OT: Raptors global ambassador, Drake, gives 1 mill away in music video

If you hate his music it’s still interesting even with the sound off.

Note: He gave this money away in the lower income regions of Miami Florida from the sounds of it.

Funny enough, that's a better video than he would have made for that $1 mil. Well done.

If they subbed in FVV for a few shots I probably wouldn't notice. The haircut, beard and black hoodie are spot on.

It's a different take on spending one million for a video with women scantily dressed and expensive chains /cars being thrown in your face.

I hope he finally wins some hardware for this one.

Ya, I think he spent the money poorly too. Now those scantily clad models will have to desperate things instead because of Drake.

I know you were being sarcastic, but I want to highlight how amazing it was that he wanted to partner with MLSE and give away even more money to Toronto neighbourhoods. It’s sad to think that your comment will definitely be said sincerely by ignorant people. He’s done an insane amount for this city.

Can you picture close to billionaires Jay-Z or Diddy doing this or even consider doing this out of publicity. Hell naaah!

Those two may have the respect within hip hop culture, but Drake, his ability to relate to people outside of the culture, stay relevant and just be real transcends that.

Have to give the man his respect.

I'm not a huge fan of his music but he is a respectable guy and one of the few people of character in mainstream music.
