Drake is known for many things, and we can add philanthropist to the list. Drake has been telling us about "God's Plan" with his new hit single which spent the second week in a row at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 after breaking Spotify and Apple Music's single day streaming record. But talking about God's plan doesn't seem enough for the Toronto rapper. He decided he could show us better than he could tell us.
On Monday, Drake made a surprise visit to Miami Senior High School in South Florida to film the video for "God's Plan." According to ABC, while he let students appear as extras in the visual, the biggest surprise came when he donated $25,000 to the institution. Not only that, he also announced the donation of OVO-designed uniforms for every student.
Drake also headed over to the University of Miami to present student Destiny James with a $50,000 scholarship.

"This happened today," the caption reads. "I applied to scholarships last year for which I had to write an essay. I received those scholarships and thought that was the end of it. Apparently, my essay and my story made it to other departments. I was contacted this weekend about doing a video speaking about where I come from, things I've been through, and why it is so important for scholarship donors to continue to donate. This was the surprise the whole time. Drake told me that he has read great things about me and appreciates how hard I've worked through so many trials and decided to give me $50K for my tuition."
She continues, "@champagnepapi THANK YOU SO MUCH!!' You don't understand what this means to me! I would've never imagined this happening to me. I'm just a girl from Denmark, SC that wants to MAKE IT and be somebody and for you to see my hard work means the world. Thank you so much. God, I thank you. You are so great and amazing! Thank you for blessing me when I thought my hard work was going unnoticed. I'm living out my dreams. God's Plan."
But champagnepapi didn't stop there. According to E!, on Tuesday, Drake announced to shoppers at Sabor Tropical Supermarket that he'd be paying for everyone's items, buying groceries totaling $50,000.
Thx for showing Miami Beach some love @Drake! #GodsPlan

If God's plan is for Aubrey "Drake" Graham to bless, the plan is definitely coming to fruition. We can only hope that next time his plan is for us to be blessed by Drake as well.
