Drake Arrest In Sweden: The Truth Is Revealed on Instagram
Canadian rapper Drake has seemingly confirmed reports of his arrest in Sweden last July after sharing a video on Instagram.
The eight second clip shows Drake being handcuffed and taken to a police car by two officers. Members of his crew can also be seen walking alongside him.
Speculation about Drake’s arrest began circulating on social media in July 2022, with the hashtag #FreeDrake on Twitter. At the time, representatives for the rapper denied that he had been arrested, stating that he was simply at his hotel and not a police station.
Huffington Post journalist Phillip Lewis took to Twitter and said the speculation was false.
“FYI: I spoke with Swedish police and they told me that Drake is not currently in their custody. (That was the only information they would provide),” he wrote.
Lewis also confirmed, “From Drake’s team: ‘Drake is at his hotel and has not been arrested.’
However, Drake later hinted that the arrest actually took place when he shared a picture on Instagram of a document from the National Police Agency.
In his latest post, Drake seemingly confirmed the incident once and for all. Alongside the video of his arrest, he shared a photo of himself and collaborator 21 Savage, along with a caption that read:
“The means are useful/The lyrics are truthful/The suspects are common/The opps are delusions/The finish line is beautiful/And the disrespect is mutual/See you in 23.”
It remains unclear what specific charges Drake is facing regarding the arrest.
However, reports have suggested that the arrest may have been related to marijuana-related crimes while Drake was partying at a club in Stockholm.
