Drake- A climate criminal?

Essentiality or unnecessary luxury?
It goes without a saying, that these celebrities are usually in a hurry. They must keep up with professional commitments to stay relevant and succeed further. However, fans believe such cases are not justified. At a time when fuel prices are skyrocketing and climate changes are on the rise, this is nothing but unprofessional and insensitive behavior by these stars.
People as busy as Drake and Kylie tend to have a hectic schedule, which is why we can understand it if they decide to do these a couple of trips here and there. But these stars being spendthrifts and unnecessarily flaunting their wealth, distancing themselves from commoners, and enjoying privileges when not required among other traits is not right. Drake among other celebrities needs to realize their blessings and henceforth use them judiciously.
