Drake Receives Threats From ISIS After Telling Muslim Women to Ditch Their Hijabs

The ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker is being threatened by the terrorist group after he allegedly told four Muslim girls at his concert to take off their hijabs.


Drake reportedly receives threats from terrorist group ISIS after he allegedly told four Muslim girls at his concert to take off their hijabs. During his recent London show, the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker was heard telling the women to ditch their head scarves.
“I see you four girls right there, I hope you having a good time,” Drake said in a video shared by Islamic website Izaha.com, as quoted by MediaTakeOut, “You got on that a** scarf right there, you might want to take this off… You don’t need to come out with that s**t.” According to the site, ISIS has issued a public threat against the “One Dance” singer as they believe he “disrespects” Islam or its customs and traditions.
On Friday, February 10, Drake took to Instagram to address the report. He denied telling the four Muslim girls to take off their hijabs during concert. He wrote, “I make a point every night to end my shows on tones of unity and love so, to find out that I am being utilized in a fake media story about me disrespecting Muslims is devastating to me.”
“At my show in the 02 in London I was talking to 4 women one of whom was wearing a jacket and a winter scarf, I made a comment about taking off the scarf because I enjoy friendly banter with the fans,” he continued, “I am well aware of what a hijab is and I would never make a disrespectful comment like that in my life towards someone who is wearing one.”
“I am proud that my closest friends and fans come from all different religions and races, perhaps whoever made up this story should spend more time learning about other cultures and less time trying to divide us,” he concluded.

Record signing, Oscar lands in Shanghai to join SIPG

 Brazilian midfielder Oscar landed in Shanghai on Monday where the 25-year-old was set to smash the Asian transfer record with a reported 60 million euros ($63 million) deal with Shanghai SIPG. Dozens of supporters chanting club songs swarmed the former Chelsea player at the city’s Pudong airport. Oscar’s arrival in the Chinese Super League comes ahead of that of Argentina’s former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who signed for Shanghai Shenhua in another big-money deal last week.  Tevez’s transfer fee was 10.5 million euros, according to the website transfermarkt.com, which tracks dealings in the sport, though the reported two-year contract of 38 million euros per season ($40 million) makes him the world’s highest salaried footballer.
