Days after performing at Astroworld as a surprise guest, Drake has shared some words regarding the tragedy that killed 8 people and injured hundreds.

Drake said, “I’ve spent the past few days trying to wrap my mind around this devastating tragedy. I hate resorting to this platform to express as emotion as delicate as grief but this is where I find myself. My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering.”

He adds, “I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in any way I can. May God be with you all.”
