Canadian rapper Drake was left red-faced at his sold-out Perth concert on Wednesday night after he awkwardly hit on a staff member who was engaged.
In footage shared to TikTok, the One Dance hitmaker was seen approaching a female security guard at the RAC Arena as he made his way through the crowd and admitted he found her attractive.
‘Hey, come here for a second, damn, look at her! She is fine as hell, check it out on the cameras,’ Drake told the crowd as he approached the woman.
The singer then asked her if she was single: ‘Are you married? Do you have a ring on?’
Unfortunately for the rap star the woman was indeed engaged and flashed her sparkling diamond ring to let Drake know she was off the market.
‘Oh you have a ring on, never mind,’ a disappointed Drake said as he stormed off.

Drake is currently performing to packed stadiums across the country.
He will next take the stage at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena over four consecutive nights, from 9 to 13 February.
It comes after he stunned fans by hosting an intimate warm up gig for his Australian tour last Thursday, as the God’s Plan hitmaker covered all costs on the bar, invited 25 Miss Universe contestants, and set one rule: ‘No phones’.
Drake played a 90-minute set at Le Club in Melbourne, posting footage of the performance to Instagram which make it appear as if he surprised fans by popping up at a local watering hole unannounced.
In reality, the 38-year-old rented out the entire venue – where he dined with his entourage earlier that day – and invited about 100 local socialites and influencers to attend.
A procession of black cars pulled up outside chef Chris Lucas’ new modern French restaurant, Maison Bâtard, on Thursday evening and it was close to midnight when Drake took the stage.
The rapper decided to ‘get the party started’ after renting out the private upper terrace of the three-level venue with his $700,000 winnings from Crown Casino for lunch.
According to the Herald Sun, Drake opened the bar and covered all costs of the evening, including martinis, champagne, and shots for his young female guests, as well as 30 of his private entourage and security personnel.

He treated his group of 10 staff to oysters, caviar and lobster to start, a spokeswoman for the restaurant told Daily Mail, ‘followed by our signature Rotisserie Chicken with Green Olives’.
‘He met with the chef after lunch to rave about the food, and was a delight to have in!’ she added.
Le Club is a late night supper club in the basement of Chris Lucas’ restaurant, billed as a place to ‘wine and dine (and play)’ until very late.
Drake performed some unreleased songs, plus some crowd pleasers including Faithful, Pipe Down, Trust Issues, and Rich Baby Daddy – which he called ‘Melbourne karaoke’ in the caption of his videos.
‘One man, 100 females,’ a fan commented on the video of Drake bopping along to the backing track of his hit song, as the crowd belted out the lyrics: ‘Bend that a** over.’
Chef Chris and his wife, and her two daughters, attended the performance, as well as Melbourne ‘It’ girls Bianca Roccisano and Amanda Smorgon.
Drake is one of the best-selling artists in music history, with over 250 million albums sold worldwide and four number one singles in Australia.
