If you're a Drake fan, you probably know that he recently released a new single called "God's Plan." But did you know that this song also has some deep meaning behind it? The lyrics in this song are about the fact that Drake has been able to withstand a lot of haters and enemies who wish for him to be killed.
In the video for God's Plan, Drake distributes his million-dollar production budget to people around Miami who aren't as wealthy as he is. He offers them groceries for free, gives scholarships to college students and even takes a few of them on shopping sprees.
It's a powerful message. In an industry that's increasingly known for putting half-baked political statements and disingenuous solidarity on the backburner, Drake is doing more than most to show how much he cares about his fans.
Besides the generosity, there's the fact that Drake is genuinely trying to make a difference in this world. His team actually did their research before they decided how to spend the money that was poured into this video.
As an industry that often struggles with wealth inequality, it's refreshing to see Drake put his money where his mouth is. His transparency in releasing the entire budget for this video down to the last cent is an act of philanthropy that could truly change someone's life.
