Drake has been continuing his charitable giveaways during his current tour of Australia, but he made an especially generous offer during a recent show in Brisbane.
On Monday (February 24), Drizzy pulled up to the city for the first of three shows at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. He noticed someone in the crowd holding a sign that read “Mums Cancer Treatment.”
“I can’t ignore this right here,” the rapper said, pointing to the person with the sign. “Everybody has been pointing to this man all night… This is important.”
He continued: “Make some noise for anybody in this world that’s fighting any disease, but especially cancer. That’s real soldiers, real gangster.”
Then he made his much-anticipated offer to help.
“Let me tell you something, my man,” he said. “I’m not even going to put a number on it. Whatever you need for your mother’s cancer treatment, I’ma take care of everything for you, I promise you… Anything.”
