DRAKE GIFTS PREGNANT FAN MONEY AT CONCERT
In a video shared on X (the social media platform previously known as Twitter), Drake — real name Aubrey Drake Graham could be heard starting a conversation with a pregnant female fan in the crowd who was holding up a poster written: “I’m five months pregnant, can you be my Rich Baby Daddy?”
“Well, first of all, I don’t wanna offend your real baby daddy… but, I would love to. But, first of all, let’s get you out of the pit so we can put you somewhere safe like the VIP or some sh*t. Cause you can’t be pregnant getting bounced around. When I start playing some of these slappers, we can’t have you getting pushed around,” he said while being cheered on by the rest of the audience.
“Second of all, I’d love to give you $25,000 so you can be a rich baby mama,” Drake added.
The rapper’s act of kindness is truly admirable considering the recent developments that took place after one of his recent concerts. On 13 February, a mother and daughter duo, Laticha Bracero and Alyssa Cordova were tragically killed after attending Drake’s concert at Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Mo, Billboard reported.
They were hit by a speeding car that ran a red light while they were crossing the street. The heartbreaking and horrific accident scene was caught on CCTV footage and leaked on social media.
According to TMZ, during his Buffalo, NY concert at KeyBank Center, the 37-year-old Canadian rapper shared a few emotional words on the matter and said: “You never know what somebody else’s reality will be when they walk out of this building.”
