Drake Gets Destroyed by Fans After Canceling Concert Over Logistics
Fans were not pleased by Drake's last-minute cancellation this weekend - especially after he got an honorary key to the city earlier this year.
Key to the City
Drake disrespected Memphis too many times someone take his key to the city AWAY

Drake was given an honorary "key to the city" of Memphis just this year, so many fans find it all the more insulting that he has skipped the city on his tour.

Just found out Drake’s Memphis concert was cancelled because it’s literally impossible to fit the Virgil Abloh statue in the FedExForum😭 https://t.co/CgmSngSI1r pic.twitter.com/gvsB8zXdv2

Fans joked about the reasons Drake's show would be "logistically impossible" in the massive stadium, including elaborate set pieces and theatrical flairs.

Yeah that excuse makes no sense. You check the tour schedule and he’s going to much more inferior buildings than FedExForum. If Smoothie King Center is sufficient so is FedExForum. I don’t know what the true reason is but that ain’t it!

Some fans doubted the explanations given to them for Drake's cancellation, as they could not see why the venue couldn't accommodate his show.
