Drake recently offered a pregnant fan VIP tickets and $30,000 to get her out of a mosh pit that formed at one of his concerts.
The musician has developed a reputation for picking out certain fans at some of his shows and bestowing valuable gifts upon them, including hefty lump sums of money.
It's resulted in the rather dystopian image of a crowd of Drake fans holding up signs begging for him to bestow his financial favour upon them and help sort out their problems.
Signs have asked for help with mortgage payments, vet bills for their pets, money for an engagement ring and the non-specific request to 'give my father a break'.

To Drake's credit, he has helped some of the people who've come to his concerts to ask him for help, but the sight of a crowd of people who all seemingly need help and have resorted to holding up signs at a Drake concert in the hope of relief is somewhat worrying.
One of the recent recipients of a gift from Drake got offered VIP tickets and a large sum of money.
At his show in Sydney on Wednesday (19 February) Drake was filmed telling a fan holding a sign saying she was 20 weeks pregnant to get out of the mosh pit, he then gave her VIP tickets and an offer of $30,000.
"There's another sign that's concerning me, hold on wait, I don't even know if this sign is true or not, I've gotta see, where's the girl that says she's pregnant?" the rapper said as he addressed the crowd, many of which were holding their own signs.

"In the pit? I saw a sign, somebody said they were 20 weeks pregnant in the pit. Get your a** out of the pit.
"Are you 20 weeks pregnant? Get out of the pit, get out of there. Get the camera on here, get that baby out of the pit ASAP."
Drake then called on someone to 'get her some VIP tickets immediately and like $30,000'.
He said: "Get that baby out of the mosh pit, what the f**k is wrong with y'all? Who the f**k brings a baby to a mosh pit?"

Footage then showed concert staff leading the woman beneath the walkway Drake was standing on, presumably to take her to a VIP section.
The woman in question was Tiana Henderson, whose sign read: "I'm 20 weeks pregnant, will you be my rich baby daddy?"
Taking to Instagram after the concert, she wrote: "Ok woke up this morning and can confirm IT WAS NOT A DREAM. @champagnepapi I love you so much and I’ll never forget this experience."
