Drake cancels TIFF appearance

Drake’s scheduled appearance Thursday at the Toronto International Film Festival was cancelled. The Toronto rapper was expected to introduce the Canadian première of Monsters and Men, a drama about police violence. A statement sent by TIFF says “due to scheduling commitments on his current tour” he wasn’t able to attend. Drake is credited as executive producer on Monsters and Men, which follows a Brooklyn community rocked by the shooting death of a black man at the hands of a police officer.
