In between songs during the performance, Drake made [no effort to hide his political opinions](http://time.com/4626211/golden-globes-2017-speeches-donald-trump/); although he didn’t specifically name Donald Trump. “People trying to tear us apart, trying to make us turn against each other,” he said. “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 gonna tear this world apart, you’re out of your mothaf–kin mind. It’s on us to keep this s–t together. F—k that man!” Watch the full clip below. > [](https://twitter.com/IamAkademiks/status/828607437871669250) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4661452/drake-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4661452/drake-donald-trump/"},"headline":"Watch Drake Speak Out Against Trump At His Concert","datePublished":"2017-02-06T22:43:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:50.792Z","description":"\"It’s on us to keep this together\"","url":"https://time.com/4661452/drake-donald-trump/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Drake","celebrity","Donald Trump","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4661452/drake-donald-trump/","name":"Watch Drake Speak Out Against Trump At His Concert"}}]}] ```
