Jagmeet Singh Apologizes After Drake Calls Him Out Over Kendrick Lamar Concert
So, here’s what everyone’s been talking about lately—Jagmeet Singh at the Kendrick Lamar concert in Toronto. Yeah, that Kendrick Lamar concert. The one making headlines not just because of the performance, but because of the fierce Drake vs. Kendrick beef that’s taken over the music world in the last year. And Jagmeet? He found himself caught in the middle.

Over the weekend, former federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh was spotted at the Rogers Centre, where Kendrick Lamar and SZA were performing as part of the “Grand National Tour.” Photos of Singh in the crowd quickly made the rounds online, and let’s just say the internet didn’t let it slide. But what really set the whole thing ablaze was Drake’s reaction. He took to Instagram, called Singh a “goof” in a direct message, and essentially accused him of betraying the city.
Now, this isn’t just celebrity gossip. This moment spiraled into something bigger. Drake and Kendrick’s feud has been brewing for months, with diss tracks flying back and forth. Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” has taken on anthem status among his supporters, and he even performed it live in Toronto to thunderous applause—and repeated encores. It’s personal, raw, and yes, legally contentious. Drake is currently suing Universal Music Group, claiming the track portrays him falsely and dangerously. So for Singh to be at that show? That hit a nerve.
Singh did respond, though. In a public apology posted to Instagram, he admitted he shouldn’t have gone. He tried to clarify by saying, “I went for SZA, not Kendrick,” and emphasized his loyalty to Drake, saying, “OVO and Drake have lifted this city and Canada. For me, it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.” It felt sincere, especially coming from someone who has long positioned himself as connected to the culture and community.
Still, this incident reflects something deeper. Singh, born and raised in Toronto, is no stranger to its music scene. His attendance wasn’t some calculated political move—it looked more like a fan showing up to enjoy a concert. But in a city where music can be as politically charged as Parliament Hill, timing and context matter. And showing up to support an artist currently in a war of words—and lawsuits—with one of Toronto’s biggest icons was always going to spark controversy.
In the end, Singh owned up to it. No dodging, no excuses. Just a simple, clear message: he gets it, and he regrets the move. Whether that will be enough for Drake—or for Toronto’s fiercely loyal fanbase—remains to be seen. But one thing’s certain: this was more than just a night out. It became a full-blown cultural moment.
