Though he does not welcome most items on stage, the “Headlines” rapper has come to associate undergarments with a positive performance,expressing disappointmentwhen the stage was braless during a recent show in Montreal, Canada.
“I would just like to say, before I go onto this next song, this is the first stage where I don’t have no bras, and I’m deeply disappointed,” Drake told the crowd, perfan-captured footage. “But don’t start throwing shoes and phones and s—.”
He continued: “If you got a bra, though, just let me know that I still got it ‘cause I feel like I might be having a bad show or something.”
