Drake is currently on his "It's All a Blur" tour making various questionable decisions but of all of them, the most confusing may simply be: why is Drake wearing an apron on-stage?
As seen during various stops on tour, Drake makes several outfit changes, swapping clothes into various baggy (and mostly Nike) looks.
His weirdest outfits, though, include shiny aprons and bloodied butcher's clothes. What's it mean?

There are actually several of them, ranging from short, sparkly iterations to a knee-length apron that one see worn by slaughterhouse workers.

As one Drake fanpage pointed out, Drake's aprons are likely a reference to Slaughter Gang, the record label that works with 21 Savage, with whom Drake released collaborative album Her Loss.

No Drake music, though, not even Her Loss.

Drake, again, is very unrelated to Slaughter Gang activities but presumably, he's just being a supportive friend. Isn't that nice?

One might see Drake's costumes as a metaphor for Drake "murdering" the people he took aim at on Her Loss, who include Megan Thee Stallion, Serena Williams' husband, Ice Spice, and Dram.
Given that some of those supposed disses were walked back and handled with relative grace by their subjects, one would hope that Drake's aprons have some other meaning.

Given all of his other wacky decisions and inexplicable outfits, at least there's one good thing to come of Drake's bizarre behavior.
