Drake grants fan wish at KC concert, pledges to pay deceased mother’s $160,000 mortgage

The family of a deceased mother had a special request for Drake Saturday night during his concert at the T-Mobile Center and the crowd roared when he granted it.

Drake pledged to pay off the woman’s mortgage, to the tune of $160,000.

It’s the latest — possiby most generous — big-ticket blessing the “God’s Plan” singer has given a fan on the It’s All A Blur Tour – Big As the What? with fellow rapper J. Cole.

Just last week at one of two concerts in Buffalo, New York, a fan held up a handmade sign that said: “Beat Stage 4 cancer just in time for Drake.” Drake surprised her with $25,000.

In Kansas City, fans posted TikToks capturing the moment that Drake pointed into the T-Mobile crowd to a fan near the stage, also holding a sign.

“How much are we talking right here? You know how much it is? How much is it? Give it to me. Let’s see,” he said as someone passed him a note from the crowd. “Let me see.”

He opened the note, read it and said, “this is it? You said ‘pay off my mom’s house, rest in peace.’ Your mom passed away? All right.”

He kept reading from the note.

“And you owe 13, oh, this is the outstanding balance right here? This is a lot of money right here,” he said.

“But you know what? I’m gonna pay off your mama’s house for you,” as the crowd cheered.

“That’s a lot of money right here,” he said again. “That’s 160 bands ($160,000)? But I’m gonna pay out of my pocket.

“That’s going to come from me. Rest in peace for your mama. Rest in peace for your mama ... rest in peace.”

The gesture stunned social media when word got out.

“Drake just casually paying off peoples houses in Kansas City,” one person tweeted.

Last month at his concert in St. Louis, he stopped that show when he saw a fan holding a sign asking for help for an upcoming surgery.

“I don’t know what kinda surgery you need, sir. I really don’t but I’ma let you know from me to you St. Louis love, we gon’ take care whatever the surgery is,” he promised. “We gonna help you out because we want you to be at the next show with us. You gotta show us love.”

The week before that at his show in Nashville, he called a fan who had just finished chemotherapy a “true soldier” and handed her a voucher for $100,000.

“I hope my manager doesn’t kill me ’cause I’ve never really done this much, but, listen, I want you to cash this in at the end of the night,” he said from the stage. “We’re gonna give you $100,000. I love you and I wish you the best.”

Drake sealed his reputation as one of music’s most generous artsts in 2018 when he gave away the nearly $1 million budgeted for his “God’s Plan” music video. The opening credits read, “don’t tell the label,” before the video showed him handing bundles of cash to people on the street and giving away everything from toys and cars to scholarship money.

He might now be sharing his Super Bowl windfall.

Before Kansas City beat the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas last month, Drake shared on Instagram that he bet $1.15 million on the Chiefs to win because he couldn’t “bet against the Swifties.”

When he won $2.3 million, he wrote on an Instagram Story that somebody the next day at the St. Louis show was about to be “super blessed.”

That’s when he gave an undisclosed amount to the fan for their surgery and at the second St. Louis show gave a couple a tropical vacation in the spirit of Valentine’s Day.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, his wife Brittany Mahomes and brother Jackson Mahomes were at the concert Saturday.

The guy who helped Drake win that big bet gave him a glowing review.

“@Drake and @JColeNC concert was crazyyy!!” Patrick wrote, adding three fire emojis.

Drake traveled to Kansas City in his $185 million private jet nicknamed “Air Drake.” The Boeing 767 plane has three private suites — one with a king-size bed — two living rooms and is custom-painted sky blue with white clouds.

A message painted on the plane’s belly reads, “IF YOU’RE READING THIS WE LEFT.”

Before his Saturday performance he was out and about town. He visited WyCo Vintage, at 3535 Broadway Blvd., which sells vintage T-shirts, sneakers and casual apparel. The shop posted a photo of his visit on Instagram.

Drake himself posted a couple of selfies he snapped at The Monarch Bar, a cocktail bar and lounge at 4808 Roanoke Parkway on the west side of the Country Club Plaza.

Privēe Restaurant & Lounge, 700 Southwest Blvd., hosted the official after-concert party Saturday where Jackson Mahomes was seen among guests arriving and leaving.

Drake and J. Cole perform a second concert at the T-Mobile Center at 8 p.m. Sunday. The Saturday show started late, according to social media posts.
