Rapper Drake Caught Under Scanner for Kissing, Inappropriately Touching Minor in Resurfaced Video

A video of Rapper Drake is viral on social media. In the video clip, he can be seen kissing and inappropriately touching a 17-year-old girl during one of his previous concerts. The rapper is receiving a lot of backlash on social media over a video.

In the 94 second-long video, the rapper is visible standing behind the girl and asks her, “I told you I like your hair, right? What is it, like herbal essences? Smells fresh.”

He then goes on to kiss her neck and wrap his arms around her chest as the amused audience roared with laughter. After taking a moment, Drake addressed the crowd on the mic, “Y’all know I get carried away again, I get in trouble for s**t.”

The rapper next asked the girl her age and she replied she was 17.

In the video, an exasperated Drake can be seen flinging his hands as the crowd laughed and booed him off simultaneously.

Drake said, “I can’t go to jail yet, man! 17? Why you look like that? You thick.”

“I don’t know if I should feel guilty or not but I had fun. I like the way your breasts feel against my chest,” he added.

The “Signs” hitmaker then kissed the girl on her hand, both cheeks and forehead before giving her a peck on the lips.

The video was posted the same day “Surviving R Kelly”, a controversial six-part documentary about Drake’s alleged decades of sexual abuse with under-aged women, started airing.

As per a YouTube user, the video was filmed in 2010 and took place at a show in Denver, reports eonline.com.

Many people took to Twitter to voice criticism of Drake over the video, with some also mentioning his controversial friendship with 14-year-old “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown.

Likewise, in August 2018, Moh Moh Ke Dhage singer Papon landed himself in controversy when he forcefully kissed a minor girl on camera during Holi celebrations of Voice India Kids, the show that he was judging.

A video was uploaded on Papon’s official Facebook page in which the singer was seen applying colour on a female contestant’s face and kissing her. Following this, a Supreme Court lawyer had moved the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights against singer Angarag Papon Mahanta, accusing him of sexually assaulting a minor girl.

After much backlash from activist and social media alike, he had to step down as the judge of the show.

Following the kissing controversy, Papon maintained a low profile with limited media interactions. The incident caused outrage to the extent that fans boycotted his songs and the singer was barred from performing in many Bihu festivals.
