Yes, Drake plants money trees. This time the Started From the Bottom emcee generosity took center stage once during his Melbourne concert on February 9 and blessed fans with a bag, as he’s known to do … While performing at the Rod Laver Arena, Drizzy shocked two lucky fans by gifting them a total of $45,000 in cash.
Before ya’ll say he’s just … Listen does that. Been doing that. Drake’s charitable gestures were a thing during his It’s All a Blur Tour. Last year, he made headlines by paying off the $160,000 mortgage of a fan’s late mother. Let that sink in.
The dope moment began when Drake noticed a fan holding a sign that read “Adonis For President,” featuring the OVO owl and a Canadian flag. Touched by the support for his son, Drake decided to pay it forward. “You’re showing a lot of love to my son, so on behalf of me and Adonis, we’re going to give you 25 grand,” he announced to the crowd.
Shortly after, Drake spotted another fan with a sign that read, “Kiss Me, It’s My Birthday.” Although he couldn’t grant the kiss from the distance, he made sure the fan had a memorable birthday. “It’s a tough read on the kiss,” Drake laughed, “but what I am going to do is give you 20 grand and cover a birthday dinner for you and all your friends.” He even offered an extra surprise, “If you want, you can come back to the show again. Both of y’all, if you want, we’ll get you tickets.”
The 6 God’s kind acts continue as he prepares for three more nights at the Rod Laver Arena starting on February 10 before heading to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena and wrapping up the tour on March 16 in Auckland, New Zealand.
Fans can also look forward to new music. Drake’s upcoming collaboration with PARTYNEXTDOOR, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, is set to drop on Valentine’s Day, February 14. After a challenging 2024, which included a loss in a highly publicized rap battle with Kendrick Lamar, Drake is returning to his R&B roots—where he continues to dominate.
Oh, we ready.
