Drake wrote, I’ve spent the past few days trying to wrap my mind around this devastating tragedy. I hate resorting to this platform to express an emotion as delicate as grief but this is where I find myself. My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering. I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in any way I can. May God be with you all.

Drake has been named in a lawsuit filed earlier this week alongside Scott and festival promoters Live Nation which affirms that they hold responsibility to varying degrees for the mayhem and deadly events that took place.

The lawsuit specifically states that Drake “helped incite the crowd” which caused it to surge forward which formed the suffocating crush that resulted in deaths and injuries.

Drake or a representative has not commented on any of the plaintiff's claims to date.
