Drake is supporting a fan in need.
The rapper, 36, offered to pay for a fan’s medical care after she shared on a sign that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) before attending his Toronto concert on Friday.
In a video shared by a concertgoer at the show, Drake paused his set at Scotiabank Arena as he addressed the fan’s sign onstage.
“This one’s important to me,” the artist — who released his new album For All the Dogs on Friday — told the crowd. “Her sign says, ‘I just found out I have MS, will you help make my night.’ ”
Drake then spoke about his friend and close collaborator — record producer 40, whose real name is Noah James Shebi — who was diagnosed with MS at age 22 in 2005.
“You know, my brother 40 is one of the strongest people on earth, and he fights through a lot of things,” Drake said. “So what I’m going to do is, I’m going to connect you with 40 first of all, maybe you can have a conversation.”
“And second of all, I’m going to pay whatever it takes to get you the best help in the world, I promise you that,” the rapper added as the crowd cheered. “You got my word — and you can come back tomorrow night!”

A screen in the arena then displayed the tearful reaction of the fan who held up the sign, followed by a shocked expression as she realized she was invited back to watch the show.
MS is a condition affecting the brain and spinal cord that causes problems with balance, movement in the arms or legs, sensation, and vision.
Drake’s kind gesture came after he revealed that he is also prioritizing his own health.
On Friday, the Canadian musician revealed on Table For One on SiriusXM’s Sound 42 that he is taking a break from music to focus on his health, as he shared he’s been having the “craziest problems” with his stomach.

“I probably won’t make music for a little bit. I’m gonna be honest,” Drake said. “I got some other things I need to do for some other people that I made promises to, but I probably won’t make music for a little bit. I’m gonna be real with you. I need to focus on my health first and foremost and I’ll talk about that soon enough.”
The rapper then detailed that he’s going to take a hiatus for “maybe a year.”
He continued, “Nothing crazy but just I want people to be healthy in life, and I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach. So I need to focus on my health and get right, and I’m going to do that.”
