The fan's sign did what it needed to do.

If there's one common theme that's carried through every single Drake project, it's his affinity for thick women. The Canadian artist has mentioned them time and time again but what really drove the point home was his verse on Nicki Minaj's "Only." The rapper admits to being obsessed with thick women whose asses are "on Houston, Texas." 

"I mean, she say I'm obsessed with thick women and I agree
Yeah, that's right, I like my girls BBW
Yeah, type that wanna suck you dry and then eat some lunch with you"

It's been a while since that song was released but the sentiment clearly still stands. During his recent performance in London, one fan referenced the song with a sign that read, "I heard you like BBWs?"

The sign caught the attention of Drake who stopped singing mid-song to acknowledge the girl's sign. "You can't hold signs like that," Drake said jokingly. "You're gonna make me laugh."

The fan who had the sign was fortunate enough to have a friend recording the whole thing which spread across social media.

Drake's currently on the final dates of his "Assassination Vacation" tour in Europe with Tory Lanez. Tonight is his final date for his London residency at the O2 Arena which got temporarily renamed to the O3 in honor of the rapper's Grammy-award winning single, "God's Plan."
