Drake is helping out a fan in need.

Drake offered to cover a fan's surgery costs during a concert in St. Louis on Tuesday night while performing on his It’s All a Blur: Big As the What? Tour with J. Cole. The unnamed fan held up a sign asking for the Toronto rapper's help while he rapped on stage. At one point during the show, Drake stopped to acknowledge him.

"You got a sign out that says, 'Please help me with my surgery.' I don't know what kind of surgery you need, sir. I really don't, but I'ma let you know: From me to you, St. Louis love, we gonna take care of whatever the surgery is," he said as the crowd erupted into cheers. From there, he said that he hopes to see the fan in the audience the next time he performs in St. Louis.

Elsewhere in the show, Drake teased having new music in store, despite recently announcing a break. “You know, I said I was taking a break and all that sh*t, but I’m right back on the road again,” he told the crowd. “It’s hard for me to stay away from y’all — I really do love you. You never know. I might get bored and start making some new music on the road, see where it goes in the next little while.” Check out his interaction with the fan in need of support below.
