Drake, The Weeknd & J. Cole FaceTimed An 11-Year-Old Cancer Patient Before He Died

    An 11-year-old cancer patient named Elijah was virtually visited by his three favorite artists — Drake, J. Cole and The Weeknd — a week before he passed away. His cousin Michael Watson II confirmed the sad news on Instagram and shared clips of Elijah’s FaceTime conversations with the three stars on Sunday (March 29).

    “Over the past 3 years, my 11 y.o. cousin, Elijah, has battled cancer with the utmost resilience,” Watson wrote. “Elijah’s physical fight is now complete, as he transitioned to heaven on Friday. He didn’t leave this world without knowing how much he was loved though. Last weekend, Elijah got to ‘meet’ 3 of his favorite artists — The Weeknd, J. Cole, & Drake. Incredibly grateful for these 3 super-humans being so caring for my family during this time. We’ll hold onto these moments forever.”

    In the clips, Elijah can be heard saying “whoa” and waving as he meets his favorite artists over the phone.

    “It’s such a pleasure to meet you, man,” Cole says to him in one clip.

    “I’m so honored to be one of your favorite artists,” Drake can be heard saying in another.

    Elijah’s mother, Kiara Swope, also shared the videos and thanked the artists for showing Elijah “some love these last difficult days of his life.”

    Watch the touching clips above. Rest in peace, Elijah.

    1. Since according to this website Drake is the “6 God” then why he couldn’t save him? :(. Idiots lol

    2. it is like that other arrangement they have in parts of the world at the hospitals if the kid is dying they can have anything they wish before they pass. I think there should be more of this, give drake a break from stealing and making money off of intellectual property. however, I think it is more to do with the business end than drake. expect me to call and we will have a chat.
