When the fan rushes to the stage and approaches Drake, the fan can be seen talking to the crowd in the footage. Drake initially tries to push him away but then seems to grasp that he is not dangerous. He leads the fan to the stage’s edge, where security removes him.
“Y’all not doing security out here?” Drake rebukes before telling the person taking away the fan, “Boy, you slow as f**k.”
The man enters the stage and heads straight for Drake in both videos. The Canadian rapper instantly pushed the fan away, then picked him up, called for security, and had them drag him off stage.
Additionally, the anonymous fan was made fun of on social media. “Second-hand embarrassment FR,” stated ThatsSoRetro. Another commenter added, “Bro just embarrassed himself in front of the world.” Another person said, “I wouldn’t show my face ever again.” Think about being pushed away from Drake in that manner. I was hurt by that s*it, a third said.
A fan wrote, “interacting with fans is a beautiful part of being an artist but, there needs to be a mutual understanding that boundaries exist for everyone’s safety and comfort.”
Other netizens said, “NGL, pushing the fan away on stage wasn’t the right call. I get it: fans aren’t allowed on stage, blah blah. BUT, as an artist, fans do ANYTHING for a touch/selfie with rockstars. Imagine what that kid was feeling in that moment. Sorry Drake, this wasn’t it.”
