Drake offers to pay medical bill of fan dealing with multiple sclerosis at his Toronto show
Drake helps a sick fan pay his bills at his Toronto concert.
Canadian rapper Drake displayed his compassionate side during a recent concert in Toronto. The 36-year-old musician offered to cover the medical expenses of a fan who had recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).
The heartwarming incident occurred during Drake's performance at Scotiabank Arena on Friday. A video shared by an audience member captured the touching moment when Drake paused his set to address the fan's sign on stage. The sign read, "I just found out I have MS, will you help make my night?"
Clearly moved by the request, Drake shared the importance of the moment with the crowd, mentioning his close friend and collaborator, record producer 40 (Noah James Shebib), who was diagnosed with MS at the age of 22 in 2005.
The rapper expressed his desire to help the fan by connecting her with 40, stating, "You know, my brother 40 is one of the strongest people on earth, and he fights through a lot of things." Drake continued, "So what I'm going to do is, I'm going to connect you with 40 first of all, maybe you can have a conversation."
