The rap realms of OVO and G-Unit may not have crossed over on a track yet, but at least its two leaders have a lot of respect for one another. Moreover, Drake and 50 Cent just linked up at a Miami club where the latter performed on Saturday night (March 25). Furthermore, this link-up comes after the 6 God recently previewed new music on his Instagram, which has fans ready for yet another drop soon. However, a lot of people aren't actually very happy with this crossover at all. In fact, many are outraged because the Canadian superstar canceled his headlining performance at Lollapalooza Brazil in São Paulo on Sunday night (March 27), citing issues with production and sound.

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Drake is without members of his sound and production team, essential to the realization of the Lollapalooza show in Sao Paulo," a statement on the festival's official Instagram post read. "Drake was excited to perform for his fans in Brazil,” the statement added. “Unfortunately, this is beyond his control. Apologies." What's more is that this isn't the first time that Drake's recent Lollapalooza appearances in Latin America caused an uproar. Fans expressed disappointment and anger over his Lolla Argentina set, which while amazing during its run, was also short, late, and canceled its livestream just minutes before starting.

Still, a lot of fans already let that go, and now hyper-focused on the prospect of new music from Drake. Similarly, 50 fans eagerly await his next album, as he spoke on working with Dr. Dre, Eminem, and more. Not only that, but the hip-hop world got even more excited when he revealed he's guesting on Nas and Hit-Boy's King's Disease IV.

Meanwhile, maybe Drake will never address his set issues with various Lollapalooza festivals in Latin America. Regardless, he's the kind of artist that draws eyes for anything and everything he does, whether negative or positive. With that in mind, class actions lawsuits against Ticketmaster for overpriced Drake tickets might paint that tour in a negative light for some time. Still, fans expect a great set of shows regardless. For the latest on Drake and 50 Cent, stick around on HNHH.
