DRAKE RESPONDS TO 'FAKE' REPORTS THAT HE TOLD FAN TO REMOVE HER HIJAB

"I would never make a disrespectful comment like that in my life."

Drake has responded to online rumors that he told a female fan at one of his concerts to remove her hijab, calling it a "fake media story."

As Hot New Hip Hop reports, the hip-hop superstar was caught on camera during a concert at London's O2 last week telling someone, "You got on that hot ass scarf right there, you might wanna take this off. You gotta turn this muthafucka up. You gotta come out of that shit."

The post has since been deleted but the original comment claimed she was wearing a hijab -- something Drake now disputes. Twitter responded at the time by condemning Drake for what was believed to be an attack on Muslim culture.

"I make a point every night to end my shows on a time of unity and love so, to find out that I am being utilized in a fake media story about me disrespecting Muslims is devastating to me," Drake said in a statement on Friday (Feb. 10). "At my show I'm the O2 in London I was talking to 4 women one of whom was wearing a jacket and a winter scarf, I made a comment about taking off the scarf because I enjoy a friendly banter with the fans. I am well aware of what a hijab is and I would never make a disrespectful comment like that in my life towards someone who is wearing one."

Drake continued, "I am proud that my closest friends and fans come from all different religions and races, perhaps whoever made up this story should spend more time learning about other cultures and less time trying to divide us."

FOUR ULTIMATE KEYS TO STARTING A ONLINE BUSINESS

If you are new in the world of online sales and are looking to make money online but you start with a small budget startup. With the dazzling wealth of information available to new entrepreneurs to learn how you can spend your limited resources can be a bit intimidating and worrisome.
The following are four ultimate keys to help you get started and run successfully.

1. Ensure You Have A Website.
  
    You must have something to send customers back. It is a must that you have a website. Make sure you keep your site simple and copy by menus with email options to capture each site visitor or client.

There are available steps to selling your own website without much money.

Select a Content Management System(CMS) like Wordpress, which is popular for its kind and free.

Register for a domain name and subscribe to a hosting service.

2. Ensure That You Spend Time Getting Information About What You Sell Before You Start.

Get validation from potential customers who are not in your social circle of market. Some business owners use the "will to pull their wallet" test before investing money in a company.
If you are a beginner, surveys are an opportunity to find out what the customer wants as a product/ service for himself to solve. If you are already in business, surveys can ask how the customer discovered the product or service in the first place. If the customer is ready to return information as a customer to you then you are set to build a connection with them.

3. You Must know Your Competitors And Customers.

You should make sure that you study competitors and complementary brands. It is recommended, research tools such as search results related to SimilarWeb (at the bottom of any Google search) Google them and see which sites you are visited by your potential customers.

4. Create A Sales And Marketing Action Plan.

   To earn your first million in sales, make sure you work backwards and rely on a series of what is needed in the monthly income to reach one million of the first year.

There you have it all. I hope this little post was helpful.
