Drake is under fire for handing out $50K to fan during concert INSTAGRAM: CHAMPAGNEPAPIDrake is receiving backlash after he gifted a concert goer $50,000 cash, with some users online noting how, while a kind gesture, the recipient will ultimately have to pay tax on the money and that it may be much more complicated for them than simply accepting the offering. During a recent concert, Drake went viral after he appeared to offer a fan $50,000 in cold hard cash. Drake did so after reading out a sign from that fan that revealed his girlfriend had broken up with him. \u201cI\u2019ma give you 50 bands, so you gon\u2019 flex on her tonight\u2026 f*ck that young lady.\u201d Drake, one of the most popular and renowned musicians of the generation, said. And while many thought the gesture was kind, others have taken issue with it. Noting the problems that could come from giving someone that much money. On Twitter, a user shared the clip, captioning it \u201cDrake creates tax nightmare for total strangers.\u201d Another user wrote, \u201cIt delights me to no end that the only people I\u2019ve seen even talk about this story, myself included, have focused solely on the tax implications. Really drives home how well I\u2019ve curated my feed.\u201d Others also took issue with the fact that Drake\u2019s gift was a showcase of his wealth and, while generous, an example of how celebrities don\u2019t value money. \u201cNot to mention announcing to an entire arena of people that you\u2019re carrying $50K in cash,\u201d wrote another Twitter user.
