Drake has responded to some criticism he’s been receiving from environmentalists over an alleged 14-minute flight he took on his $200 million Air Drake private plane.
Reports about the short flight his Boeing 767 took from Toronto to Hamilton in Ontario came as part of an exposé by The Guardian last week (July 21), which also named Kylie Jenner, Floyd Mayweather, Kim Kardashian and Mark Wahlberg.
On Tuesday (July 26), the 6 God hopped into the Real Toronto Newz‘s Instagram comments to respond to the uproar, claiming that the plane was empty at the time and the flight was just so the plane could return to its home hangar for cleaning and routine maintenance.
“This is just them moving planes to whatever airport they are being stored at for anyone who was interested in the logistics,” he wrote. “Nobody takes that flight.”
Since The Guardian article, which lists Drake as the worst culprit for emitting CO2 emissions, environmentalists have continued to badger Drake and he’s faced a heavy backlash on social media throughout the week, prior to his explanation of why the plane was in the air for such a short amount of time.
“Drake is part of the problem, taking multiple 15 minute flights to Hamilton and back while the environment is collapsing. Dude, take the GO train ffs,” writer and filmmaker Jesse Hawken wrote on Twitter.
Technology reporter Temur Durrani tweeted: “Canadians will complain about climate change then pay thousands to go to the next Drake concert, acting like he isn’t taking his private jet on flights from Hamilton to Toronto.”
Drizzy gassed up Air Drake for a vacation to St. Tropez earlier in July, which saw him have some petty fun at Joe Budden’s expense and make a failed attempt at wooing a woman by Airdropping her a photo of herself.
What a wimpy whiny entitled j3w!$h punk bitch.
Wow. Racist much?
they will find something else after this FUCK’EM
They just mad they have no quick transportation like Drake does.
Good about time these ppl with millions get called out for their much bigger impact on the environment. But what about DiCaprio? He makes millions but has a super yacht? Why does he get away with hurting the environment?
I’m not hurting the environment, I’m fucking bodying that bitch! Have fun being poor, I’m gonna have Heidi lick caviar off my balls.
I know the feeling…. I once took an Uber ride that was 12 blocks.
My car was broke down and I took an uber for a $10 2 mile ride to autozone
Drake is responsible for much more than just garbage music, he’s also responsible for literally killing off the planet a couple years earlier
This was not only silly, but also shines a light on people not minding their own business as usual.
DRAKE DOESN’T STAND FOR OR REPRESENT ANYTHING. MAYBE FUCKBOY CULTURE. I GUESS THATS A THING THESE DAYS.
a private car ride from Toronto to Hamilton is 45 minutes to an hour. The same amount of time it would take to get to the airport get in the private plane fly it out to Hamilton airport then get in whatever car to the destination. Most people would rather take a car ride
Actually depends on the time of day. He probably had the option to beat traffic by taking the plane (which yea your right would of barely saved time) The only really problem is the environment which… the fucking Canadian prime minister basically only travels by his private jet, but yea he mad at Drake ?
All this eco wankers going after individuals LOL like they’re the real issue.
