Drake has promised to gift one lucky fan $20,000 after playing a game of rock paper scissors with them while on stage.

Responding to one of the many signs that are now a staple at his concerts, the 6 God spotted a fan in the audience at his show in Sydney requesting a game of rock paper scissors to buy their dad a car for his birthday.

Drizzy, who confidently called it his “game,” proceeded to win by three games to two, but decided to gift the fan the huge sum of money anyway.

“Play the noise where he loses,” he told his music supervisor, before adding: “I’m still gonna give you $20,000 so you can buy your dad a car,” to a huge roar from the crowd.

 

Drake’s practice of giving out money during his concerts has become somewhat controversial as he tours Australia and New Zealand.

In a viral picture taken at a recent show on his Anita Max Win Tour, a number of signs can be seen being held up by the crowd detailing reasons why the rapper should gift them cash.

Some of the reasons included paying off a parent’s mortgage, funding a bachelorette party in Ibiza and covering vet bills.

The scene caused a bit of a stir on social media, with some users calling it “dystopian.”

“Drake aside (literally replace him with any celeb), this is one of the most genuinely dystopian photographs I’ve seen in recent months,” read one viral tweet. “Not expounding on this but yea kinda chilling woah.”

Another user echoed that sentiment by commenting: “Indeed, a haunting and unsettling image.”

Drizzy has already been in a giving mood on his Oceania tour, which is set to keep him on the road until mid-March.

During a performance in Melbourne earlier this month, he vowed to gift $25,000 to a fan holding an “Adonis for President” sign.

“We’ll start here with you because you’re showing a lot of love to my son,” he said. “On behalf of me and my son… We’re going to give you $25,000 for your family.”
