Last year, Lollapalooza Brazil offered disappointed fans refunds after Drake abruptly dropped out of his headline slot and was replaced by Skrillex.

Just hours before announcing the cancellation, Drake was spotted partying in Miami, at the Booby Trap on the River Strip Club, where rapper 50 Cent was headlining.
