Mo Gilligan Reveals Awkward Encounter with Drake: Mistakes Diamond for Food
Mo Gilligan, the South-London born comedian, recently shared a hilarious and cringeworthy moment he had with US rap superstar Drake during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Meeting Drake at Wireless Festival
Mo recounted the incident that took place back in 2018 at Wireless Festival, where he had a chance encounter with Drake. As security was clearing out the VIP section and allowing only Drake’s entourage through, Mo’s friend Javan was seated nearby, leading Mo to persistently request entry to check on his friend.
The Awkward Exchange
After finally being granted access, Mo was reunited with Javan when they noticed Drake approaching them. As they exchanged greetings, Javan mistakenly thought Drake had something stuck in his teeth and attempted to point it out.
Embarrassing Mistake Unveiled
This innocent gesture led to a comical misunderstanding, with Drake inspecting his teeth, mistakenly assuming it was a piece of food caught between them. After a brief confusion, Drake clarified that it was actually a diamond embedded in his tooth.
Drake’s Response and Humorous Retaliation
Drake humorously responded to the incident online, sharing that it was not the first time someone had mistaken the diamond for food. In fact, the encounter prompted Drake to have the diamond replaced, citing multiple similar occurrences.
Drake’s Appreciation for Mo Gilligan
Drake’s admiration for Mo goes back years, with the rap artist showcasing his support by quoting one of Mo’s British slogans on Instagram. Additionally, Drake has been known for his affinity towards tooth diamonds, sourced from luxury jewellers like Jason of Beverly Hills.
Upcoming In The Moment World Tour
Amidst the laughter, Mo is gearing up for his In The Moment World Tour, set to kick off in Australia on July 11th, 2024, before concluding in Nottingham, UK, in April 2025. The tour includes various stops across the UK, promising a night of comedy and entertainment.
