Drake offered 20,000 fans at London’s O2 Arena a refund last night after 24-year-old guest rapper Travis Scott fell offstage during the show.
“I’m doing this s— for free tonight,” Drake said after the accident. “I don’t give a f—.” For those who were skeptical of his claim, he reiterated the promise at the end of the concert: “London England, I love you, I hope you enjoyed your free show,” reports the BBC.

The rapper was performing “Goosebumps” and everyone was jumping when Scott tripped and fell into a hole in the middle of the stage. He was gone for a few seconds before Drake helped him back up and the concert continued. Scott seemed uninjured, but he damaged part of the set when he fell; a huge globe was broken and couldn’t be brought onto the stage.
Travis later tweeted the gig was fun and “London is wild.”
The concert was the second of a seven-gig residency at the arena. On the opening night of the tour Drake brought out Section Boyz, Giggs and Kyla.
The Scott incident wasn’t the first setback of Drake’s Boy Meets World tour. Three dates (two in Glasgow, Scotland, and one in London) were rescheduled from the end of January to March due to “unforeseen production setbacks.”
