Drake Gets Flamed For Popping Out At A Morgan Wallen Concert Over Past N-Word Use
Since Drake purchased a $15 million home in Houston last year, he has further adopted the Texas culture, which includes embracing country music. So over the weekend, he popped up at one of Morgan Wallen's NRG Stadium stops in Houston for the singer's I'm The Problem Tour. Wallen has a pre-show ritual of bringing his famous friends along with him on his walk to the stage, and the crowd watching from the Jumbotron erupted when he dapped up Drake, who went full country garb, rocking an all-denim outfit, cowboy boots, and had a flask in his hand. Before Drizzy joined him, baseball legend Roger Clemens —who came out of retirement to suit up for the Houston Astros in the early 2000s— walked with him in unison and presented him with a custom Astros jersey. During the ceremonious walkout, Wallen's 'Broadway Girls' track , featuring Lil Durk, a friend of Drake's, played in the background . Wallen also performed at NRG Stadium the night before, bringing out NFL legend and former Houston Texan Andre Johnson and Houston businessman Jim 'Mattress Mack' McIngvale on Friday before stepping up the star power for night two. This isn't the first time the big artists have linked up, as the Tennessee native was in the video for Drake's 'You Broke My Heart' in 2023. While concert goers loved Drake showing love, social media was immediately critiquing the move as problematic because Wallen was flamed in 2021 when TMZ caught him on camera saying the N-word after a night out with friends. After being suspended from his recording contract, he later apologized, asking fans not to excuse his actions, and pledging $300,000 to t he Black Music Action Coalition . 'I'm embarrassed and sorry. I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back,' Wallen said in a statement. 'There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.' But social media still sees it as a weird culture vulture move from Drake to be aware of his N-word use and still hanging out with him. See the reactions below.

The two artists previously collaborated on the 2023 track You Broke My Heart. However, the unexpected pairing sparked a range of responses online. Some users joked that Drake was 'embracing his white side,' referencing his appearance at a country music concert. Others were more critical, questioning his alignment with the controversial Wallen.

He goes wherever the winds blow. — Queenie (@deepstateovmind) June 22, 2025 Wallen faced backlash in 2021 after being filmed using a racial slur, as reported by USA Today. One user on X commented, 'In what world did Drake think it was a good idea to associate himself with Morgan 'N Word' Wallen?'

One commenter noted, 'Not a white man showing Lawbrey how a stadium show looks and feels like,' referencing Wallen's stadium-level performance. The guy that said the N word? Ofc he's accepting of drake the white boy — V (@Charvdo) June 22, 2025 Wallen's tour officially kicked off on June 20 in Houston.

His fourth studio album of the same name, released in May 2025, features 37 tracks and has topped the Billboard 200 for four consecutive weeks. The moment has reignited debates over celebrity accountability, reputation management, and the optics of genre-crossing collaborations in today's music industry.

Drake rants about exes during performance
Drake blasted his exes for having "played with" him in an on-stage rant in Australia on Sunday (09.02.25) night. The 38-year-old rapper was filmed ranting about unnamed former flames during his concert at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, and while he didn't single out any by name it came shortly before Serena Williams - who he dated in 2011 - joined Kendrick Lamar on stage at the Super Bowl half-time show to dance during 'Not Like Us', the rapper's diss track about him, while another ex-lover, SZA, also performed during his rival's segment. In footage shared online, Drake grew increasingly animated as he ranted: "If you ever, in your life, gave your time, gave your energy, gave your money, gave your heart, gave your soul, gave everything that you ever had to somebody, and they f****** played with you and wasted your time, wasted your money.... "I want you to all to turn up to this song. This for all y'all exes and everybody think they can play you in their f*****' life! If you doin' better than your ex, I wanna see you f*****' turn up! (sic)" As the crowd cheered, he told his DJ: "Now you can play the song!" He then broke into his track 'You Broke My Heart'. During his 13-minute set at the Super Bowl, Kendrick had repeatedly teased performing 'Not Like Us' before eventually delighting the crowd at the end of his set. A couple of minutes into his performance, Kendrick said: "I want to play their favourite song ... but you know they love to sue." Prior to the game, fans wondered whether the 'Like That' hitmaker would perform 'Not Like Us', after Drake previously filed a defamation lawsuit against his rap rival over lyrics that accuse him of being a sexual predator, which he denies. The Grammy-winning star performed 'Not Like Us' at the end of his set, but he opted to censor the most controversial lyrics amid the ongoing legal battle. Meanwhile, Kendrick's show also included performances of 'Humble', 'DNA', 'Squabble Up', 'Man At The Garden' and 'Euphoria', another Drake diss track. The rapper arrived on stage atop a black Buick GNX car, the same model his father drove home from hospital after Kendrick was born in June 1987. He was later joined on stage by SZA as they performed their hits 'All the Stars' and 'Luther', together, while Samuel L Jackson played host as Uncle Sam, praising the duo. At one point, the actor said: "That's what I'm talking about. That's what America wants, nice and calm."
