Drake is used to being the centre of rumours, gossip and tabloids, but one story has the rapper fired up.
Drizzy was accused of asking a fan at his concert to remove her hijab during the show. The Canadian recording artist vehemently denounces those rumours, explaining he was actually teasing a fan for wearing a coat and scarf.

“I make a point every night to end my shows on tones of unity and love so, to find out that I am being utilized in a fake media story about me disrespecting Muslims is devastating to me,” the “Energy” rapper wrote in a post on Instagram.
Adding, “At my show in the 02 in London I was talking to 4 women one of whom was wearing a jacket and a winter scarf, I made a comment about taking off the scarf because I enjoy friendly banter with the fans. I am well aware of what a hijab is and I would never make a disrespectful comment like that in my life towards someone who is wearing one.”

Drake, 30, wrapped up his statement with a message of unity, “I am proud that my closest friends and fans come from all different religions and races, perhaps whoever made up this story should spend more time learning about other cultures and less time trying to divide us.”
With that rumour settled, Drizzy can look forward to the 2017 Grammy Awards on Sunday as he vies for awards in eight different categories.
