It seems that controversies keep following Drake, who is currently on holiday in St. Tropez, as he is now catching heat after posting a seemingly disturbing photo of an unsuspecting stranger on his Instagram story. The rapper was at a restaurant, when he shared a candid zoomed-in photo to his 117 million followers, showing a blonde woman sitting at another table. The mysterious woman who caught Drake\u2019s attention was sitting with another man and appeared to be looking down at her phone. The caption of the photo reads \u201cTried to airdrop this woman a pic of herself cause she\u2019s a dime\u201d with a laughing crying emoji. While the encounter ended there, the opinions of social media users did not. Social media users react to Drake\u2019s Instagram story The rapper is receiving backlash on social media, as the mysterious woman seemingly had no idea she was on camera. Drake did not blur the unsuspecting woman\u2019s face before sharing it with his massive fanbase. A screenshot of the story was posted to a Reddit forum, with the OP writing \u201cI haven\u2019t seen anyone talking about this, this is so unbelievably creepy (Drake posted this on his IG story).\u201d Most users agreed, with one writing \u201cYes she\u2019s beautiful but he could have kept that to himself or been a normal person and struck up a conversation instead of posting this to his Instagram where he has MILLIONS of followers who are now gonna chime in on their opinion of her.\u201d Another user added \u201cI hate how normalized it\u2019s become to take photos\/videos of strangers in public. It literally gives me anxiety. From a celebrity, it\u2019s even worse because he should know better in regards to respecting privacy.\u201d Other users shared how uncomfortable they feel about the possibility of being caught in a stranger\u2019s photo. \u201cI hate it. I completely understand I will likely always end up in the background of someone\u2019s pictures or video but that\u2019s completely different to them photographing\/filming you and then having the audacity to post it online\u201d one user wrote. Agreeing, another user wrote, \u201cI hate it so much, especially when it\u2019s someone clearly having a bad day, I think about it every time I pop to the shops dressed terribly\u201d. As it stands, Drake is yet to respond to the backlash, and the uncandid photo was not taken down before it expired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drake faces backlash after posting \u201ccreepy\u201d Instagram story of unsuspecting woman INSTAGRAM: CHAMPAGNEPAPIDrake has found himself in hot water after sharing a recent story on Instagram of an unsuspecting woman.
