The Internet Clowns Drake For Sending Fiery DM To A Canadian Politician Who Went To Kendrick Lamar Concert
The internet thinks Drake has taken another loss months after his rival Kendrick Lamar delivered a final blow to him at this year's Super Bowl amid their ongoing rap beef.
By now you've probably heard that the Canadian rapper and Compton emcee were at odds for years, with the public rift dramatically reaching new heights last year after Lamar and Drake exchanged accusations of pedophilia, infidelity and drug use against each other in a series of diss tracks.
The quarrel between the artists escalated earlier this year after Drake filed a defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), accusing the label of spreading a 'false and malicious narrative.'
The '6 God' rapper's lawsuit alleged that UMG intentionally released and promoted Lamar's diss track, 'Not Like Us,' which Drake claims falsely portrays him as a pedophile.
Now, it appears Drake has inadvertently resurrected the feud with Lamar after he called out Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh for recently attending Lamar's concert in his home country. Lamar and SZA made a concert stop in Toronto to perform at the Rogers Centre on June 12 and 13.
On Sunday, Drake revealed on Instagram that he reached out to Singh to slam him for going to the concert.
'You're a goof,' Drake wrote in a DM to the former New Democratic Party leader, which the musician screenshot and showed off on his Instagram story, multipleoutlets reported.
Reps for Drake didn't immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment.
Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, had a lot to say about Drake boldly blasting Singh.
'This is some high school shit [laugh emoji],' one person wrote. 'I don't know what's funnier, Drake crashing out over a politician going to a Kendrick show or Jagmeet's apologies. It's been over a year and this beef is still so entertaining.'
Another said, 'Ain't no way Drake was crying in Jagmeet Singh's DMs just because he went to see the Kendrick concert.'
'Why is Jagmeet Singh expressing regrets and apologies for going to major, well-attended concert in Toronto?,' someone else questioned before adding, 'He doesn't owe Drake anything.'
A separate user accused Drake of bullying Singh, writing, 'not drake bullying jagmeet singh into apologizing for going to a kendrick concert [crying emoji].'
Another user pointed at the fact that last year, Snoop Dogg apologized to Lamar after the 'Gin & Juice' musician posted Drake's diss song, 'Taylor Made Freestyle,' on his Instagram account.
Comparing the two situations, the X user called out the internet's outrage over Drake's comment to Singh as 'hypocrisy.'
Singh later issued an apology to Drake for attending the show.
'I went for SZA, not Kendrick,' he wrote in a Sunday post on his Instagram Story. 'I was born in this city. I love this city.'
Singh continued, 'But real talk, I get it. I shouldn't have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted up this city and [Canada] emoji.'
He wrapped up his message, declaring: 'For me it'll always be Drake over Kendrick.'
Drake has yet to address Singh's apology publicly.

People Are Sharing The Worst Date They've Ever Had The Misfortune Of Going On, And I Think They Should Be Entitled To Financial Compensation
If you've ever been on a truly bad date – one that made you swear off love for good – you're in the right place. Recently, people from the BuzzFeed Community shared stories of the worst dates they've ever been on, and well, it might make you feel less alone. From gross to creepy to downright bizarre, here are 18 of the most shocking stories: 1."First date with a guy, he offered to cook me dinner. It seemed a little strange, but also romantic, so I accepted. We went shopping for ingredients together, then to his place." "He shared the house with two other roommates, so I felt safer knowing we wouldn't be alone. He made our meal, then brought it into the bedroom so that we could watch a movie together. I insisted he leave the door open, just in case. Everything seemed fine until he got up after our dinner and closed the door. I didn't even have time to panic before he turned around, pants down, flaccid *member* hanging there, and said, 'put your mouth on it.' I couldn't help it, with his little peen just flopping atop his balls, I burst out laughing and ran out of the room. He chased me all the way to my car, with his thing out, begging me to come back, but I was both terrified and mortified; there was no way I was going back! I took off like a bat out of hell, and he's been known as 'hot dog' to me and my friends ever since!" –cupcakekrystle 2."Diarrhea, mine. I think that's enough explanation." –hbarney 3."When I was about 24, I met up to hang out with this guy for our first date. I very quickly realized the friendly older couple sitting next to us were his PARENTS." "He had told them where he was going and either invited them, or they just decided to tag along. I never got a straight answer on that. And to make matters even worse the uncomfortable date ended when his parents pulled up in front of where we were chatting in the parking lot, and he left with them. First and only date, for the record. 😂" –KJ 4."The date actually started well. He was cute, and the conversation was going well. A flying bug landed on his arm, and he slapped it…then proceeded to literally rub the mangled bug pieces into his arm instead of flicking it off!! It was so gross, and I have never gotten the ick so fast. I made an excuse to leave early because I couldn't look at him the same after that." –angrycrocodile764 5."Where to begin? This guy had watched too many pick-up videos, and no doubt, he's currently an Andrew Tate fanboy. Silly on my part to have a date in a park during COVID lockdown, because there was no one around and he was terrifying." "He was trying to touch me and grab me almost immediately, five minutes in, and my body language was literally turning away from him. I didn't want to try to leave until other people were around, so it lasted longer than I'd have liked. He showed me a video of him doing 50 burpees. Made me watch the whole thing, and insisted I feel his guns... twice. I worked at a school, didn't tell him where, and he claimed to have a tutoring business and 'would just go around to all the schools and ask the principals until he found me.' He also said, 'It won't be too hard to figure out which school your kids go to, either.' He still thought he was flirting. When I left, he asked for a kiss, and I refused. He said, 'I love it when people play hard to get.' I told him I'm not playing, and he leaned in again. I said no, and he said, 'Joke's on you, I always get what I want, and you are top of the list.' Leaned in again, I pushed him away and he said, 'We're going to have so much fun together.' I got in the car and left. That evening, he texted me to say he felt a real connection and 'knew' I did, too, and that we would make beautiful babies. He wanted to plan the next date and get that kiss. This 40-year-old man genuinely thought the date went well, meanwhile, I spent the next 6 months keeping my eye out for his car at my kids' schools." 6."His girlfriend showed up. He told me it was just a friend going through a divorce, and he was helping her through it. He left and spoke to her for about an hour. Then the girlfriend came up to me and asked, 'Why are you with my boyfriend?' I told her I didn't know, I was sorry, and she should break up with him. Then I left. This was on my birthday." –cornymagician424 7."Um, I vomited all over my date until my guts were empty. We haven't talked since. In fact, he blocked me on everything. Poor guy." –JaneDoe 8."When I was a young nurse (23) I dated a doctor who was seven years older than me, even though I KNEW it was a bad idea. He would stop by my unit daily and chat me up; I finally gave in." "He took me to a Wendy's, talked about how wonderful HE was, and spent a lot of time trying to convince me to come over to his place to 'meet his dog'. I declined the invitation to his house, which must have upset him, because he started saying nasty things about me at work. I later found out that he was talking to multiple girls throughout the hospital. I definitely dodged a bullet. Years later, our young children were on the same sports team, and he pretended to have no idea who I was… I 'reminded' him in front of his wife, and he again acted like a spoiled child by saying nasty things about me. What a winner." –LilBbNrs 9."He had gotten my number from a friend, and we talked for a while. We decided to go on a date. Went to Olive Garden to eat. It was going really "He was very self-obsessed and mostly talked about how much he works out, how much money he makes, his looks, etc. It started getting bad after he snapped at our waitress (who looked like a teenager) for spilling a little water on the table near him while pouring his drink. We're waiting to order, and he starts talking about all the girls he's dated in the past. He mentioned dating multiple girls at once, and I mentioned that was cheating. And I shit you not. He says, 'Yeah. That's fine, I'm a man. Men can do that stuff. They aren't supposed to stay pure like women.' I got up to 'go to the bathroom' and left. Absolutely not lol" –frigginfrogs 10."I basically babysat him the entire night. From the moment we met up, I could tell he was under the influence of something. He was highly paranoid and made the whole experience very awkward." "I spent the entire night reassuring him that everything was fine. He kept saying that people were looking at us or talking about us when they were not. He became wobbly after one drink, and while I considered leaving him while he was in the restroom, my conscious wouldn't let me do that. I linked hands and walked him back to his hotel to ensure he made it there safely, and then quickly retreated to my vehicle to return home. Overall, it was the worst date I've ever been on. He messaged me a week later asking why, and I was very candid. He's a thirty-year-old adult. Our actions have consequences. Self-care is paramount." –krizten0626 11."Went on a blind date that a friend set me up with (only because we are both tall). I had to pick him up and drive. When we got to the restaurant, he wanted to sit at the bar, then complained about the service, so he didn't pay." "At that point, I just wanted it to be over, so we left, and he saw that he forgot his phone inside. Didn't hear from him for a couple of days, so I figured he got the hint. Turns out he didn't go back for his phone. I blocked him and a couple of months later I saw him at a bar so when I left I had my guy friend walk me out and that crazy asshole yelled 'Slut!' so loud I could hear him from the parking lot." –edgycadet853 12."We were supposed to go to a snazzy cocktail bar, but he changed his mind and took us to the dive bar next door on our way in. He wouldn't stop picking his nose, literally did not ask me a single question about myself all night, drank five glasses of whiskey, and then freaked out about how expensive the bill was when it arrived (commenting, 'you gotta help me with this'). "He rattled off a list of all of his favorite dinosaurs from Jurassic World, informed me that he proudly chooses not to work a full-time job, and when I told him that was a recovering fundamentalist Christian he said 'it's good that you're not anymore because I wouldn't have sex with you if you were.' No thanks." –dizzywalrus918 13."It was a blind date through a mutual friend. I was feeling warm on the way to meet him, but I brushed that off as nerves. He took me to a holiday house party in the city. I was feeling like the edges were getting soft as the night wore on, and it was getting stuffy, and I was not feeling well." "On the way home, I rolled down my window for air and realized it was like 20 degrees out. I asked him to immediately pull over off the highway. He did, and I immediately started puking. A cop car pulled up, and the officer asked if everything was alright, and my date said yes, and the cop said, 'I wasn't asking you, pal' (I'll never forget that). We had to pull over four more times on the way back to his place, where my car was. I got back into my car and went home. I had the flu and was sick for several days! The guy kept calling to check on me to make sure I was okay. I was so humiliated. Never spoke to him again." –Bafsmom 14."We took a cab together to a drag show at a bar. I could tell he had been pregaming before I got there, but I thought nothing of it. As soon as we get to the bar, he pounds three shots back to back. That plus the liquor from earlier hit him at once and 15 minutes later, he shit himself." "Full blown poop water, all down his legs and soaked through his jeans. Instead of leaving, he sat behind the DJ booth drinking the rest of the night, away from everyone else. I told the bartender what happened, and he informed me that the guy had done the exact same thing approximately five times in the previous six months. I still went on a second date. No diarrhea this time, but he got kicked out of the same drag bar for offering to 'service' the bartender." –charmingminion318 15."At the time, I lived in the south metro area of the Twin Cities, and the guy I was going on a first date with lived and worked in Minneapolis. Although I wanted to meet in between, he insisted we go to this bar in Minneapolis near where he worked, which was a 30-minute drive for me. Okay, fine. I show up and am looking around because I can't see him anywhere. He sees me and waves me over." "I had met him through a dating app, and his pictures were clearly from 10 years and 100 lbs ago. He looked NOTHING like his pictures. I should have left, but I stayed and had a beer. He had been drinking whiskey cokes and had already had two by the time I made it. Anyway, he wanted to play pool, so we played a game or two before I politely told him I had to head home. He went to pay our bill, and his card was declined, so I went ahead and paid (it was happy hour and only like $18). He then walked me to my car and asked if he could hug me because he's a 'hugger.' I declined and said goodnight. As I was starting my car, I saw him pedaling off on his bicycle. So that explains why he couldn't meet in between. A week later, I got a 'hey girl, hey' text. Nope." –BigBabyPuddingSnatcher1 16."Was traveling in France and this guy I met was going on and on about what a great lover he was... so I decided to take him home that night." "Much to my chagrin and sadness, the dude had jagged, SNAGGLE nails!!! Suffice it to say, we did not get past the basement foreplay stage. NO SIR. Go handle that mess. THE WORST PART: I found out because I started bleeding from his snaggle daggers... only to have him TELL ME it must be my period. Like, WHAT??? Get outta here. TMI maybe, but that was THE WORST. Still shudder just thinking of the ick." –Littlefairywanderer 17."This was my first date after COVID, and I was excited to go to the local gay bar. When I got to the date, the guy was already plastered and kept trying to grab onto me like an octopus after leading us to a secluded corner. At one point, he loudly asked me my bra size." "Now, this would always be offensive, but I am a trans man (which I made clear multiple times) and was literally flying out in the morning to have top surgery! I tried to get him to take a cab home, but he refused. I didn't feel safe taking him to my place, considering how handsy he was and how he pouted about me refusing to let him kiss me. He texted me the next day apologizing, and seriously thought he would get a second date. At least he made it home safe, and so did everyone else on the road that night!" –messytable417 finally, "We went to a stand-up comedy show. He would not shut up during the sets. An usher finally told him to please be quiet, but he wouldn't stop talking! I finally had to say something and he got pissed. Said I was not supporting him. He left the venue and subsequently left the casino we were at. I had to Uber home." –danielleu445adb2d8 Do you have a dating horror story that belongs on this list? Let me know in the comments!

Opinion - Does Trump see an off-ramp for Iran's leaders and a historic tipping point?
President Trump has come to possibly one of the most historic tipping points of our time — a tipping point he may have accelerated. A tipping point which, if things continue in this direction, might recalibrate the Middle East for the better for decades to come. The question then becomes: How best to increase the positive momentum? One of the main reasons I believe Trump has been a successful and transformative president is because he brought decades of real-world business experience into the Oval Office for the first time in decades. Love them or not, Joe Biden was a 50-plus-years career politician; Barack Obama was a little-experienced local Chicago politician; George W. Bush was a 'nepo' politician who rode the coattails of his father; Bill Clinton was an academic and career politician; George H.W. Bush was a courageous war hero who then fell into a career of politics and diplomacy; Ronald Reagan was an actor and two-term governor of California; and so on and so on. All these presidents were still creatures of politics and beholden to their particular party. Aside from being the first president in our lifetimes to bring decades of real-world business experience into the White House, Trump gleefully and very publicly cut the special interests' umbilical cords which connected so many presidents to the entrenched elites in D.C. Hence the creation of the 'Never Trump' movement and now a decade of 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.' Trump does believe in 'America First.' To make that expression a reality, he is willing to break with the entrenched elites, outrage the legacy media, ignore academics who never worked in the real world, defy the 'globalist' leaders of other nations and, sometimes, challenge the thinking and perceptions of the MAGA movement. We are witnessing all those Trump tactics with regard to the latest Israel-Iran conflict. In the business world, you are often faced with 'buy,' 'sell' or 'sit this one out' opportunities. While building his global business empire, Trump has engaged in such negotiations thousands of times. More often than not, he acted upon instincts honed by decades of success. Many MAGA supporters — and quite possibly Trump himself — initially viewed the current Israel-Iran war as a 'sit this one out' situation. But Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear weapons facilities may have created an unplanned tipping point for Trump towards much greater peace and stability in the region, while strengthening the national security of the U.S. Going back to before to his first presidential campaign in 2015, Trump had long condemned the Iraq war, the tragic loss of life and the neocons and hawks who incessantly called for that invasion. We saw that same conviction from Trump when it came to the war in Ukraine. He wanted peace and was desperate to stop the useless slaughter of hundreds of thousands of human beings. During his decades of being a master business negotiator, Trump also knew that it was wise — and was often the key tactic — to offer the CEO and upper management of the company he was dealing with a face-saving off ramp. Trump may now sense that the leadership of Iran is desperate for such an off ramp. There is no doubt that Trump believes Iran to be a rogue state directly responsible for the killing and maiming of thousands of American soldiers; of controlling the most ruthless and dangerous terrorist organizations in the world; of openly calling for the annihilation of America; and which is directly destabilizing the Middle East, while causing the deaths and suffering of literally millions of people in the region. But that is the truth of the present and the past. What if one were presented with the rarest of opportunities — to affect the truth of the future? What if, via the actions of others, certain policies and happenstance, you were gifted a window to rid the world of a truly evil entity capable of killing millions? But it was a window quickly and maybe permanently slamming shut. No president in our lifetimes has pushed to keep Americans out of harm's way or for global peace more than Trump. He owes no one an apology nor an explanation. Trump does want peace — but knows peace and freedom come at a cost. In his first term, he saw the window to eliminate ISIS and jumped through it to crush the vilest terrorist organization the world has ever known. With regard to Iran, Trump ordered the elimination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, a man directly responsible for the killing and maiming of countless American troops. Businessman Trump has operated with the 'carrot and stick' method his entire adult life. Usually while flying by the seat of his pants. Trump created the 'America First' movement. Now, his instincts may be telling him he has a fleeting sliver of time to create an 'Iran First' movement for the long-suffering people of that nation — a people yearning to live in peace, who hate those who have turned their nation into a murderous theocracy. Iranians are poised to act, but they need a tipping point to give them cover not to be slaughtered in the streets if they rise as one to reclaim their country. Trump may be about to give them that tipping point. Douglas MacKinnon is a former White House and Pentagon official. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
