Drake has denied accusations that he told a woman to remove her hijab at one of his concerts in London.
The claims come from a video from the O2 Arena last week where Drake tells someone to take off a "hot ass scarf".
Drake is under some heat & being accused of Islamphobia after he told a girl to take off her hijab during his Boy M… https://t.co/9FpRJNOJSc
In an Instagram post on Friday, Drake said the claims were a "fake media story", and that he found the accusations "devastating".
In the days since the video went viral, people started commenting on Drake's Instagram photos to accused him of racism.
Some people got angry and called him ignorant.
drake calling hijab "hot a** scarf" and "sh*t" shows how much ignorant and shitty his personality is, there's literally no excuse for this
drake deadass told that hijabi to "take her hot ass scarf off" and ion see anything about it on my timeline how come
They said he was cancelled.
Drake told a Muslim woman to take her hijab off?!?!?! He's cancelled. Drake is racist trash and his ego has gotten to big for his head.
Some people didn't believe the rumours, however.
Drake told a girl in the audience to take off her scarf its hot... no proof it was a hijab. Could have been a winter scarf.
After initially not commenting on the claims, people are happy Drake addressed the video.
y'all dumb to think drake wasn't woke enough to know what a hijab was
In his Instagram post, Drake had written: “I am proud that my closest friends and fans come from all different religions and races, perhaps whoever made up this story should spend more time learning about other cultures and less time trying to divide us."
