Drake Says He Has Stopped Performing "Take Care" Live

Drake has told fans he no longer performs "Take Care," the 2011 song he made with Rihanna. He said so during a livestream on Trainwreckstv's Kick channel over the weekend, where he also sang along to the track.

During the stream, Drake said his singing was "probably" the only performance fans would get of the song. He then welcomed the audience to the broadcast. Billboard reported his comments on Tuesday.

"Take Care" appeared on Drake's album of the same name in 2011. It reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, the US chart that ranks the country's most popular singles, in 2012. Complex, as cited by Billboard, reported that Drake has not performed the song live since 2017.

The song is one of several Drake and Rihanna have made together. The pair also share two Hot 100 No. 1 hits, "What's My Name?" and "Work," and they collaborated on "Too Good." Drake's remark about "Take Care" came with a request to the crowd on another occasion: "I don't sing this song anymore. You can sing it for me."

For fans who have waited years to hear the song in person, the message is clear. Drake is not planning to sing it on stage. The livestream clip gives them a brief moment with him singing it, at least.

Drake is also expected to head out on a world tour in 2027, according to the same Billboard report. The run would be his first North American tour since 2023. No tour schedule has been confirmed by a promoter or Drake's team.

A world tour is a large operation. It means promoters booking arenas, crews building the stage and trucks moving equipment between cities, often across several countries. Setlists are decided well before opening night, so the question of which songs make the cut is usually answered long before the first show.

For now, the one confirmed thing is what Drake said on the stream. He does not sing "Take Care" anymore, and fans who want to hear it will have to sing it themselves.
