Jagmeet Singh recently issued an apology on social media for attending a Kendrick Lamar concert in Toronto, following criticism from fans and rapper Drake. Singh, the former federal NDP leader, was seen at the Rogers Centre during one of Lamar's Toronto shows, part of the Grand National Tour with SZA. Photos of Singh at the event circulated online, sparking controversy over his attendance.

Drake publicly commented on Singh's presence by sharing a screenshot of an Instagram message he sent to Singh, calling him a 'goof.' Singh responded shortly after, explaining that he attended the concert for SZA, not Kendrick, and expressed regret for his decision to attend.

The apology from Singh comes amidst heightened tensions in the hip-hop world, particularly between Lamar and Drake. Lamar's Toronto shows marked his return to the city after a well-known feud between the two rappers. One of the standout moments from the concerts was Lamar's performance of 'Not Like Us,' a diss track aimed at Drake, which received a positive response from the audience.

Despite the applause, the track has led to legal action from Drake, who is suing Universal Music Group, the label representing Lamar and SZA, alleging that the song falsely portrays him as a pedophile and poses a threat to his safety. It's important to note that none of these claims have been proven in court.

In his statement, Singh clarified that he was not picking sides but shared his preference over social media. 'OVO and Drake have made significant contributions to this city and Canada,' Singh stated. 'For me, it will always be Drake over Kendrick.'
