Drake: Rapper’s Team Denies He Was Arrested At Sweden Night Club

Drake’s team is denying that the rapper has been arrested, according to XXL. On Thursday (July 14), the hashtag #FreeDrake began to trend on Twitter insinuating that the rapper had been arrested. Unconfirmed reports began spreading, leading fans to believe that the Honestly, Nevermind rapper and his security team had been arrested at a nightclub in Sweden.

Videos online surfaced that Drake’s plane “Air Drake” had landed in Sweden Wednesday (July 13). It is unclear why Drake is in the country.

Fans quickly flocked to Twitter using the #FreeDrake hashtag

If the rumors were true, this would have been the second time in recent memory that a rapper had been arrested over in Sweden. Back in 2019, A$AP Rocky was arrested in the country which later needed the help of President Trump to get him back over the U.S.
