Drake has indicated that fans may no longer hear his 2011 collaboration with Rihanna, “Take Care,” during his live performances.
During a recent Kick livestream with streamer Trainwreckstv, the rapper briefly sang along to the song before suggesting it could be the last time audiences hear him perform it. Drake did not provide a specific reason for the decision.
Released as part of his second studio album, Take Care, the track became one of the pair’s most recognizable collaborations. It reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2012 and remains an important song in Drake’s early career.
This is not the first time Drake has distanced himself from music recorded with Rihanna. During a February 2024 concert in Tampa, Florida, he told the audience that he no longer performs their 2016 hit “Work.”
Drake and Rihanna previously shared a personal and professional relationship, collaborating on several successful songs over the years.
While his latest comments suggest another change to his concert repertoire, Drake has not officially confirmed a permanent retirement of “Take Care” from future performances.
