LOS ANGELES, Aug 16: Rapper Drake has finally released a statement about a shooting at his OVO Festival after party in Toronto.
The shooting occurred on August 4 and the 28-year-old Canadian rapper said he is still reeling from the tragedy, reported Us magazine.
“The last few days I have been in a moral bind,” he wrote on his blog.
“It’s tough in situations like this where there’s a tragedy and I consider the advice of my trusted advisors and counsel who worry that anything I might say could be misinterpreted. However, today I am choosing to follow my heart.”
The Degrassi alum went on to extend his condolences to the families of the deceased, Ariela Navarro-Fenoy and Duvel Hibbert.
The two were killed on August 4 inside Toronto nightclub Muzik, which hosted the official bash for Drake’s sixth annual music festival.
“I am plagued and pained by the violence that continues to escalate in our city,” he wrote, adding that despite its reputation as a major metropolis, Toronto is “still a small close-knit community” at its core. “It is our public responsibility to ensure the safety and wellbeing of one another.” (PTI)
