Drake and 21 S*vage's "It's All A Blur" tour has had plenty of show-stopping moments, viral antics, and surprises at each stop. However, the trek isn't keeping all of its most special moments restricted to what happens once you walk into the venue. Moreover, a group of fans were waiting deep into the night and almost into the next morning on Friday (August 18) to get wristbands for Saturday's San Francisco show. Said bands grant access to a special standing area. Thanks to new social media clips from this incredibly lucky group, we now see how much the 6 God appreciates their support.

Furthermore, Drake emerged from a black SUV to say hi to these folks, who all expressed shock and awe. They took pictures together and even got into some friendly banter after overcoming the sheer surprise. In fact, the OVO mogul remarked that he lost his voice, but promised it would be back by the time the show started. "You better have it for tomorrow," a fan told him, and he assured her that he would with a hug.
