What’s Really Going On?

While an official explanation hasn’t been given, fans have raised a few theories:

1. Kendrick Lamar Beef – Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar escalated after the Grammys, where Kendrick’s diss track Not Like Us won big. Some believe this played a role in his sudden exit.
   
2. Early Exit from Australia – Before the announcement, fans tracked Drake’s private jet, which reportedly left Australia for Fiji and then Toronto. Could something urgent have pulled him away?
   
3. New Music Incoming? – Drake recently hinted at new projects, including a collab with PARTYNEXTDOOR. Some think he’s prioritizing music over touring.

Fans React

Drake’s recent Australia shows made headlines when he handed out wads of cash to lucky fans. Now, many are left frustrated, especially since no official explanation has been given.

For now, all we know is that the shows will be rescheduled—eventually. But with Drake, anything could happen.
