Drake’s just one show into his extensive “It’s All a Blur” Tour, and he’s already dealing with the flying cell phone trend — one pelted him in the wrist mid-performance. The Certified Lover Boy was serenading the crowd Wednesday night in Chicago with his own rendition of Ginuwine’s “So Anxious” … when he was assaulted with the phone.
It hit his left wrist, but he just watched it land on the ground, and was definitely not injured. Confused fans in the audience wondered what they had just witnessed, but Drake couldn’t be sidetracked from his mission … he never made a big deal about the phone, and simply continued crooning for the crowd. The phone wasn’t part of the plan, but Drake did have plenty of props onstage … life-sized tributes to both Virgil Abloh and the fertilization of life!!!
Social media has inspired concertgoers to throw phones at performers in hopes of getting an exclusive video, but the movement has resulted in disaster — ask Bebe Rexha, who’s just healing from facial injuries suffered last month when a fan hurled a phone at her head. Stars like Adele have vowed to strike back if phones fly their way, and we just got Jason Derulo’s take on the subject, who’d be proud of Drake’s reaction … because he thinks artists shouldn’t take pics with devices thrown onstage. Drake clearly isn’t interested in playing along with the trend.
