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.
