Drake took a breather during his Amsterdam show on Wednesday night (July 30) to give the audience some game when it comes to his thoughts on karma and how he’s been able to maintain longevity in music for nearly two decades.

“Never give up. Keep going, not even on some preachy s—t. This might be the moment that you need to hear it,” Drizzy relayed. “And the biggest thing I would say to you is I didn’t get here by being a piece of s—t. I didn’t get here by being a snake. I didn’t get here by being a dickhead. I got here by being good to people, being nice to people, and my karma is straight.”

He continued: “That’s why I’m still on stage in 2025. Trust me, and I appreciate you always supporting me, always being there for me. I love y’all. I don’t have no jokes tonight. I usually tell a joke or some s—t, but tonight it’s no jokes. It’s just love. I appreciate you so much.”

The 6 God finished his message of gratitude by teasing his upcoming album Iceman, which he is hard at work on. “I’m working on this album for y’all, Iceman,” he added. “We got a lot to talk about.”

At another point in the concert, Drake also revealed that his 7-year-old son, Adonis, was conceived in Amsterdam.

Wednesday night was the first of three Amsterdam shows for Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR on the $ome $pecial $hows 4 U.K. tour, which will head back to Manchester and then hit Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Italy and France.

It’s been a busy July for Drake, who has released a pair of singles to kick off the Iceman rollout. “What Did I Miss?” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while he joined forces with Central Cee for “Which One” last week.
