Watch out: Drake has caught wind of a promoter selling phony tickets for shows in May that don't exist on his tour schedule; the rapper was pictured performing on February in Sydney, Australia on February 28

One of those nonexistent concerts was advertised to happen at the Arena Theatre in southwest Houston on May 17.

'Drake has never been scheduled to appear at the Arena Theatre venue,' a spokesperson for the rapper told MailOnline, adding that an investigation has been initiated.

'When we learned of this situation we immediately encouraged the venue and promoter to contact law enforcement to initiate an investigation,' the spokesperson said.

The rep continued: 'We are horrified that someone would use Drake's name to take advantage of his fans. For any individuals who may have fallen victim to this, please contact your local authorities.'
