‘I can’t go to jail yet, man’
Drake under fire for kissing teen fan on stage
Video footage of Drake kissing and cuddling a 17-yearold female fan on stage at a 2010 gig has surfaced online.
The rapper, now 32, was performing at the Ogden Theatre in Denver in May 2010 when he invited the teen to join him during his show.
Footage filmed by a fan and posted on Twitter on Friday shows Drake slow dancing with the young woman, rubbing her shoulders, kissing her neck and then touching her chest in ahug.
After the audience cheered, the Hotline Bling hitmaker said: “Y’all are going to have me getting carried away again, I get in trouble for s— like this.”
He then asked the girl her age and she replied that she is 17.
Drake then responded by saying: “I can’t go to jail yet, man! 17? Why do you look like that? You thick (hot). Look at all this... Well look, I had fun. I don’t know if I should feel guilty or not, but I had fun.”
He then kisses the girl’s face several times again before saying goodbye to her and continuing the concert.
Despite the Twitter user who posted the footage claiming the girl was “underage”, the age of consent in Colorado is 17. And in Canada, the age of consent is 16.
