Drake suffers embarrassment as he shoots his shot at security guard at show only to realize she's taken

PERTH, AUSTRALIA: Drake knows how to command a crowd, but even the biggest stars sometimes misread the moment.

In the middle of a sold-out concert in Perth, Australia, the rapper stopped his performance to shower a female security guard with compliments only to get shut down in front of thousands.

While making his way through the sea of screaming fans, Drake suddenly locked eyes with the guard, pausing to admire her. Speaking into his mic, he told the crowd, "Damn, look. Look at this. Hey, put her on the camera. She's hot as hell!" The audience cheered as the camera panned to the woman, who appeared caught off guard but remained professional.

Drake, 38, kept the flirtation going, asking, "Are you married? Got a ring on?" but his confidence took a hit when the guard simply lifted her hand, revealing a wedding band. Without missing a beat, she responded, "Yes."

"Oh, you do? Never mind." He turned and kept moving, leaving both the guard and the crowd laughing at the unexpected moment.

Drake is currently touring Australia and New Zealand, his first visit to the region since 2017, for his 'Anita Max Win Tour', 

Beyond his stadium performances, he is been making headlines for his off-stage antics. Just last week, he surprised fans by taking over a Melbourne karaoke bar, covering the tab for all drinks and inviting 25 Miss Universe contestants to join the party.

Drake called 'cringe' for trying to hit on security guard at concert

The unexpected moment of Drake stopping his own concert to chat up a security guard, captured on video, quickly spread across social media, leaving fans both entertained and confused.

"Why’s he hitting up on security?" one questioned, while another said, "That’s so cringe of him to even try."

"Classic Drake. Always shooting his shot, but gotta respect the commitment," a person quipped, with someone else saying, "He actually having second thoughts now? Daaaaaaaamn." 

"Br keeps getting clowned, like I genuinely feel sorry for him," read another comment, while one more joked, "Bro thought he hit a jackpot."
