While in the British territory, the two rap stars presented a local singer with a special gift. On behalf of the crypto betting platform Stake Drake and Jack Harlow gifted $20,000 to one of the entertainers at the Grace Bay Club. Drizzy also praised Janardo Laporte for his rendition of the OVO frontmans Hold On, Were Going Home single. All three men began playing roulette on Stake before Drake asked Laporte what he would do with the winnings from the game. The singer/saxophonist responded, Ive got three kids. So I want to do something for my kids and enhance my music career a little bit. At that point, Drake pulled out $20,000 in cash from his pocket and gave it to the local performer. Janardo Laporte later exclaimed, Hey, I wasnt expecting this. I was on my way home, and Oh, man! Woo! Yeah, baby! A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) Drake uploaded footage of the moment to his Instagram page.
