Drake is once again teaming up with online crypto casino Stake to continue his recent streak of big giveaways — except now he’s upping the stakes to seven figures.
On Thursday (August 6), Stake announced it would be teaming up with Drizzy to give away "over $1,000,000” during a livestream on Saturday (August 8) at 9 P.M. ET, via the rapper’s Kick account.
The announcement came just two days after Drizzy held his third annual Strong Women, Stronger Drinks event at Casa Loma in Toronto on Tuesday (August 4).
At that event, Drake surprised 10 attendees with $50,000 each, for a total payout of $500,000 in cash and luxury vehicles, including a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon. Every woman in attendance received $1,000 cash.
The origins of Strong Women, Stronger Drinks goes back to an event that the Iceman rapper attended around 2008, called What Women Want. That event, along with its affiliated social network, were created by Toronto marketing professional Shannae Ingleton Smith.
"It was essentially women gathering to network, to socialize. To be a man at the event, you had to work," Drake explained. “I always loved that aspect of it. We would show up and work the event because that’s what the event was about."
