Drake's team refutes Sweden arrest rumors

Canadian rapper Drake has not been arrested in Sweden, his team told several US media outlets, dispelling widespread Twitter speculation that eventually spread across the internet.

Internet speculation suggested Drake had been arrested by local police at a Stockholm nightclub after being busted for possession of marijuana.

Hours after the fake news went viral, his team categorically told several media outlets that the braided Grammy winner was in his hotel in the Swedish capital and had, infact, not been arrested.

As documented in a series of Instagram posts seen by Citizen Digital, the ‘Take Care’ rapper landed at Sweden’s Arlanda airport on Wednesday, flying via his personal baby blue Boeing 767 christened ‘Air Drake.’

Since touching down in the Swedish capital, local media reports say the rapper visited the trendy Östermalm district of Stockholm and later hit up the swanky Ciccio’s restaurant.

Last month, Drake released his house-inspired seventh studio album ‘Honestly, Nevermind,’ which debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 and spawned a couple meme-worthy hits that lit up TikTok.

On Wednesday, Drake revealed details of a music festival in his hometown Toronto slated for later this month.

Dubbed 'October World Weekend', the concert is set to take place July 28 - August 1 with a star-studded lineup that will include a much-hyped about Young Money (Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj) reunion as well as appearances from Atlanta rapper Lil Baby and singer  Chris Brown.
