*Dang, who knew Drake has something in common with Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr.? What could that possibly be you ask (if you somehow missed the headline)?
Like Trump and Junior, he got booed. Booed so bad, he left the stage at his buddy, Tyler the Creator‘s Camp Flog Gnaw music festival. The crowd obviously wanted and/or expected someone else. Frank Ocean, maybe?
But hey, who the heck could they possibly want to see more than Drake. We’ll let you ponder that one, ’cause we don’t have an answer. In any event, as the surprise headline, no was was more surprised than Drake, we’re sure, at the sour reception.
Like we said, maybe folks were feinin’ for Frank Ocean to the hit the stage and sing, but they got what they didn’t want, apparently: Drizzy rapping.

Naturally, folks are wondering what Tyler the Creator is thinking of the incident. Here’s what he wrote on Twitter:
“I THOUGHT BRINGING ONE OF THE BIGGEST ARTIST ON THE F**KING PLANET TO A MUSIC FESTIVAL WAS FIRE! BUT FLIPSIDE, A LIL TONE DEAF KNOWING THE SPECIFIC CROWD IT DREW.” He added, “SOME CREATED A NARRATIVE IN THEIR HEAD AND ACTED OUT LIKE ASS***** WHEN IT DIDNT COME TRUE AND I DONT F*** WITH THAT.”
