Drake has promised to gift a cancer survivor $50,000 while performing at the Pittsburgh stop of his “It’s All A Blur – Big As the What?” tour.While performing at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Friday, February 16, the rapper took the time to read a poster that an attendee was holding that shared how his music helped her through her cancer battle.“This beautiful young lady has a sign that says ‘Your music carried me through cancer’.

Well that’s a strong statement coming from a survivor, coming from a “G” like yourself,” he said while on stage.He continued: “So, tonight, I don’t know what you want to do with it, it’s up to you, I hope you do whatever you want, do something nice for yourself, by the way, I’ll keep trying to make music you want to listen to, but tonight we are going to give you $50,000.

You do something, you go somewhere, you can come and see another Drake show if you want. And I appreciate that, I appreciate the sentiment.

It’s love.”This is not the first time the ‘Headlines’ rapper has been generous while on stage. He previously promised a steep $100,000 to a concert attendee who had just finished their chemotherapy treatment at one of his gigs in Nashville.“Listen, forget Drake, forget anybody else in this building right now.
