Drake supports a fan in need.
The rapper, 36, offered to pay for a fan’s medical care after she posted on a sign that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) before attending his concert in Toronto on Friday.
IN video shared by a concertgoer at the show, Drake stopped his set at the Scotiabank Arena while addressing a fan sign on stage.
“This one is important to me,” the artist – who released his new album For all dogs on Friday – he told the crowd. “Her sign says, ‘I just found out I have MS, will you help me make the night.’ ”

Drake then spoke about his friend and close collaborator – producer 40, whose real name is Noah James Shebi – who was diagnosed with MS in 2005 at the age of 22.
“You know, my brother 40 is one of the strongest men in the world and he struggles with a lot of things,” Drake said. “What I’m going to do is hook you up with 40 of everything first, maybe you can talk.”
“And secondly, I’ll pay whatever it takes to give you the best help in the world, I promise,” added the rapper as the crowd cheered. “You have my word—and you can come back tomorrow night!”

The screen in the arena then showed the fan’s tearful reaction as she held up the sign, followed by a shocked look on her face when she realized she had been invited to watch the performance again.
MS is a condition that affects the brain and spinal cord and causes problems with balance, arm or leg movement, sensation and vision.
Drake’s kind gesture came after he revealed that his own health is also a priority.
On Friday, the Canadian musician revealed A table for one on SiriusXM’s Sound 42 that he’s taking a break from music to focus on his health, as he shared that he’s having the “craziest issues” with his stomach.

“I probably won’t make music for a while. I’ll be honest,” Drake said. “I have some other things to do for some other people that I promised, but I probably won’t be doing music for a while. I’ll be honest with you. I have to focus on my health first and I will soon.”
The rapper then detailed that he would be taking a break for “maybe a year.”
He continued: “Nothing crazy, I just want people to be healthy in life, and I’ve had the craziest stomach problems for years. So I have to focus on my health and recovery, and I will do that.”
