"Lot of memorable nights in this room in my life, for sure" he look at the camera and says. "Speaking of memorable nights, I had an incredible night last night playing roulette on Stake". The video then sees the Certified Lover Boy scoring big on the Bitcoin gaming platform.
He then explains: "So yeah, as you can see, I was clearly excited. Anytime I get blessed like that, I always think it’s good karma that needs to be transferred. So, I play for fun and I play in hopes that I can spread love always. So tonight, I’m doing a dinner with my brother [James] … We’re doing a Lobos dinner tonight".
The Canadian rapper goes on to explain that he and LeBron also invited Michael, a student-athlete from Toronto's Royal Crown Academic School and his mum, who Drake dubs as 'one of the hardest-working ladies on the planet'. "We're going to bless them tonight so I'm excited to watch their reaction" he continues.
He then pulls out stacks of $100,000 in cash and gives it to Michael's mother, exchanging hugs before telling her "Hopefully it makes this journey a bit easier". He is then seen handing Michael's coach a pair of shoes and some cash too.
