Drake's Viral Concert Photo Sparks 'Dystopian' Concerns: '[It's] Kinda Chilling'

Drake‘s recent concert in Australia has gone viral, but not for the reasons he may have hoped.

In a picture taken of the audience at a recent show during the 6 God’s Anita Max Win Tour down under, a number of signs can be seen being held up by the crowd detailing reasons why the rapper should give them money.

Some of the reasons included paying off a parent’s mortgage, funding a bachelorette party in Ibiza and covering vet bills.

Drake, of course, has a history of giving away large sums of money to fans in attendance at his shows, but the signs nonetheless caused a stir on social media, with some going so far as to describe the scene as “dystopian.”

“Drake aside (literally replace him with any celeb), this is one of the most genuinely dystopian photographs I’ve seen in recent months,” read one viral tweet. “Not expounding on this but yea kinda chilling woah.”

Another user echoed that sentiment by commenting: “Indeed, a haunting and unsettling image.”

Someone else said: “Like without context, it def does look like he’s performing in some wartorn country where everyone is poor,” while a fourth person joked: “The vibe is giving ‘society has collapsed but we still have concerts.'”

Drake has already given away large sums of cash during his Anita Max Win Tour, which is set to keep him on the road in Australia and New Zealand into mid-March.

During his performance at RAC Arena in Perth earlier this month, he spotted a couple of fans in the crowd and gifted them $20,000 each.

“You guys are from Perth. I don’t know where you’ve been in your life, 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,” the Toronto native said.

“You gotta show love. You see, 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.”

At a previous concert in Melbourne on the night of his archrival Kendrick Lamar‘s Super Bowl halftime show, Drizzy gave $25,000 to a fan holding an “Adonis for President” sign.

“We’ll start here with you because you’re showing a lot of love to my son,” he told the fan. “On behalf of me and my son… We’re going to give you $25,000 for your family.”
