With the massive speculation going on, Drake's team has finally cleared the air. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Drake was NOT arrested in Sweden over marijuana nor in any capacity.
The GRAMMY-winning rapper was in his hotel at the time the statement was released.
As of this writing, it is unknown what the singer is doing in the country - no news on whether he is recording new music or doing something substantially was reported.
Drake Alleged Arrest in Sweden, Like A$AP Rocky's?
Among the recurring content of the memes that trended online along with the #FreeDrake thread was the issue that Canada would be going to war with Sweden for the rapper's freedom.
Particularly how Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would haggle over Drake's release on the Swedish Government. This is because, in 2019, former President Donald Trump arranged A$AP Rocky's release from the country following a violent arrest.
Rocky spent a month in jail in Sweden and was later found guilty of assaulting a man. He then received a conditional sentence.
With the rumors finally debunked, Drake's fans are finally put to ease knowing that the rapper was not arrested and taking his well-deserved vacation.
Drake recently announced the October World Weekend lineup with Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Lil Baby, and Chris Brown at the end of this month.
