It's finally happened. Drake has shown up someplace where people are not excited to see him. This past weekend, Tyler, The Creator brought his Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. As always, the show included a lineup of huge stars, including Tyler, Solange, YG, Earl Sweatshirt, DaBaby, 21 Savage, FKA twigs, Juice WRLD, and Yasiin Bey. But when Tyler announced the lineup, the poster featured a set of question marks to indicate a surprise-guest headliner. The crowd expected Frank Ocean. They got Drake. They were not happy.
Last night, Tyler introduced surprise guest Drake, who came out in a Smashing Pumpkins shirt and performed nine songs, including a multiple-hit medley. But with plenty of time left in his allotted set, Drake addressed the audience: "I'm here for you tonight. If you want to keep going, I will keep going tonight. What's up? If you want to keep going, I will keep going tonight." The crowd: "Nooooo!" Drake: "Well, look. It's been love. I love y'all. I go by the name of Drake. Thank you for having me." And then he walked offstage. That was the end of the festival.
There are many different fan-shot videos of Drake ending his set early. In the different videos, you can hear the boos at different volume levels; maybe some corners of the crowd were more pissed off than other. But that crowd was pretty clearly booing Drake, and they were pretty clearly chanting, "We want Frank!" (Frank Ocean has only performed once at Camp Flog Gnaw, back in 2013.) Watch some very cringey videos below.
