Fans of Canadian rapper Drake have pointed out a problem with his upcoming 2025 n tour.
The One Dance hitmaker, 38, announced he was coming Down Under 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, performing shows in Melbourne, Sydney and on the Gold Coast.
But eagle-eyed fans have pointed out a potential scheduling hiccup as Drake’s Aussie tour begins on the same day as the NFL Super Bowl.
‘I’m so confused tho did Drake think people not gonna watch the Super Bowl to see him live in ?’ one fan asked on X, formerly known as Twitter.
However, others were quick to point out the time difference between and the US, with some suggesting there is a very good reason Drake would want to be on the other side of the world when the Super Bowl kicks off.

‘Drake scheduled an n tour for Feb 9 through March… I wonder what else is happening that day that he wanted to be out the country,’ one fan wrote.
They were alluding to the fact that the 2025 Super Bowl Half-Time Show will be headlined by Drake’s rival Kendrick Lamar.
‘He’s going far as humanly possible to not hear about the Super Bowl,’ one fan commented, while another chimed in with a similar: ‘He had to leave the whole continent.’
Others suggested that if Drake was trying to steal his rival’s thunder, he may be misguided.
‘Does he know that it’s 17 hours ahead? So if he’s trying to distract people, he won’t?’
However, another suggested that Drake would come out on top, if it were indeed a publicity battle.
‘The Super Bowl – it’s a 12 minute performance and it’s done. Drake Tour will flood the timeline and kill the Super Bowl performance hype,’ 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 this March, when Lamar dissed J. Cole and Drake on Like That in response to their 2023 song First Person Shooter, where Cole claims he, Drake and Lamar are the ‘big three’ in modern rap music.

In early April, Cole responded by offering up the diss track 7 Minute Drill, but within a week apologised for the song and removed it from streaming services.
Drake jumped into the mix by releasing the songs Push Ups and Taylor Made Freestyle later in April, which led to a back-and-forth between the two stars.
Drake, 38, sent fans wild when he announced he was touring during an Instagram live-stream with Canadian streamer XQC this week.
He said he was naming the tour ‘the Anita Max Wynn Tour’, which is the alter ego he introduced online last December.
‘He’s going far as humanly possible to not hear about the super bowl,’ one fan commented while another chimed in with a similar: ‘He had to leave the whole continent’
‘February 9th for anybody that’s watching from , I’m coming back to for the first time in eight years. Coming back to on tour,’ he said.
‘Funny enough, 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 Drake’s cartoon character alter ego who styles himself in a pink and yellow outfit with a bob haircut and glasses.
He often uses the pseudonym and caricature as a gambling mascot, with Anita Max Wynn sounding like the popular gambling term ‘I need a max win’.
