "lifted this city up and [Canada].""For me it'll always be Drake over Kendrick," Singh concluded..Since March 2024, the rappers have been beefing. Things kicked off with Lamar's release of "Like That," where he alluded to an earlier J. Cole song that suggested they, along with Graham, were the "big three" in rap music. "It's just big me," Lamar declared.On April 13, Drake responded with "Push Ups," in which he suggested Lamar wasn't worthy of being in the "big three," taking particular aim at the rapper's small stature and work with more mainstream artists.Drake released "Taylor Made Freestyle" six days later, but it was quickly deleted after the rapper received a cease and desist letter from the estate of Tupac Shakur, whose AI-generated voice was used without permission..Lamar countered with "Euphoria" on April 30, blasting Drake for not being black enough, his alleged plastic surgery, and use of AI. Another track, "6:16 in LA," was dropped four days later. It was notably produced by Jack Antonoff, who has worked extensively with Swift.The same day, Drake released "Family Matters," in which he suggested Lamar beat his fiancé, Whitney Alford, and was not actually the father of his child.On May 4, Lamar brought the world "Meet the Grahams," going after Drake's family, then dropped "Not Like Us" just hours later. In the latter, Lamar accused Drake of being a "certified pedophile," and hit home that message by making the cover art a Google Maps image of Drake's mansion covered in red pins used on an app showing where sex offenders live..While Drake tried to hit back with "The Heart Part 6," it was no use. Not Like Us was not only a A-level diss track, it also became a hit on the club scene. Before long, people all over the world were bumping the song and singing "certified loverboy, certified pedophile" with enthusiasm.In a move that shocked many, Lamar sang "Not Like Us" during his Superbowl performance, and the whole world — well, the whole United States and parts of Canada — watched as a stadium full of people sang "A minooooor" in unison.According to Global News, at Lamar's recent concert in Toronto, he received a standing ovation upon completing that song.
