Drake was left stunned after a concertgoer got a little too close and personal as he walked through the crowd.

The 36-year-old Canadian hip-hop superstar - whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham - is currently on tour with 21 Savage as part of his It's All a Blur Tour.

The tour kicked off at Chicago’s United Center back in July and will continue until September 5, when it ends in Glendale, Arizona.

During his latest stop in Seattle, Washington, on Saturday (August 26), a video circulating on social media revealed an overexcited fan running her hands up the 'God's Plan' rapper's body before attempting to grab his neck.

Watch the moment below:

In the footage, the Grammy-winning star does his usual introduction as his 2011 track 'Look What You've Done' plays in the arena, and he walks through the crowd.

At one point, the extremely passionate supporter can be seen clutching the former Degrassi star's neck before he gently moves her hand out of the way with a smile on his face. He then continues to walk down the stairs as other fans reach out.

After one user shared the incident on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), many people began weighing in on the bizarre moment. One disappointed person wrote: "Some of these fans be doing too much fr lol."

Another remarked: "The intrusive thoughts won with her," while a third commented: "Choking your favorite artist is crazy."

Drake even responded and somewhat joked about the moment on his Instagram Story by sharing a screenshot with the caption: "Dialed in."

The 'Hotline Bling' star has continued to make headlines with his concerts because fans won't stop throwing their bras on stage.

One woman named Veronica Correia, 21, from Rhode Island, became a viral sensation after she threw her undergarment on stage during the rapper's show at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Upon discovering the piece of clothing, Drizzy picked it up, checked the tag, and quipped: "Damn. 36G? Locate this woman immediately." According to Veronica, not only did she get a private DM from Drake himself afterward, but she's also been contacted by Playboy.

In addition to this, influencer Stephanie Valentine lost nearly 200lbs and decided to celebrate her incredible weight loss by throwing her old underwear which had the words: "Drake likes his girls BBW (Big Beautiful Women)" at the singer while he performed.

While sitting front and center, the TikToker captured the moment she threw the panties on stage during the pop star's 'In My Feelings' set. He picked up the underwear and smirked at the sight of them before holding them for the entire audience to see.

"If I was going to go front row at a Drake concert, absolutely I would throw my bra and panties at him," she declared in a follow-up TikTok. "And I know there has been people saying, 'Ugh, disgusting,' but you what, I feel so liberated, I feel so free, and I feel so confident."

Even Drake's own dad got in on the action as he arranged for an absolutely huge bra to be specially made for it to be thrown at his son for a joke.
