VANCOUVER (CelebrityAccess) – The Parq Casino in Vancouver has issued an apology after Drake took to Instagram over the weekend and accused the casino of ‘profiling’ and banning him from gambling.

In his post, the rapper called Parq Vancouver “the worst run business” he has ever witnessed. Going on to say the casino did not allow him to gamble, despite providing “everything they originally asked” of him.

Following Drake’s post, the Parq issued dual statements Saturday saying that it was “actively investigating” the incident and that it apologizes for the experience their customer had.

Under a recently instated provincial law, B.C. casinos are required to “gather detailed information on the source of player funds for all transactions of $10,000 or more.”

Casino president Joe Bruninihe also said in a statement: “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.”

Neither Drake nor his representatives have provided any additional details as to what exactly occurred.
