Drake has been spreading his generosity all throughout his It’s All a Blur Tour, gifting fans shopping sprees, offering to pay one fan’s late mother’s mortgage and promising to cover a concertgoer’s medical expenses as she battles multiple sclerosis.

“I’m going to get you a good lawyer, and we’re gonna pay for your divorce tonight,” the Toronto native said in a viral clip of the moment that was captured during a break at the Prudential Center in New Jersey last week. “You gon’ be single and ready to mingle with your fine ass.”

The Hotline Bling rapper also offered to pay for the woman to go out on a date. “While you at it, you need to find you somebody to take you out on a date, too. I’ll pay for the date, too, don’t worry about it.”

The generous act was just one of many the music icon shared while he was out on the road during the nearly year-long tour. Last month, he offered to cover the mortgage for a fan’s late mother.

During a show in Kansas City in March, the seven-time Juno winner paused his set as someone near the front tried to hand him a note.

After opening it up, Drake told the crowd, “You said, ‘(Pay) off my mom’s house, rest in peace.’ Your mom passed away? Alright. And you owe … Oh, this is the outstanding balance right here.”

He continued, “This is a lot of money right here. But you know what, Imma pay off your momma’s house for you.”

As the audience cheered loudly, Drake revealed the amount “160 bands” — or $160,000 — before assuring the concertgoer he was going to pay it out of “my pocket.”

“Imma pay out of my pocket. That’s gonna come from me. Rest in peace to your momma,” he said in a clip shared by a fan to X. “Rest in peace to Jennifer Schumer. Rest in peace. I love you.”

Drake’s gift came after he shelled out $25,000 to a fan in Buffalo the week before who he spotted with a sign that read, “Beat stage four cancer just in time for drake #godsplan.”

During a February stop in Nashville, Drake pledged another $100,000 to Lauren Schwallier who said she had just finished chemo.

“Listen, forget Drake, forget anybody else in the building right now. That’s a true soldier right there,” he said.

“I hope my manager doesn’t kill me ’cause I’ve never really done this much … We’re gonna give you $100,000,” he said.

At his hometown show in Toronto last October, Drake offered to pay tuition for seven people in the crowd and promised to cover one fan’s medical expenses as she battles multiple sclerosis.

“There’s a couple of things I want to do tonight,” the music superstar told the sold-out Scotiabank Arena. “I don’t know if you’ve been watching these shows, but everywhere I go, I try and spread love and I try and help people the way I can. So tonight I want to do a bunch of things. First and foremost, I saw somebody that had a sign that said they paid for their ticket with OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) money. Somebody else had a sign that said, ‘Pay for my tuition’ … This is what I’m going to do. We’re paying for your tuition tonight and we’re paying for your tuition tonight. And we’re going to find five more people who need their tuition paid. I’m taking care of everything.”

Later, he singled out a fan with a sign that said, “I just found out I have MS.” Drake offered to connect her with his longtime musical collaborator Noah “40” Shebib, who also struggles with the illness, and then said he would help the concertgoer get treatment.

“I’m going to pay whatever it takes to get you the best help in the world, I promise you that. You got my word. And, you can come back tomorrow night.”

Another fan in Toronto received a Mercedes-Benz G-Class car. “I want everybody to be super quiet. I want to hear the winner scream,” he told the crowd before picking someone at random.

Elsewhere at his shows, the God’s Plan singer handed out a Birkin Bag (“Drake ain’t cheap!” he declared, as he scoured the crowd to find one lucky recipient), a Chanel handbag and stacks of cash.

When he noticed one fan at a show in Las Vegas with a sign saying they had spent their furniture money on tickets to the concert, Drake offered to help get them back on track. “My man, your furniture money, I’m gonna give you 50 bands ($50,000) tonight cause’ I love you,” he said.

In Texas last month, when he spotted a pregnant patron in the crowd, he offered her $25,000 “so you can be a rich baby mama.”

The woman’s seats also got an upgrade.

“I would love to get you out of the pit so we can put you somewhere safe like the VIP or some s—,” he told the fan. “ ’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.”
