Earlier this year, Drake was floated as someone who could potentially headline Coachella. In fact, there were some rumors suggesting that he was a finalist. It makes sense. With three new albums worth of material this year, Drizzy would be the perfect headliner. He came through with some massive hits, and fans would be eager to hear them on stage.
Unfortunately for Drake and his fans, headlining Coachella was not to be. The lineup was announced on Tuesday night, and Drizzy's name was not on it. Interestingly enough, the artist decided to react to Coachella's announcement on their official Instagram page.
In the photo above, you can see that Drake left a crying emoji. It's a reaction that suggests he is feeling left out and wants those feelings to be known. That said, this is Drake we are talking about. There is a very realistic possibility that this was meant to just be petty.
At this time, it is unclear why Drake wasn't selected. Perhaps Coachella decided he was too controversial. Maybe Drake himself decided to turn it down? Whatever the case may be, you won't be hearing ICEMAN at music's biggest festival.
Who Is On The Coachella Lineup?
The Coachella lineup includes some of the biggest artists in the world. For instance, the headliners include Dua Lipa, Tame Impala, and SZA. Artists like Madonna, Zara Larsson, Steve Lacy, Don Toliver, Kehlani, and Fetty Wap will all be performing. However, hip-hop acts remain sparse for this year's event.
Coachella will take place in Indio, California, at the Empire Polo Club. Furthermore, it is a two-weekend event. The first weekend is between April 9-11 and the second is between April 16-18. It is slated to be a massive event, although for some fans, the lack of hip-hop is a real vibe killer.Drake
