Famous Canadian rapper Drake was in Argentina for the famous Lollapalooza festival. It is a three-day music festival where famous musicians from around the world perform.

The Grammy award winner is known for the famous Drake’s Curse in the sports world. His fans were excited to see the rapper perform. Meanwhile, many fans were disappointed as the rapper cut short his performance and also the live stream of the show. However, the Canadian rapper won hearts by singing the famous Argentine World Cup song.
