Jagmeet Singh apologises to Drake after being called 'goof' for attending Kendrick Lamar's concert
Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh has apologised to rapper Drake after being publicly called a 'goof' on Instagram. The comment came following Singh's appearance at Kendrick Lamar's Toronto concert, where Lamar performed his viral diss track 'Not Like Us' to loud support from the crowd.
Drake shared a direct message sent to Singh reading 'You're a goof,' referencing the politician's attendance at a show by his current musical rival. The diss, posted publicly, quickly circulated across political and entertainment media.

In a social media statement, Singh clarified that he attended the show to see SZA and not Kendrick Lamar. He wrote, 'I shouldn't have gone. I was there for SZA, but I should've thought it through. It's always Drake over Kendrick for me.' Singh's tone aimed to cool tensions while reaffirming his support for the Toronto-born artist.

Singh, a Member of Parliament and former leader of Canada's New Democratic Party, was reportedly mistaken for another attendee at the Toronto event. However, the resemblance was strong enough to spark a reaction from Drake during the height of his ongoing feud with Lamar.
At the concert, Kendrick Lamar performed 'Not Like Us' to a standing ovation, reportedly lasting over two minutes, with fans chanting for an encore.
