Drake Calls Canadian Politician A 'Goof' For Attending Toronto Kendrick Lamar Show, He Replies
Kendrick Lamar and SZA brought the Grand National Tour to Toronto this past week, sparking internet speculation about the expected attendance and potential Drake retaliation. His only public reaction came via a DM to Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh, who attended the show, but expressed his regret after being deemed a 'goof' by the 'Nokia' artist.
'I went for SZA, not Kendrick,' the leader of the New Democratic Party wrote on his Instagram story on Sunday (June 15). 'I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it. I shouldn't have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted up this city and *Canadian flag emoji*. For me it'll always be Drake over Kendrick. *Peace sign emoji*.'
Video of Singh at the show circulated online, causing Drizzy to jump in his DMs and tell him, 'You're a goof.' To make matters worse for the 46-year-old politician, the Toronto superstar shared his insulting message on his Instagram story. Given all of the talk about Toronto concertgoers yelling lyrics to 'Not Like Us' both in the Rogers Centre and at restaurants in the city, the 'Nokia' artist was seemingly especially bothered by a local politician 'betraying' him.
Drake allegedly unfollowed Jagmeet Singh on Instagram, adding him to a long list of people that the RIAA record-breaking artist has removed from his following list. Some of the biggest names are LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan, both of whom attended Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out concert in June 2024 and expressed their public support for K. Dot's music.
DeRozan's 'betrayal' especially stung Drake, as he was there to support him when he got traded from the Toronto Raptors to the San Antonio Spurs. DeRozan claimed that he and the 6 God were still cool, but Lamar was his family.
He doubled down on supporting his fellow Compton native by appearing in the 'Not Like Us' music video, partially because he was referenced in the song. 'I'm glad DeRoz' came home, y'all didn't deserve him neither,' the Pulitzer Prize winner rapped about the Sacramento Kings hooper. Watch the 'Not Like Us' music video below.

Trump says he wants "real end" to Iran's nuclear program, not just Iran-Israel ceasefire
President Trump says he wants "a real end" to Iran's nuclear problem, with Tehran giving it up "entirely," and not just a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Speaking on Air Force One after cutting short his time at the G7 summit in the Canadian Rockies, Mr. Trump told reporters, including CBS News senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs that, "I didn't say I was looking for a ceasefire." Earlier, the president said on his Truth Social platform that, "Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a "cease fire" between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!" Mr. Trump said on Air Force One that he wants "a real end," with Iran "giving up entirely" on its nuclear program. He predicted that Israeli isn't slowing up its barrage on Iran. "You're going to find out over the next two days. You're going to find out. Nobody's slowed up so far," he said. The president said he'll be in the White House Situation Room Tuesday morning, as opposed to Canada, monitoring developments in Middle East. He can be "well versed" in the White House, he noted, and not have to rely on phones to know what's happening. When asked about is thinking in calling for the evacuation of Tehran, Mr. Trump said he wants "people to be safe." He sounded undecided about sending special envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President Vance or both to meet with Iranian negotiators. "I may," he said, but "it depends what happens when I get back" to Washington. Addressing any possible threat to U.S. interests, Mr. Trump said Iran knows not to touch U.S. troops. The U.S. would "come down so hard if they do anything to our people," he warned. Mr. Trump declined to say if the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Lt. Gen. Dan Caine chairman and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have provided him with options in the event Iran attacks U.S. bases in Middle East. "I can't tell you that," he told Jacobs. The president said "we'll be talking to them" when asked if the "Gang of Eight" congressional leaders had been briefed on anything yet. But "it's not necessary," he added. And when asked if the U.S. would get involved in destroying Iran's nuclear program, he said he hoped it "is wiped out long before that." Iran is "very close" to a nuclear weapon, Mr. Trump asserted. "I don't care what she said — I think they were very close to having them," referring to testimony by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in March. On efforts to help Americans leave the Mideast, with much of commercial airspace in the region closed, Mr. Trump said the administration is "working on that. We're doing the best we can." On any signs of North Korean or Russian involvement in aiding Iran, Mr. Trump said, "I haven't seen it."
