The 6ix God had come under fire this week after video surfaced of Drake telling fans (presumed to be Muslim) to remove their scarves during a recent show in London.

In the video below Drake says, “I see you four girls right there. I hope you having a good time. You got on that hot ass scarf right there, you gon’ have to take this off. You gotta turn this muthaf**ka up. You don’t have to come out with that s**t.”

 

 

Fans took to social media to blast Drake, accusing him of being disrespectful to Muslims.

Drake has since responded and said the news story was completely fake. He posted the following to Instagram,

“I make a point every night to end my shows on tones of unity and love so, to find out that I am being utilized in a fake media story about me disrespecting Muslims is devastating to me. At my show in the 02 in London I was talking to 4 women one of whom was wearing a jacket and a winter scarf, I made a comment about taking off the scarf because I enjoy friendly banter with the fans. I am well aware of what a hijab is and I would never make a disrespectful comment like that in my life towards someone who is wearing one. 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.”

This comes off the heels of Drake speaking out against US President Donald Trump at a recent show…
