Drake Reacts To Being Tipped 20 Cents During Live Stream

"Um, thank you for the 20-cent tip, appreciate that. That’ll go to a good cause.”

Canadian superstar Drake went on a live stream on Dec. 17, and was given an unheard-of tip that he graciously accepted.

According to Uproxx, Drake was on the kick.com platform for a promoted $100,000 sub giveaway that was supposed to have taken place during and after Drake was on the live stream.

At some point during the live event, as Drake spoke, he seemingly notice a donation sent online. In the video clip, which was posted by XXL, Drake said, “F**k Drake for the night.” He then paused to take a sip of a beverage, and he came back and he said, “That’s what she said.”

Then he smiled and said, “But, no, honestly, forget about me, um, thank you for the 20-cent tip, [inaudible name], appreciate that. That’ll go to a good cause.”

In the same session of that live stream, the OVO artist used the time to throw shade at, presumably, another recording artist.

“And to the rest of you, the non-believers, the underachievers, the tweet-and-deleters, you guys make me sick to my stomach, fam. Look in my eyes. You guys wanna do something? That’s what I thought.”

Complex reported that fans felt Drake was sneak dissing producer Metro Boomin, who recently took to social media to complain about his project Heroes & Villains not getting as many Grammy nominations as Drake’s Her Loss album.

In a since-deleted post, Boomin wrote, “Yet Her Loss still keeps winning rap album of the year over H&V. proof that award shows are just politics and not for me. Idc about awards honestly, the true award and reward is knowing that the music I spend so much time on brings joy to people’s everyday lives.”
