Drake left embarrassed after hitting on engaged security guard at Perth concert
Drake found himself in an awkward situation during his sold-out concert in Perth on Wednesday night after hitting on a security guard—only to find out she was engaged. As the rapper made his way through the crowd at RAC Arena, he singled out a female security guard, admiring her looks and telling the audience: "Damn, look at her! She is fine as hell. Check it out on the cameras." Building up the moment, he then asked her directly: "Are you married? Do you have a ring on?" Unfortunately for Drake, the guard quickly flashed her engagement ring, making it clear that she was already taken. A visibly disappointed Drake responded, "Oh, you have a ring on? Never mind," before awkwardly walking away. The moment, captured on TikTok, quickly went viral, with fans sharing mixed reactions. Drake shooting his shot with the security lady Despite the cringe-worthy moment, Drake's It's All a Blur Tour continues with upcoming performances at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena from February 9 to 13. The rapper has already made headlines on this tour, recently hosting an exclusive pre-show party in Melbourne, where he covered all bar costs and invited Miss Universe contestants and influencers for a VIP night out. With his tour in full swing, fans are now eagerly watching to see what Drake does next—hopefully with less embarrassment.

Drake said 'No Friends in the Industry,' he meant it—Rapper shuts down DJ Khaled's feature claims
DJ Khaled's grand announcement for his 14th studio album, Aalam of God , has vanished from the internet after Drake shut down claims of being featured on two tracks. The We The Best mogul had dropped a cinematic seven-minute trailer starring Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Ramos, hyping up his latest project and tagging Drake in the caption. 'FYI… DRAKE'S BACK TO WORK… SO AM I! THIS THE ONE WITH [2] DRAKES!' he wrote. However, Drake swiftly dismissed the claim, leaving a now-viral comment: 'Must be @drakebell,' referencing the former Nickelodeon star from Drake & Josh . YIKES… Drake does NOT approve the 2 records for DJ Khaled's album. Khaled has now deleted his entire album announcement/7 min trailer. 😭😭😭😭 — King Jared (@certifiedjared) Khaled's post, which originally hinted at the rapper's involvement, was quickly deleted after the response, sparking speculation across social media. Fans were quick to react, with many praising Drake's newfound energy. Drake Bell Ft DJ Khaled *LEAK**** — Kermit (@BKid704) 'Drake in his villain era and I love it!!!!' one user tweeted. Another joked, 'No more Drake stimulus package for him,' referring to Khaled's history of using Drake collaborations to secure chart-topping hits. Some questioned what Khaled might have done to land in Drake's bad books, especially given their long history of collaborations, from 'I'm On One' to 'Popstar.' No more Drake stimulus package for him — iamdchairman (@tobijubril_) Drake's response has only fueled speculation that his relationship with Khaled may have soured, particularly after the rapper's recent fallout with Kendrick Lamar. when drake said no friends in the industry he really meant it he cut ties with kanye kendrick abel future metro rick ross and dj khaled — blonded (@Khalednxtdoor) Many fans pointed out that Khaled remained silent during Drake's highly publicized feud, possibly leading to a rift. 'After everything that's happened, the opps now want Drake's help. Nah, stay on that side,' a user tweeted, while another added, 'Khaled shows everyone love. Drake making people choose sides is childish.' After everything that's happened, The opps now wants Drake's help, nah nigga stay on that side now 😂 — BOSS DADDY (@maduchi19) Drake upset that DJ Khaled didn't speak during the beef. Bro that man didn't even speak up for his own country — King Wow (@wowthatshiphop) Khaled has a long-standing tradition of hyping up his albums with major collaborations, and this isn't the first time he's teased Drake's involvement. During Drake's It's All a Blur Tour in September 2023, he famously held up a massive sign that read, 'I have 2 Drake songs on my new album—coming 2024.' The two last worked together in 2022 on 'Staying Alive' from Khaled's God Did . With Khaled now wiping his entire album announcement, it's unclear whether the Drake features were real or if plans changed behind the scenes. Meanwhile, Drake is focused on his Anita Max Win Tour , currently making stops in Australia and New Zealand.
