Drake‘s ongoing concert run involves a charity drive wherein he singles out random members of his audience and blesses them with an act of kindness, and a recent show was no different.
On Thursday (April 4), the Canadian superstar’s It’s All a Blur — Big as the What? Tour passed through New Jersey for the first of two tour-ending nights at the Prudential Center in Newark. During his set, Drizzy told a fan that he would fund her divorce and even set her up for her next romance.

“I’m [going to] get you a good lawyer and we gon’ pay for your divorce tonight,” he said. “You gon’ be single and ready to mingle.”
Calling her “fine as hell,” he added: “Ay, and while you at it, you need to find you somebody to take you out on a date, too. I’ll pay for the date, too.”
Last month, the 6 God stopped by the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. During an exchange with the crowd, he learned that a fan in the crowd needed help paying for the mortgage on her parents’ house, which is something she’d been struggling with since both parents passed away.
Grabbing an item from the crowd, the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker read a message from the person out loud, then proceeded to ask for clarification.

“Your mom passed away?,” he asked. “Oh this is the outstanding balance right here? That’s a lot of money right there. But you know what? I’ma pay your whole mortgage for you. That’s 160 bands but I’ma pay out of my pocket. That’s gonna come from me.”
During his show in Pittsburgh in February, the 37-year-old spotted a fan holding up a sign that read “Ur music carried me through cancer,” following which he promised the survivor $50,000 for her trouble.
During a performance in Nashville not long before, he noticed a fan in the crowd holding up a sign that read “Just Finished Chemo,” after which he asked for the cameras to show the woman’s sign to the crowd.
“Listen, forget Drake, forget anybody else in this building right now. That’s a true soldier right there,” he said to cheers from the crowd.

He added: “I hope my manager doesn’t kill me ’cause I’ve never really done this much, but listen, I want you to cash this in at the end of the night. We’re gonna give you $100,000. I love you and I wish you the best.”
