Canadian rapper Drake has received a triumphant welcome home after ditching his Australian tour.

The One Dance hitmaker, 38, cancelled his remaining Australian and New Zealand dates of his Anita Max Win tour due to ‘scheduling conflicts.’

Back in Toronto on Thursday, Drake was enjoying the love with what appeared to be  a lavish welcome home party. 

He shared a photo to his Instagram story that featured a very celebratory scene.

The image showed his marble kitchen island bench featuring an Anita Max Win-themed triple-tiered cake.

The cake was also festooned with slot machines and coins – a perfect decoration for the gambling enthusiast.

There was also a giant charcuterie board with an array of meats, fruits and cheeses.

The inviting plate also featured the words ‘Anita Max Won’ spelled out in what appeared to be cheese.

The scene was also augmented with bouquets of flowers. 

Drake cancelled his remaining Australian and New Zealand tour dates and left Australia on Wednesday morning to return to his native Canada via private jet.

He was due to perform at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on March 4, before heading back to Sydney for another show at Qudos Bank Arena on March 7.

The shock cancellation news came after Drake partied at popular Brisbane nightclub The Tax Office until 4am in morning following his show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday night.

He arrived at the venue 1.45am after performing a show in the city on Tuesday night.

The nightclub was booked as a private function, with the rapper inviting between 300 to 400 women to the party with him.

The women were seen handing their phones to security at the door upon entering.

He then flew to Fiji on his private jet at 6.40am Wednesday morning before heading to Toronto via Hawaii.

In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, Live Nation said they were working on rescheduling the remaining Australia and New Zealand tour dates and offered refunds to concertgoers who could not make the new dates.

‘We are actively working on rescheduling these dates along with adding some additional shows,’ a spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.

‘All tickets for the affected shows will remain valid for the new dates. Refunds will be available for those who prefer, but please note that as these shows are sold out, any refunded tickets will be released for sale.

‘We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Drake and the entire team have had an incredible time doing these shows and are excited to return soon.

‘We look forward to sharing the rescheduled dates with you as soon as possible.’

Confused fans expressed their disappointment on social media and claimed the rapper would have known his schedule months in advance.

‘Why did Drake just cancel the rest of his tour and fly back to Canada?’ one person questioned.

Drake does this every tour, why are y’all surprised?’ another disappointed fan said.

Daily Mail Australia understands there had been plans to cancel the tour as early as Saturday but fans weren’t told till days later.

The Courier Mail claimed Drake was returning to Canada for ‘personal reasons’.

It comes as employee at Drake’s Brisbane concert has claimed there were disastrous issues with the Canadian rapper’s final show on Tuesday night.

One Reddit user, who claimed they were a worker on the Queensland leg of the Anita Max Win Tour, alleges there were numerous scheduling problems with Drake’s final show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
