Drake Booed Off Stage, Stormy Daniels Raps ‘F— Donald Trump’ at Camp Flog Gnaw
Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival is always entertaining — last year featured Kanye West and Kid Cudi performing inside a giant glass box. But it inadvertently outdid itself this year with surprise appearances from Drake — who was booed offstage by a crowd that was expecting Frank Ocean — and, of all people, former adult-film star and Donald Trump paramour Stormy Daniels, who joined YG for his song “FDT (F— Donald Trump).” Held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, the show also featured Tyler, Solange, Earl Sweatshirt, DaBaby, 21 Savage, FKA twigs, Juice WRLD and Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def).

The response was overwhelmingly negative.
“Well, look,” Drake said. “It’s been love. I love y’all. I go by the name of Drake. Thank you for having me.” And with that, Camp Flag Gnaw 2019 came to a close.
