Drake is living by the saying "family first," after the untimely passing of a loved one.

The Young Money MC was scheduled to perform in Orlando, Fla., on Saturday night (July 16) at the Universal Orlando Resort but will no longer move forward with his set. Upon hearing the news that his uncle died, Drake's representatives released a statement detailing the cancellation of his show and the unfortunate passing.

"We regret to announce that Drake will not be able to take the stage at Universal Orlando Resort due to a death in the family," read the statement.

"He hopes that his fans understand the situation he finds himself in and know that he fully intends to return to the area in the future. He thanks Universal Orlando Resort and his fans for their continued support," the statement concluded.

TMZ reported on the 'Take Care' creator's uncle's death in addition to revealing that the rhymer has already united with his family.

Wow, I feel the love on this board! While I do believe that rap in general is ignorant garbage, and this whole sub-culture of having to have "street names" (I think Drake was one of Donald Duck's relatives?),
all this inflammatory race baiting is plain moronic.

Todays negroids are nothing more than ignorant savages like the rest of their species back in Africa. The only difference is we feed , house and clothe them in the US. They have monkey genes in their blood and it can't be bred away. Normal people that have sex with the negroid species create a light skinned ape that is very dangerous and unpredictable because it has poisoned blood.

What the hell is a "Drake"? And why would I care that he cancelled some ignorant "Rap" thing? Don't take no talent to act like a retard on stage and yell ho, bitch, money, bling, weed! Any fool can do that.

It is sad that a family member has passed on to eternity. However it is not sad that one of these saggy pants sideways idiot cap crouched over hand slinging racist rap crap noise makers has missed their so called gig. America is sick of that noise and the racist messages they send. We shall be glad when they and their music evolves to something better for our society besides one long victim wannabe pity party.
