Drake is so damn popular now that the NYPD has to shut down his shows in order to keep crowds in order. Today, Drake played a free show today at South Street Seaport to celebrate the release of his debut album Thank Me Later. Turns out more fans showed up than anyone expected. The number was very high up in the thousands.
The crowd was too large, posing a potential risk, forcing the NYPD to cancel the show. The crowd then got rowdy and started to push, shove, and even fight. That is completely insane, because I’ve been to the Seaport many times and could never imagine that many people there. Pretty scary stuff.
Here is a fan video capturing the crowd in action:
Update! Here is another video:
Drake tweeted about the show being canned, saying “Police are shutting down the show at South Seaport! I’m on my way anyways…Drizzy Hendrix Woodstock 2010“….then eventually writing: “NYPD will not let me go on stage tonight“, “I am so dissapointed. To all the devoted fans that came out I wish you could have seen what I had planned! Until next time”
I guess this is what happens the day after pitchfork gives your album a 8.4…
