Drake promised to give $50,000 to a fan who survived cancer during his performance in Pittsburgh on Friday night. At one point, Drake pointed to a fan holding a sign, which according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, read: “Ur music carried me through cancer." He then offered to bless the attendee with a huge paycheck.
It's not the first time on the It’s All a Blur — Big as the What? Tour that Drake has offered to help out a cancer survivor. In Nashville, last week, he gave a shoutout to a fan who noted they just finished chemo. “I hope my manager doesn’t kill me ’cause I’ve never really done this much, but listen, I want you to cash this in at the end of the night,” he said at the time. “We’re gonna give you $100,000. I love you and I wish you the best.”

Drake has been performing on the tour with J. Cole and Lil Durk for weeks now. While he previously told fans he'd be taking a break from working on new music, he changed his tune during a concert in St. Louis, earlier this week. “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 in Pittsburgh below.
