Drake's fans in Amsterdam are not happy with the rapper. After postponing his tour stop in the Netherlands capital twice, Drizzy was a no-show at his make-up date tonight. XXL points to a tweet from one fan claiming that it took 75 minutes for an announcement to be made to the packed venue, at which point a rep told the audience that Drake would not be performing due to illness.

"I'm really sorry to tell you that tonight's show can not take place. Drake got sick. His doctor told him not to perform," a promoter tells the crowd in a video captured by a concert-goer. "Tickets will stay valid for the show on Wednesday, as he wishes to bring his fans the best show in the world."

Drake postponed his Amsterdam shows for the second time back in January. "Unforseen production setbacks" and Drake's desire to "bring a complete new show to Europe and not a copy of the shows in the US" were cited for the change at the time.
