Drake has opened his wallet.
The Canadian rapper donated $100,000 to National Bail Out, a collective that is helping bail out Black mothers and caregivers amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
via Complex:
His donation came in response to collaborator and fellow Torontonian Mustafa the Poet, who himself donated $400 and tagged both Drake and The Weeknd in an Instagram Stories post to get the superstar acts involved. “My Toronto Kings @champagnepapi @theweeknd,” he wrote. “Swipe up & match my donation but add 3 zeros! Let’s help reunite black families.”
Drake answered the call with a six-figure donation, though he encountered a slight hiccup in the process. “They just called fraud on my card LOL,” the rapper told Mustafa before it went through. “I donated 100k. They were like nah ?.”
That’s almost enough to make us willfully play “Toosie Slide.” $200,000 would’ve have done it, for sure.
