Vancouver Casino Apologizes After Drake Accuses Business of Profiling Him

Vancouver's Parq Casino issued an apology on Saturday after Drake accused the business of racial profiling him.

The casino did not deny the accusation in its apology. 

"You may be aware of a situation at our casino last night," the statement began. "On behalf of Parq Vancouver we would like to apologize for the experience our customer had."

It continued, "We are operating in one of the most complex, highly regulated industries and are always looking to better our communication and customer service. We are constantly improving our communications process to ensure that these new regulations are better understood by all guests. We categorically stand against racism of any kind. We are committed to providing a safe, secure and enjoyable experience for all."
