This weekend both Travis Scott and Tyler, The Creator hosted their very own music festivals - while Travis's booking of Marilyn Manson at Astroworld Festival was bemusing but well-received, Tyler's Camp Flog Gnaw festival ended up a little negative when the crowd booed Drake off stage.
The festival had already announced the likes of Solange, Brockhampton and more, but the headlining act Drake was kept a secret. So, when Drizzy appeared on stage, fans were apparently not pleased.
Drake performed a few songs, including Views favourite Feel No Ways, before telling the crowd, "Like I said, I'm here for you tonight. If you want to keep going, I will keep going tonight."
When the booing continued, Drake called it a night. "Alright, it's been love. I love y'all. I go by the name of Drake, thank you for having me."
Tyler, The Creator was not happy with the crowd's treatment of Drake, and we totally understand why. He hit up Twitter after the festival, scolding the crowd for acting "sooo entitled and trash".
I THOUGHT BRINGING ONE OF THE BIGGEST ARTIST ON THE FUCKING PLANET TO A MUSIC FESTIVAL WAS FIRE! BUT FLIPSIDE, A LIL TONE DEAF KNOWING THE SPECIFIC CROWD IT DREW. SOME CREATED A NARRATIVE IN THEIR HEAD AND ACTED OUT LIKE ASSHOLES WHEN IT DIDNT COME TRUE AND I DONT FUCK WITH THAT

He also changed his Twitter bio to say he was embarrassed by his fans. Yikes.
Regardless of how you feel about an artist, it's never appropriate to boo them off stage. Don't forget that these megastars are people just showing up their jobs - don't like their music? Walk away, but don't actively abuse the artist on stage! Not cool.
man.. how did u guys manage to make TYLER THE CREATOR embarrassed ... https://t.co/uWRhJMzmoI
