Generous Drake strikes again with $25,000 for pregnant fan who wanted a ‘rich baby daddy’
For the last six months, Drake has made it a point to lavishly gift fans in the crowd during his and J. Cole's joint It's All a Blur Tour: Big As the What? shows.
A pregnant Drake fan is $25,000 richer, thanks to a generous gift from the rapper himself.
Video shared on X showed the “God’s Plan” artist talking to a female fan in the audience at his concert at Frost Bank Financial Center in San Antonio, Texas, on Saturday, according to People.
The woman held a sign that read, “I’m five months pregnant, can you be my Rich Baby Daddy?” in reference to the track featuring Sexyy Red and SZA off his latest album, “For All The Dogs.”
“Well, first of all, I don’t wanna offend your real baby daddy, but I would love to — first of all, get you out of the pit so we can put you somewhere safe like the VIP or some s—,” Drake replied. “Cause you can’t be pregnant getting bounced around. When I start playing some of these slappers, we can’t have you getting pushed around.”
He added: “Second of all, I’d love to give you $25,000 so you can be a rich baby mama.”

“I like that sign. That’s a good sign to pick tonight,” Drake told the concert-goer, whose sign read, “I spent all my savings buying tickets for me and my ex, but Honestly, Nevermind, it’s really Her Loss.”
The poster referenced two of Drake’s album titles, “Honestly, Nevermind” and “Her Loss.”
“You know what?” Drake added. “She’s gonna feel real f—ed up ’cause I’m a give you 50 bands, so you gon’ flex on her tonight.”
