Drake reportedly skipped out on a nightclub appearance in Abu Dhabi.

The 30-year-old rapper was nowhere to be found at a scheduled event at the the VIP ROOM despite claims he had been paid nearly $250K to perform.

It's been claimed that Drake's team and the nightclub's management had a disagreement.

A club rep explained that too many people arrived to see the Hotline Bling singer, ultimately preventing his appearance due to safety issues according to the Mirror.

Missing: On Saturday, despite being paid nearly $250,000 to perform at the VIP ROOM in Abu Dhabi, Drake, 30, was no where to be found. He is pictured in New Orleans in September

Eager fans waited until 5 am for the hip-hop star, who surely dissapointed them when he did not make an arrive, according to the publication.

'His management had an argument with the management of Abu Dhabi pop-up nightclub VIP ROOM last night and he didn't turn up for an appearance that he'd been paid £200k for,' a source told the site.

DJ Bliss, a fan favourite DJ in the Middle East, continued his set throughout the night to cover for the former Degrassi star.

Rumour? It's believed that Drake's team and the nightclub's management had a disagreement

Despite talks of an argument, a rep for the nightclub told the Mirror that Drake's safety was the reason for his no-show.

'Due to Drake's overwhelming popularity, the sheer number of people that turned up outside of the VIP Room made it completely unsafe for Drake to even enter the venue in the end; so he was unable to perform.'

He was still scheduled to perform again on Sunday night, though it is not known if he made an appearance.

Also in Abu Dhabi is Drake's on-and-off flame, Rihanna.

This past summer, the duo rekindled an old flame, as Drake confessed his love for his pop princess when he introduced her for the MTV VMA's Vanguard award.

'She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22-years-old. She's one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I've looked up to her, even though she's younger than me' gushed the smitten artist at the gala event.

Following multiple evening outs and matching tattoos, the flames cooled off for the duo, as E! reported in October that they stopped seeing each other.
