Drake Gifts $20,000 to Lucky Fan After Rock Paper Scissors Game on Stage
Drake continues to make headlines for his generosity. During a recent stop in Sydney on his Anita Max Win Tour, the rapper played a game of rock paper scissors with a fan who held up a sign asking for a chance to win money to buy their father a car. Though Drake ultimately won the game, he still decided to gift the fan $20,000 to fulfill their wish.
“Play the noise where he loses,” Drake jokingly said to his team after winning three games to two. Then, to the crowd’s delight, he announced: “I’m still gonna give you $20,000 so you can buy your dad a car.” The audience erupted in cheers as Drake proved once again that his generosity extends beyond just winning a game.
Drake’s Concert Cash Giveaways Spark Debate
Drake’s habit of giving away money at his shows has sparked conversation online. A now-viral image from a recent show shows a crowd filled with signs asking for financial assistance, with requests ranging from helping pay off mortgages to funding a bachelorette party in Ibiza.
Some social media users found the scene unsettling, calling it a “dystopian” reflection of modern celebrity culture. “Drake aside (literally replace him with any celeb), this is one of the most genuinely dystopian photographs I’ve seen in recent months,” one user tweeted. Others echoed the sentiment, noting how strange it was to see fans vying for financial help from a performer.
Drake’s Generosity Continues
Despite the mixed reactions, Drake has remained in a giving mood throughout his tour. Earlier this month in Melbourne, he gifted another fan $25,000 for holding up a sign that read “Adonis for President,” referencing his son. “On behalf of me and my son… We’re going to give you $25,000 for your family,” he told the lucky fan.
Drake’s Anita Max Win Tour is set to continue through mid-March, and given his track record, fans may continue bringing signs in hopes of securing life-changing gifts from the rap superstar.
