Drake's Sydney Show Stopped to Address Man Groping Girls

Rapper Drake stopped in the middle of performing at a club in Sydney on Wednesday to admonish a fan he observed touching women in the audience.

As Drake was performing his hit song “Know Yourself” at an afterparty, he stopped for a few seconds to yell expletives and threats at the man, CNN reported.

“Yo, stop that s***,” he said to the unidentified man in a video. “If you don’t stop touching girls, I’m gonna come out there and f*** you up.” The crowd cheered loudly as the camera attempted to pan to the man, but it was not clear if he was captured on the video or whether anything happened to him after the video was taken, CNN reported.

Social media has responded with praise and compliments for Drake because he took a stand against sexual harassment and assault amid the many allegations flying around Hollywood, Washington, D.C., and other areas where stars congregate.

Here are some reactions from Twitter:

We need more men like Drake who will call out trash who objectify, harass and grope women.

Drake threatens fan who was groping woman at a club: "I will f*ck you up"

I don’t condone violence but I absolutely condone men speaking out. We need more of this. If you see something say something. @drake #TheResistancepic.twitter.com/ElYEuFMr38

I wouldn't want the singer to threaten someone in the audience. If there was a problem he could have told security to take care of it.

Yes. Men -- and women, too -- need to speak up straight away. These creeps need to be called out.
