AceShowbiz - During his "Anita Max Win Tour" in Australia and New Zealand, Drake showed off not just his musical prowess but also his generosity. On February 5, at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, the Toronto-based rapper surprised the audience with a remarkable gesture.
During the concert, he picked out two fans from the crowd and gifted each of them $20,000 to travel "wherever [they] want in the world." The unexpected gift was one of the highlights of the night, illustrating Drake's deep connection with his fans.
"You guys are from Perth - I don't know where you've been in your life," Drake announced. "But for both of y'all, I'm gonna give you $20,000 each to go wherever you want in the world because that's what we do out here in Perth. You gotta show love."
"It's nights like these that we can never take for granted; it's 14,000 people inside one building, and we all got here safe," the rapper remarked.
Drake's act of kindness didn't end with monetary gifts. He took a moment during the show to address a significant message about mental health and emotional well-being. Acknowledging that not everyone in the room might be having the best time in their life, he encouraged fans to spread kindness.
"I pray to God that you're healthy; I pray to God that you're happy, but I promise you that everybody in this room is not happy," he observed. "I want you to turn to somebody that you don't know, and I just want you to give them a hug [and] say something nice to them."
This concert also served as a precursor to Drake's upcoming musical ventures. Fans are eagerly awaiting his album, "$OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U", with PartyNextDoor, slated for a Valentine's Day release. Speculation is also rife about another solo project and his involvement in DJ Khaled's new album, despite some controversy.
Drake's Australian tour, his first since 2017, extends until mid-March, with performances lined up in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland, New Zealand. His philanthropic gesture in Perth mirrors previous acts of kindness, such as the recent "Drizzmas Giveaway," further solidifying his bond with fans.
