"This dude career has freefalled. Anit no way he announcing a tour at someone else is show. After the beef he has done everything through other artists. Sad.", opined a third.
Others also chimed in:
"Obviously he is gonna have it during the days Kendrick has his stadium tour in that area so he can try and say look it was not sold out people love me here... And if he backfires, that is gonna be a tough pill to swallow for him", commented a netizen.
"This is what these other artist hate about Drake. It’s awesome OVO fest is back bt he took the shine away frm his boy. that’s messed up. His IG would’ve blown up just as much with this announcement. I know that show was lit so this is putting brakes on the whole thing", stated another.
While a lot of fans were not sure how they felt about it, most wondering why he was even having it, many others were excited at the news, stating they would be attending the event.
"I will be paying top dollar to be front row on day 3" one fan commented.
"oh I'll be there!" stated another excitedly
