Drake has been giving back to his fans quite a bit while on the road. During his stop in St. Louis on Monday night (February 12), the “6 God” rapper spotted a fan asking for his help covering an upcoming expensive surgery — and Drizzy stopped by to let them know that he would pay for unspecified treatment.
“You have a sign that says, 'Please help me with my surgery.' I don't know what kind of surgery you need, sir. I really don't, but I'll let you know from me to you, St. Louis love, we'll take care of whatever even if it's the surgery,” Drake promised. “We're going to help you because we want you to be at the next show with us. You gotta show us love.” The fan's face appeared on the Enterprise Center's Jumbotron as he emotionally reacted to the rapper's promise .
This is far from the first charity move Drake has made on It's All a Blur — Big as the What? tour. Last week, during a show in Nashville, the OVO boss congratulated a fan who finished chemotherapy and blessed him with gift of $100,000.
“Listen, forget about Drake, forget about anyone else in this building right now. That's a real trooper right there,” Drake said, which drew applause from the crowd. “I hope my manager doesn't kill me because I've never done that much, but, listen, I want you to cash it in at the end of the night. We will give you $100,000. I love you and wish you the best.”
According to a report from The Tennesseanthe fan was identified as Lauren Schwallie and has been battling breast cancer since 2022.
“One thing led to another and I was at the front of the stage and Drake kissed me and told me he loved me! That's all I focused on… And then, like the money on top is just crazy,” he said in the post of the pleasant surprise.
Drake and J. Cole's It's All a Blur — Big as the What? The tour continues this weekend with a pair of shows in Pittsburgh, where another lucky fan could reap the benefits of Drizzy's deep pockets.
