Drake unleashed his “God’s Plan” video into the world on Friday (February 16) and people clearly weren’t ready for the emotions they were about to feel.
Throughout the nearly six-minute visual, we see the Toronto music giant bless one person after another with money, cars, shopping sprees and donations. Shot in Miami, the emotive video yielded heavy praise from people on Twitter.
Many admitted they cried while watching it and some revealed they had a newfound respect for Drake.
The concept of “God’s Plan,” which is taken from the Scary Hours EP, sees Drake’s faith to the test and finds him relying on a power greater than himself to get him through life.
It also inspired the 6 God to enact his own social media challenge.
“I am not into challenges on IG I find them annoying,” he wrote on Friday (February 16). “but today I am going to challenge everyone to just go out and do something for someone, anything, the smallest thing just to bring another human being some joy and please tag me in it somehow so I can see all the love being spread…you don’t have to play the song in the background or have some other tactics being used.”
He adds, “Just go be kind in any way you can and let’s all watch the world be nice to each other even if it’s for 24 hours … Thank You.”
People were feeling the video and a few of them deemed Drake not only a legend but also the G.O.A.T. following its release.
Check out some of the reactions below.
This makes me want to be a dick because of how much I despise this man
I see one Drake hater on here with a sad, miserable life so far, and there will be more, trust. They will never find any happiness in their lives. People like them are the reasons we have hate, tragedies and conflicts in this world. A school shooting on Valentine’s Day, SMH. Like 6ix God said, be positive for a change. The world can become a much better place slowly but surely. Real ting ya kno? #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife #DrizzySZN #GodsPlan #FreeMeekMill
damn u be choking on drake’s di3k!
Shut up! You worthless vile piece of shot..You’re just miserable and a failure, dumb idiot…
The world don’t need bast*rds like you, you must be a nutcase and people like you make the world full of hate….Just Die already moron!
So someone disliking an artist caused a school shooting? You know theres something wrong when ur such a fanboy that when someone hates ur fav artist, you blame every single tragedy on them. You’re the one who lives a sad, miserable life.
Fuck twitter
So this video is supposed to make people forget what a career lyric stealing, beat biting, spineless hiding behind subliminals, ghostwritten bitch made pop puppet Fake Drake is..FOH..When it comes to rhymes don’t steal or take, be original..don’t duplicate..Guess Fake Drake didn’t get the memo. Real things don’t you know! #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK
maybe Drake should come help some of the low lives in the comment section.
Yeah true…The stupid people commenting rubbish here are mentally deranged and all failures, they turn a good thing to bad. He gave out over 600k and y’all hating on this? Damn
The world would be better without all you stupids here, piece of sh*t low life’s, you will all die frustrated idiots
Hard to see Drake as a God Fearing man when he promotes the agenda of Satan
i just find it odd that this video is in florida and its called gods plan after a mass shooting in that state..
What’s odd? Were they both not Gods plan?
You’re not the only one.
Drake for president make rap great again
I love how artists have secretive PR accounts that promote their singles, videos one way or another. Have enough people say one thing and bam! Everybody follows suit. It’s a dope video, but on the real, maybe I’m to MANNED-UP to get emotional.
Cool
No Kyle Useless only your dick riding drake ass was emotional. Nobody else gave 2 shits smh
Love the Drake
That seinfeld?
Can’t hate on this.
Drake paid shekels for this article.
Its got nothing to do with kindness or having a good heart.. Its all marketing n self promotion.. If u really wan do good things for people, why publicize it????? Its all a publicity stunt.. Trying to back the dwindling fan base..!!!
How you hating on this? He publicized it (aside from the obv promotion) to spread the word and get others doing the same thing. GTFOH with your negative bullshit.
It’s a bit of both. The best kind of marketing is when it doesn’t look like marketing. I’m sure Drake wanted to do something good but it’s still a business move.
You GTFO with the celebrity worship. Aubrey been going down to Miami for years and now all of sudden he wants to give back after years of seeing homeless people walking around south beach and sleeping on the beach. Opportunistic PR stunt stolen from actual conscious people
So drake giving away money my man, bet 50 cent wishes he was in Miami that day
only idiots will fall for this crap
Man i see alot of people with their “Reason” for making a positive gesture into something negative. The motives behind this gesture kindness has no malice so. The intentions to help show people that there is still some form of empathy and kindness in this crazy world we’re living in is the drive and bigger picture. Misery loves company, like crabs in a bucket, no one can suceed if i can’t, if i’m down, you’re down, if i got to be here why are you evolving, why should you get to be happy if i can’t. Is it marketing, yes. Is that not his business, his job, his lively hood? So if you can do what you love as your job be truly happy and pass that along to others while expanding your brand, wouldn’t you chose to do so? Enough with all the bullshit, hating for no reason, cause i know no one lives in a glass house. Try being happy and good to yourself, then maybe you could appreciate a kind gesture when you see it instead of finding fault and attacking someone. And i was not an immediate drake fan i became one before this alblum though. I use to conseder him a lebron James type. Crowned king before touching the floor or stage type. Both having proved above and beyond they belong at the top. I view this as growth, which we should all be striving for everyday we are here. But that’s just my 2cents.
*”rap music video…bitches and”
Had to correct that before an internet gangster who actually cares about grammar calls me out.
HHDX with another bj to the 6fraud. Dude has had money his whole life and now decides it’s time to give back. The 6fraud is just using other people’s awareness as a PR Stunt to sell records. Less Drake, more Tupac.
He ain’t an MC, he has writers. He ain’t the greatest of anything, maybe greatest imitator or imposter. Aubrey been going down to Miami for years and he just now realized the homeless people sleeping on south beach. GTFO with this promotional stunt.
He has writers that might be true…..but obviously you have missed the message. PR stunt or not! Try finding an artist aside from Tupac who has done anything close to what Drake has just accomplished with this song and video. How about you try and support the accomplishment and move forward. The music industry says otherwise so your comment is without merit!
God bless this man. You can’t hate on this unless you a pathetic hater. Blessings man.
Drake definitely in the top 2 and he ain’t number 2.
I see all these negative post about what Drake did stunt or not he touched many people lives and what the hell are you doing…..not a dam thing but hating but it’s typical you can’t do good without doing bad!!!! Yea he has been going to Miami for years so what it’s a gesture this the dam problem we focus to much on the negative and not the positive take all the stunt and other BS out of the equation and for one just look at it for what it is a blessing to many for what he did and if your not from PR don’t speak on something you have no idea about……just HATERS!!!!??
What I’m hearing in part are comments bordering on negative and non-supportive of the message behind the video whether it be a PR stunt or not. The message in todays music should move the masses and provide people with hope ( hip hop, rap music and the like ). Not since Tupac has artist done anything near what Drake has accomplished in this video and the song as well. He has expanded the message in music with Gods Plan whether it included supporting writers or not. This is what the great artists do! Follow suit and support him, expand your own musical creativity and provide us with the same thing that Drake has done….good music that just might impact and bring happiness to the lives of others and lending hope just for a moment if at all to people in need. I hope this message inspires change and that the haters have a change of heart respecting what Drake has just accomplished with this song. Push the envelope and move forward…..God Bless!
I think that Drake was a little off the beat but in overall it was gud and i also played this at my local Church n the response was gud. #blessup
HE IS THE BEST -DRAKE
