Jagmeet Singh, former federal leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, found himself caught in the crossfire of hip-hop’s biggest beef after attending Kendrick Lamar’s “Grand National” tour stop in Toronto—Drake’s hometown.

Footage of Singh enjoying the show quickly went viral, sparking a reaction from none other than Drake himself. The OVO rapper took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a DM he sent to Singh, calling the politician a “goof” for showing up to his rival’s concert in the 6ix.

Singh later addressed the controversy on social media, offering a candid explanation for his attendance. “I went for SZA, not Kendrick,” he wrote. “I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it—I shouldn’t have gone at all.” He closed his message with a clear stance in the ongoing rap war: “For me, it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”

The incident comes after Kendrick received a thunderous two-minute standing ovation in Toronto following his explosive performance of “Not Like Us.” The crowd even chanted for an encore—underscoring just how deep the energy runs in this cultural clash.
