is in the doghouse with fans criticizing the rapper for forgetting the lyrics to his songs on stage. 

During several of his It’s All a Blur Tour stops, crowd members have said some viewers "groaned" when Drake forgot his own lyrics.

A day after the Canadian-born singer, 36, performed for the second consecutive night at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote: “Baby the ladies on tik tok [sic] saying drake couldn’t remember the words to half his songs in Atlanta.

“He tried to give them an encore and she said the crowd groaned."

When another user asked for a concert attendee to confirm whether the rumors, one person replied, “He did I was there he said he’d brb and we all left.”

Another fan said they had a similar experience during Drake’s show in Dallas, Texas.

However, in Dallas, Drake kept stopping to speak, boring fans who only wanted to hear his music.

“Omg finally. In Dallas he kept stopping for like 10 min monologues. My whole section was muttering. I was really disappointed,” they tweeted.

In August, a TikTok user posted a video of Drake seemingly forgetting the lyrics to Ginuwine’s 1999 song So Anxious, which he sang over the beat of his hit Legend.

“just waiting for Drake to sing at least one of his songs how he actually recorded them so I can sing along,” the user captioned the clip.

On the plus side, some fans have gotten to walk away with gifts with eye-watering price tags from the singer.

Last month, during a concert in LA, Drake gifted a pink Hermès Birkin bag, retailed at $30,000, to one lucky fan in the front row.

As he handed the expensive tote to the woman, he said, “Make sure she has security on the way out.”

Earlier this month, the rapper also gave $50,000 to a fan who claimed they spent their furniture money on tickets.

The fan caught Drake's attention by holding up a sign that read: “Drake I spent my furniture money on your two shows, OVO for life.”

“My man, your furniture money?” the hitmaker replied. “Imma give you 50 bands tonight ’cause I love you. Make sure he gets his money tonight.”

Drake’s It’s All a Blur Tour continues Thursday and Friday with shows in Miami.

Fans will undoubtedly be keeping their ears peeled for any slip-ups in the lyrics.
