Drake was supposed to perform at Universal Studios Summer Concert series that was supposed to take place on July 16th in Orlando, Florida. Due to his uncle’s death, he was forced to cancel the said concert.
Young Drake and his representatives apologized to fans in a written statement and thanked the officials at Universal as well.
“We regret to announce that Drake will not be able to take the stage at Universal Orlando Resort due to a death in the family,” a rep for Drake said in a statement released today. “He hopes that his fans understand the situation he finds himself in and know that he fully intends to return to the area in the future. He thanks Universal Orlando Resort and his fans for their continued support.”
The death of Drake’s uncle marks the second time a Young Money Records artist has lost a family member, in less than a month.
On July 4th, Nicki Minaj’s cousin Nicholas Telemaque was gunned down in Brooklyn, New York.
