Fans of Canadian rapper Drake have pointed out a problem with his upcoming Australian tour in 2025.
The One Dance hitmaker, 38, announced he was coming to Australia for the first time in eight years during a podcast with Canadian streamer XQC this week.
He will kick off his tour on February 9, playing shows in Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast.
But eagle-eyed fans have pointed out a potential scheduling issue as Drake’s Australian tour kicks off on the same day as the NFL Super Bowl.
“I’m so confused, Drake thought people wouldn’t watch the Super Bowl to watch it live in Australia?” asked a fan on X, formerly known as Twitter.
However, others were quick to point out the time difference between Australia and the United States, with some suggesting there’s a very good reason why Drake would want to be on the other side of the world when the Super Bowl begins.

“Drake scheduled an Australian tour from February 9th to March… I wonder what else is going on that day he wanted to be out of the country,” one fan wrote.
They allude to the fact that the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show will be headlined by Drake’s rival, Kendrick Lamar.
“He’s going as far as humanly possible to not hear about the Super Bowl,” one fan commented, while another chimed in with something similar: “He had to leave the entire continent.”
Others suggested that if Drake was trying to steal his rival’s thunder, he might be wrong.
‘Do you know there are 17 hours left? So if you try to distract people, it won’t?
However, another suggested that Drake would emerge victorious, if this were truly a publicity battle.
‘The Super Bowl: it’s a 12-minute performance and that’s it. “Drake Tour will flood the timeline and kill the hype for the Super Bowl performance,” the fan wrote.
Lamar and Drake were initially friends and colleagues in the early 2010s and collaborated on the track Buried Alive Interlude.
But things fell apart in March, when Lamar criticized J. Cole and Drake on Like That in response to their 2023 song First Person Shooter, where Cole claims that he, Drake and Lamar are the ‘big three’ of music. modern rap

In early April, Cole responded by offering the song 7 Minute Drill, but within a week he apologized for the song and removed it from streaming services.
Drake jumped into the mix by releasing the songs Push Ups and Taylor Made Freestyle in late April, leading to a back-and-forth between the two stars.
Drake, 38, sent fans into a frenzy when he announced he was touring Australia during an Instagram live stream with Canadian streamer XQC this week.
She said she would call the tour ‘Anita Max Wynn Tour’, which is the alter ego she introduced online last December.
“He’s going as far as humanly possible to not hear about the Super Bowl,” one fan commented, while another chimed in with something similar: “He had to leave the entire continent.”
‘On February 9, for anyone watching from Australia, I will be returning to Australia for the first time in eight years. “I’m going back to Australia on tour,” he said.
“Funny that it’s actually called the Anita Max Wynn Tour,” Drake added, revealing that Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast were the only stops currently planned.
Anita Max Wynn is the alter ego of Drake’s cartoon character who dresses in a pink and yellow suit, a bob haircut, and glasses.
She often uses the pseudonym and caricature as the game’s mascot, and Anita Max Wynn sounds like the popular game term “I need a maximum win.”
