Drake with Odelie Paret — In February 2018, the ‘One Dance’ musician showed even more generosity by rewarding a 63-year-old hotel cleaner by giving her a $10,000 shopping spree and spa day. This was when Drake learnt that the mother-of-five commuted for four hours every day to support her family, the Daily Mail reported. In his Instagram story, Drake reached out to his fan base, encouraging them to do a kind deed for someone, and post it to keep the positivity from the video going. Incidentally, he did not create a hashtag or request the song be played in the video because he only wanted to “see all the love being spread” he said in his Instagram story.
