Canadian Toronto media outlet BlogTo said the Canadian rapper threw about $1 million in cash on the floor of a strip club in Houston's 29th District. Drake's friend also posted a video on social media on Nov. 9 in which ecstatic strippers can be seen picking up cash. When a man prompted them to say "thank you, Drake," everyone said in unison, "Thank you Drake!" ”
Britain's "Sun" pointed out that the club also mentioned Drake in a social media post, but this post has now been deleted. It is understood that Drake was a regular at the club and is believed to have been here a few days before the tragedy.

Three days after the stampede, Drake made his first public comment on the "devastating tragedy." In a social media post, he said, "I've been trying to think about this devastating tragedy for the past few days. I feel heartbroken for the families and friends of those who have lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering. I will continue to pray for them and serve them as much as I can. May God be with you. The post is accompanied by a picture of him kneeling on the ground in prayer. Travis Scott, another rapper and event organizer who performed at the festival, also wept bitterly over the accident.

Some netizens slammed Drake for going to a strip club to party with friends less than 48 hours after the tragedy. One netizen wrote, "Although Drake appeared at the strip club the next day of the festival, he still pretended to be sad on social media. "So Drake can drop millions of dollars in cash at strip clubs, but not help families affected in the garbage show?!" Speechless. ”
There have been more than 100 lawsuits against Scott, Drake and festival sponsor LiveNation. According to the latest report from CNN, the number of deaths in this stampede has risen to 10, and a 9-year-old boy died of his injuries on the 14th local time. Previously, eight people died on the night of the stampede at the music festival, and a 22-year-old college student died of serious injuries on the 10th. (Editor: HHJ)
