Canadian rapper Drake stopped his Sydney, Australia, concert mid-song Wednesday night to chastise a fan for allegedly groping women in the audience.

Drake stopped in the middle of his hit song “Know Yourself” to call out the alleged perpetrator at Sydney’s Marquee nightclub.

“If you don’t stop touching girls, I will come out there and f—- you up,” he said, pointing at the fan.



“If you don’t stop putting your hands on girls, I’m gonna come out there and f—- you up myself,” he said as the audience erupted in cheers.

The concert was paused for several seconds while security officers tracked down the fan, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

“A male was removed by security during Drake’s performance,” a club spokesperson told The Herald, adding that the venue has “zero tolerance for anti-social behavior.”

Several videos of the encounter were posted by fans on Instagram.
