In addition, Tyler also responded online to the negative audience reaction. The rapper tweeted “I thought bringing one of the biggest artists on the planet to a music festival was fire.”

He ridiculed the boo-ers, calling them ‘trash’. He likened the behaviour to ‘mob mentality’ and ‘cancel culture in real life’ in a number of NSFW tweets on Monday. Therefore, supporting Drake’s performance.
