LOS ANGELES - US rapper Drake is under fire for groping and kissing a 17-year-old girl on stage during a performance in May 2010.

In the video, the God's plan hit maker can be seen inviting an unidentified teenage girl to join him on stage, he then massages and kisses her shoulders – before moving his hands towards her breasts.

Drake then asks the girl how old she is, to which she replies, "17." 

"I can’t go to jail yet, man!", said the rapper, "Why do you look like that?! You thick. Look at all this… Well look, I had fun. I don't know whether I should feel guilty or not, but I had fun. I like the way your breasts feel against my chest. I just want to thank you."

This is not the first time that Drake has made headlines for his behaviour around young women, in 2018, the rapper caused a stir for his close relationship with fourteen year old American actress Millie Bobby Brown.

The video of the performance in Colorado was posted after the premiere of Surviving R. Kelly, a docu-series which explores allegations of abusive behavior by the singer through dozens of interviews with survivors.
