Among the placards were ones asking for help to buy an engagement ring, one who wanted to buy their mother a Hermes Birkin bag, another hoping to pay off her mum’s mortgage, one asking for help paying vet bills, and one that simply said: “Drake… Give my father a break.”.
Critics on social media seemed divided over whether fans should simply show their appreciation for Drake during his shows, rather than ask him for money, or whether Drake himself had encouraged such behaviour.
Photos from Drake’s recent concert in Sydney are going viral as they showed fans with signs apparently begging the Canadian artist for money.
However, a picture of Drake standing on stage in front of hundreds of fans waving their signs has gone viral, with one person branding the scene “dystopian”.
Drake raised eyebrows last month when he filed a lawsuit against his own record label, Universal Music Group – which also represents Lamar – for defamation over lyrics in “Not Like Us” that accuse him of being a paedophile.
