“Toronto’s borders are out of this f—ing world,” Walker said. “They held my motherf—ing truck up with all my equipment, my band equipment, that motherf—-ing thing in the back of me that be spinning. They held all that s–t up at the border for mad long that I didn’t even know about until today.

“So b–ch how we gonna play a show with no drums, no f—ing mics, and no motherf—ing guitars? See it’s out of my motherf—ing control!

“Y’all don’t even know what goes on behind the scenes. I had to fire my sound team twice,” Walker said during her live session. “I couldn’t find my passport and birth certificate. I had to be up at 5 a.m. to go to two different offices to get a new passport and birth certificate. By the time I got to Toronto, all I had time to do was check-in, wash my ass, and get to the venue. I didn’t even know I was motherf—-ing late.

“I go on stage when I’m told to go on stage. Drake told me he was going to come to my show, and I told him not to come because I suck.

“He comes — very grateful and nice man. He’s extremely sweet. The thing is, we only spoke for two minutes,” Walker said. “Him, Meek [Mill], and some other n—s walked in. We say hello and take a picture. We probably exchanged about two sentences and then they said, ‘Summer, it’s time to go on stage.’ I did what I was supposed to do. If I had known motherf—-rs were waiting for four hours, I would’ve apologized.”

Walker also posted the photo of her and Drake to her Instagram page, captioning it “memories.”

In an Instagram video, the Playing Games singer explained why she was cancelling the dates.

“I’m not going to be able to finish this tour because it doesn’t really coexist with my social anxiety and my introverted personality,” the 23-year-old singer said. “I hope that people understand and respect that at the end of the day I’m a person, I have feelings, I get tired, I get sad. It’s just a lot.

“I don’t want to lose myself for someone else.”
