Drake has slammed Donald Trump for trying to “tear this world apart” and called on fans to stop him from creating divisions.

The Canadian rapper – who is currently on his Boy Meets World Tour – made the statement as he wrapped up the last night of his residency at London’s O2 Arena.

He told fans to “keep this s*** together” as he blasted the new President in the wake of his US travel ban.

Speaking to thousands at the iconic venue, Drake said: “For some reason in my room, they got the TV set to CNN. Every day I wake up, I see this b******* going on in the world. People trying to tear us apart, trying to make us turn against each other.”

He continued: “So tonight, my proudest moment isn’t selling tickets or having people sing my songs. My proudest moment, if you take a look around this room, you’ll see people from all races, all places, and all we did tonight was come inside this building, show love, celebrate life, more life and more music.

“And I just want you to understand, if you ever thought for one second that any one man is going to tear this world apart, you’re out of your m************ mind.”

He finished: “It’s on us to keep this s*** together. F*** that man!”

The US rapper appeared to strike up a friendship with the President and went to visit him at Trump Tower in December to discuss “issues including bullying, supporting teachers, modernising curriculums, and violence in Chicago”.

But TMZ reported that West removed all trace of the President from his account after he implemented a travel ban on refugees and people from Muslim-majority countries entering the US.
