Drake attends a game between the Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers at Toyota Center on March 16, 2024 in Houston, Texas.
The 6 God is for the people.
Drake turned a dream into a reality for a longtime fan over the weekend. Drizzy hopped on TikTok Live with a fan and made sure to show his appreciation for her support throughout his career.
Taking inspiration from Drake’s Champagnepapi Instagram alias, the fan, Abi, goes by Champagnemamiabi on TikTok. No, Drake isn’t on TikTok, but he joined her livestream through a friend’s account while he was hanging out with them on Sunday (July 5).
Abi was stunned to see Drake in the flesh on her TikTok Live. “I respect you, always showing love. Been riding,” Drizzy said. “I wanted to say hello.”
Left speechless, Abi called the 6 God her “goat” and urged viewers to screen-record the video so she could relive the moment. “I’d give you a hug right now,” she added.
Drake replied before signing off: “It’s love. I just want to tell you thank you for always riding, you know. Much love, nice to meet you finally.”
Abi still couldn’t believe what took place, as she remained on Live in the minutes after Drizzy dipped out. “Oh my f–king God, guys. I’m gonna cry,” she said.
Drake is no stranger to making core memories for his fans. Following the release of the Billboard 200-topping ICEMAN in May, the OVO rapper headed to upstate New York to meet up with NYFlavaaa, who gained a following singing along to Drizzy anthems with his family after picking up his children from school.
NYFlavaaa’s daughter was treated to the surprise of a lifetime when she hopped in the car and noticed Drake in the backseat, as the family went right into belting out the lyrics to Drizzy’s “Janice STFU,” which debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100. Drake went a step further, gifting the family a brand new Escalade SUV.
In other Drake news, the 6 God took in some 2026 FIFA World Cup action as Toronto hosted Croatia and Portugal on Thursday (July 2). Drake made sure to link up with soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo after Portugal’s 2-1 victory, during which he playfully swore they were the same height in snaps shared to Instagram. (The photo clearly showed the athlete towering over the musician.)
