SiR is pointing fingers at Drake, claiming the rap superstar may have had a direct hand in the cancellation of a scheduled concert in Toronto last year.
During a recent live show in Canada, the Top Dawg Entertainment singer opened up to fans about the behind-the-scenes drama that led to the nixed tour date, which would’ve occurred in July 2024.
“So the venue in Toronto, which was partially owned by Drake, cancelled the show completely,” SiR revealed to the crowd in a now-viral clip. “Then when we tried to switch venues, the next venue was like, ‘Nah we ain’t f**cking with it, I ain’t taking no motherf**cking chance.’”

The Inglewood native went on to explain that he “kinda got caught” in the crossfire of the ongoing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, citing “complications” that were “too close to home for a lot of people.”
The cancellation came in the wake of Lamar’s explosive diss track “Not Like Us,” which took direct aim at Drake and has since become central in the latter’s ongoing lawsuit against Universal Music Group.
Initially, SiR took a diplomatic stance, apologizing to his Toronto fans and attributing the cancellation to the venue.

“So sorry to my Toronto fans. The show has been cancelled. We’re working on rescheduling for a later date,” he wrote on social media. “For those wondering, we sold that show out. It was cancelled by the venue. Not sure why. My apologies again to those that came just to see me.”
SiR isn’t the only TDE member affected. In 2024, ScHoolboy Q hinted that his own Toronto stop was similarly blocked, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “THey just cancelled my sHow in TORONTO,” followed by a laughing emoji. “CANADIAN POLICE DONT WANT NOBODY FROM TDE PERFORMING.”
