Rod Wave was recently spotted hanging out with Druski at Drake’s latest tour stop in Los Angeles. In a video circulating online, the two seem to be enjoying the rapper’s show at the Crypto Arena. Additionally, Druski noted how excited he was to attend the show with one of his best celebrity buds. The social media personality went as far as to call the rapper his “twin.”
However, they aren’t the only ones to attend the Toronto rap star’s It’s All A Blur Tour. Earlier this week, LeBron James walked out with Drake for the beginning of his show. Several other celebs have been seen attending his tour, including Bad Bunny, Kim Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner. It’s to say everyone has a little Drake fan in them.
As has been noted, Rod Wave and Druski have a very close relationship. The two friends are frequently together on social media, and Druski, being a comedian, often teases his friend. Last March, Druski teased Rod Wave for having trouble starting his jetski while on a trip together. Druski laughed the entire way through as he narrated a funny video, joking that Rod looked like he was moving at a snail’s pace. “Ah, hell. Rod, don’t do it! Rod, don’t do it, man! Ah, sh*t. Man, they done got Rod,” yelled Druski, calling out to his friend.
In other related news, Rod Waver recently offered some complaints about dealing with fame. A few days ago, DJ Akademiks posted a message from the rap star from a recent Instagram Story. Rod Wave says he thinks being famous is “lame” because of how the media can spin negative stories to anyone. Even more, he says it’s “unfair” and claims it has hurt his feelings . “fame sh*t lame, square a** blog n*ggas even worse,” he wrote. “Anybody can say your name how they want to, and a blog site jus gone spread it to da world. He continued: “and ppl believe it. sh*t not fair. don’t even care who y’all hurt wit dat sh*t.”

Taylor Swift is encouraging rising artists to stay away from reading social media comments too closely.
During a conversation with The New York Times about songwriting, the “Shake It Off” singer explained that although criticism can sometimes become a “creative writing prompt,” constantly checking comments online can leave artists overwhelmed by negativity.
“My favourite thing when I sit down with new artists or songwriters, I'm like, ‘Why are you reading your comments?’ Like, that's too much of it,” she said. “You're inundating yourself with too much criticism that doesn't really have a focus. But a little bit of it, you've got to just be like, this is part of (the job). Like, don't make this make you stop writing or make you edit yourself or whatever.”
Swift, 36, also shared that she often tells other musicians to channel criticism into music instead of firing back at people online or posting long responses in the Notes app.
“If it's an interesting point to you to kind of respond to, then that's a gift for you to be able to write something. Maybe you wouldn't have written something that day,” she continued. “But don't go to the Notes app and post it, like write (a song) about it. Make art about this. Don't respond to trolls in your comments. That's not what we want from you. We want your art.”
The global superstar went on to say that criticism has inspired some of the biggest songs throughout her career. She pointed to her 2014 hit “Blank Space,” saying it likely would not have happened without people constantly focusing on her dating life and creating “slideshow” style narratives about her relationships.
Speaking about her 2022 track “Anti-Hero,” Swift added, “That song doesn't exist if I don't get criticised for every aspect of my personality that people have a problem with or whatever.”
