Drake gave away the entire $1 million budget for his new music video

in #drake7 years ago

Drake's new music video for "God's Plan" is making waves, but not just because of his chart-topping song.

Rather, it's because the rapper gave away the project's entire $996,631.90 budget, which he chronicles throughout the video. "Don't tell the label…" the opening credits read.

The next six minutes feature Drake handing out stacks of cash to people on the street, delivering toys to the children of Miami's Lotus House, surprising a family with a brand new car and providing a scholarship to a student at the University of Miami, among other acts of kindness.105013881-Drake.600x400.jpgThis comes on the heels of the rapper performing seemingly random good deeds all over Miami, including taking a hotel maid on a shopping spree and footing the bill for an entire grocery store's worth of shoppers.

The video turns on its head the stereotype of rappers taking over Miami to drink and party. It may also be a callback to an old feud with 2 Live Crew's Uncle Luke, who once called out Drake and other rappers for partying in Miami without investing anything into it, as W points out.
