At the beginning of Drake’s video for “God’s Plan,” the masterminds behind the visual reveal they had a budget of $996,631.90.
And they gave it all away.
Spearheaded by Director X and Karena Evans, “God’s Plan” captures the spirit of the Miami people and documents all of Drake’s good deeds.
While shooting the video in Miami, the philanthropic Toronto superstar paid for people’s groceries, gave a University of Miami college student $50,000, took a housekeeper on a $10,000 shopping spree, donated $25,000 to Miami Senior High School and donated $50,000 to the Lotus House Women’s Shelter — and those are just the donations we knew about.
Throughout the emotionally charged video, we see everything else Drake accomplished while in Florida. He walks up to people on the street and hands them stacks of cash as they burst into tears. He gifts a van to the Overtown Youth Center, donates $20,000 to a fire department, takes several people on a shopping spree at Saks Fifth Avenue and buys carts full of toys for countless children.
And he’s not done there. Before the end of the video, he also buys a couple of lucky families a brand new car.
“God’s Plan” is taken from the Scary Hours EP, and the new visual sends a message of compassion while proving Drake loves more than just his bed and his mama.
wow that was amazing…very inspirational…doing positive things for people is what it’s all about…you can hate all you want but what are you doing for your family, for your friends, for your community…are you giving or are you taking?…much love to drake
Good on Drake for doing this. Nice concept for a video as well. Maybe others should follow his lead?
Not gonna watch but i bet none of those helped by the merchant of Toronto aka Drake the Yid are white.
If he’s such a humanitarian – Why not drop a milli on aid for Palestine?
Cuz these War lovin Maniacs gonna spend it on Missiles
Take the jevvish caulk out your mouth for a second. What good has Israel done for US? Nothing. US gets nothing in return for all those tens of billions of dollars of taxpayers money they get without asking the public if they want to support the illegitimate terrorist regime responsible for all misery and chaos in the middle-east.
I’m not exaggerating when I say this is simply the best music video I ve ever seen.
Amazing!! Almost shed a tear lol. Great work Drake #GodsPlan
Not a big Drake fan, but this was dope af! Good shit Drake
You either like Drake or are miserable
Drizzy fucking Drake is going to be remembered as a legend up there with Jay Z! I never cried when B.I.G died but I probably will when Drake does!
BLOWING A FUCKING TRUMPET? Hey guys I have an idea. Lets take the budget and give people the money so I look like a virtue signalling asshole.
Praying like the scribes and pharisees.
LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!
I’m doing something good!
This was dope!
Drake gets more love than Officer Ricky in his own city! He gave back more in 1 week than that fat sloppy fraud has done in 15 years. shitty j0bs making greasy fried chicken for fat people don’t count.
Oh CANADA….set the example Aubrey. ?
Not gonna lie, shit brought tears to my eyes. This is what people need right now.
One of the greatest videos of all time. Got me so emotional. Drake is incredible.
If you can’t salute this you’re a foul piece of work.
Save all the issa write off talk and respect the good gesture yell
If you still hate Drake even after this video, I have no comments for y’all. The man just gave out a million dollars to citizens he barely knows because he cares about the people. He wants to change people’s lives and make them better. Matter of fact, I think the haters are just mad that Drizzy didn’t give them any money or new cars. Y’all would be in tears too if he gifted something to you. Drop the hating acts. Real ting ya kno? #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife #DrizzySZN #GodsPlan #FreeMeekMill
Because he cares about the people or because he wanted to make a music video about it and had a million dollar budget and he was sick of throwing it around at strip clubs and fancy shit like in all his other videos and saw this as another clever way to market himself? #themoreyouknow…
Or because he’s a genuinely good person and wanted to do good for others. The video wasn’t to market himself, he’s one of the biggest stars in the world. The purpose of the video i believe, was to do something extremely generous and encourage others to do the same. Hence him asking others to follow suite and share their situations with the world. Sad goofs like you always try to find the negative in everything.
Sad goofs like you probably think politicians are good dudes and are really trying to do good things for people out of the kindness of their heart and not for their own personal gain…
dope salute to drake
Is it not just a little bit shameless that he chose to make a music video out of his charitable giving? Don’t get me wrong, handing out a mill and helping people like that is so great. But Prince probably did 100X that and didn’t even tell anyone. I don’t know, good on Drake for sure. Just seems a bit tacky to film yourself doing charity and use it to promote your new single.
by all accounts Prince was a fucking asshole. people working around him were told not to look at him
You too ugly to even look at Prince anyway with your nasty ass teeth go brush your hair you smell like ass GTFOB!!!
I love it nice song and great video, to those who don’t like it damn!!! So you can’t even donate to charity and give $$$ to the homeless without being criticized for your celebrity, and assuming he got alter motives y’all sickening! ????..
Good video, but I hate the song. I haven’t followed what Drake has been doing since Take Care, back then he had a style that he owned that nobody else was doing, whether you thought it was too pop or not he owned the style. He seems to have incorporated certain elements of the new mumble rap style into his lyric style and delivery. There are still traces of his style in it, so I don’t hate it as much as, say, Migos or Uzi Vert, but the music isn’t that good to me.
Don’t listen to dude but he makes boss moves. Salute.
I respect Drake even more after this video. The song is even better now after watching this too. Bumping it every day!!
Ain’t seen this much dickriding since I last watched a porno..lmao!! Hhdx rides drake a lil too hard, y’all will get pregnant!! If u do something from the heart why publicize it? Its all for marketing nothing to do with kindness!!!
DO RIGHT AND KILL EVERYTHING
Hhdx 50 cent dick Ryders, anything negative bout 50 is taken down
