Drake’s Toronto Nightmare, Booed Off Stage at Limp Bizkit Concert
Drake’s 2024 just hit another low. The Toronto native faced a surprising reception at a Limp Bizkit concert in his hometown on July 24. The iconic nu-metal band, currently on their Loserville tour, found themselves playing host to an unexpected guest – and an even more unexpected reaction.
During the concert, frontman Fred Durst announced Drake’s presence, expecting a warm welcome. Instead, the crowd erupted in boos. “I thought Drake was your homie,” Durst said, trying to quell the audience’s reaction. “Drake’s my homie.” He even dedicated the next song to the rapper, but the gesture did little to sway the audience’s mood.
Social media quickly lit up with reactions to the incident. One user on X commented, “I doubt many Drake fans and Limp Bizkit fans are synonymous with one another.” Another noted the irony, saying, “I wasn’t expecting them to like him, but it’s still funny that it happened in Toronto.” A third user humorously added, “Welp, guess Drake is gonna take a selfie with oversized pants, a Korn T-shirt, and a box of biscuits,” poking fun at the rapper’s potential petty response.
This hometown rejection adds to a string of challenges for Drake this year. His feud with Kendrick Lamar saw Lamar’s “Not Like Us” become the year’s biggest hit, overshadowing Drake’s musical efforts. Despite contributing to Camila Cabello’s latest album, Drake hasn’t released a chart-topping hit in 2024. Even his diss tracks aimed at Lamar fell flat with the public.
Drake’s recent appearance on producer Gordo’s album, DIAMANTE, offers a glimpse of his latest musical direction, reminiscent of his 2022 house music pivot in Honestly, Nevermind. With new music reportedly on the way, the rapper is likely to release an album before the year ends in an attempt to reclaim his spot in the spotlight. But after being booed in his own backyard, he might need to start winning back his home fans first.
