Drake might be a worldwide rap icon, but he has an undefeated streak in Rock Paper Scissors and a heart just as big as his bankroll. While stopping in Australia for his Anita Max Win Tour, the "Hotline Bling" hit maker noticed a sign in the crowd that transformed a routine game into a life-changing experience.
Among the throngs of screaming fans, one concertgoer had a sign that read: "Rock-paper-scissors to buy my dad a birthday car." It was a daring provocation, and Drake quickly took the bait.
"I like this sign right here," he said, making eye contact with the fan. "Oh s**t, that's my game, boy.
Brought to the edge, the showdown commenced. The fan threw the rock. Drake threw paper. Game over. But the fan was unprepared to call it a day without a rematch. They tried it repeatedly, and Drake prevailed with the same maneuver.
Drake laughed, pleased with himself for running the game. But what followed was the true victory of the night.
"I'm still gonna give you $20 thousand so you can buy your dad a car," he said, causing the stadium to erupt immediately. The fan could not believe what he had just seen.
Drake not so subtly flexed his muscles, though. "You can f**k with me all you want, but don't ever with rock, paper, scissors!" I will win."
Drake's largess has become a signature of his concerts, transforming them into more than performances. Fans aren't leaving with unforgettable memories ; they're going with transformative moments.
Drake recently recognized a pregnant fan in the crowd during the concert and promptly gave her $30,000 and VIP tickets earlier in the tour.
On a different night, he saw a sign that said "Adonis for President," named after his 7-year-old son. Drake, touched by the affection for his boy, replied in kind with a fantastic present. "Providing a lot of love to my son," he said. "I'm going to give you 25 grand for your family on behalf of me and Adonis."
These moments have embedded the tour as more than a hit showcase, a dream-fulfilling experience.
Drake has always been about donations, whether music or charity. From his viral "God's Plan" music video to surprise giveaways at concerts, he's demonstrating time and time again that success doesn't come from money, but it comes from changing lives.
One lucky fan who wished his father a happy birthday got a surprise from a rapper who has a way of winning almost everything and would be able to make it come true in Australia.
And is there one lesson to learn from the night? We repeat: never challenge Drake to Rock Paper Scissors unless you're willing to lose and still walk away as an ultimate champ.
