It’s not the first time the rapper has handed over so much money to a fan.
During his concert on February 16, Drake promised a fan a huge gift. During his tour stop in Pittsburgh, the rapper announced that he would give $50,000 to a woman who survived cancer during the show.
“Your music helped me through cancer”
The emotional moment came when a concert-goer held up a sign with a message that was important to her. The poster read: “Your music helped me through cancer.”
After reading the announcement, the 37-year-old repeated for everyone: “This beautiful young lady has a sign that says ‘Your music got me through cancer.’ Now that’s a powerful statement coming from a survivor.”
He then said that he wanted to try to keep making music that the fan wanted to hear and then dropped the bombshell: “But tonight we’re giving you $50,000. You can watch another Drake show or do whatever you want. I know that [zeigte aufs Plakat] really appreciate, I appreciate the feeling. It is love.”
Here is the moment in the video:
Not the first time fan support
It’s not the first time that the rapper has been so generous. During his performance in Nashville on February 8th, he promised a concertgoer $100,000 because he had just finished chemotherapy. “Forget Drake, forget everyone else in this building, that’s a real soldier.” And further: “I love you and I wish you nothing but the best.”
