The Hotline Bling hit maker made the massive order just minutes before he was scheduled to perform in Melbourne. This is exactly what he got.

Superstar Drake racked up an eye-watering fastfood bill to feed himself and his entourage ahead of his first concert in Melbourne.

The Hotline Bling hit maker headlined a show in Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Sunday.

But before he hit the stage, he made the massive order Nandos, totalling $2651.

It was placed just two minutes before the 38-year-old rapper was scheduled to go on stage.

According to the receipt obtained by NewsWire, the gigantic bill included 60 PERinaise classic chicken wraps ($717), 20 Seriously Large PERi-PERi chips ($199), 15 whole chickens ($374.25) and almost 30 condiments ($156.40).

Other items included 30 garden salads, 8 sets of ribs and 30 orders of spicy rice.

The total spend is almost double the record set by Post Malone where the American rapper spent $1527.45 at Nando’s in Footscray, Melbourne during his tour in December 2023.

Drake’s Australia shows have made headlines in the past few days, with the hit maker announcing random cash gifts to unsuspecting fans in the crowd.

Last night, he gifted $45,000 to two women whose signs caught his attention during the concert.

The first, whose sign read ‘Adonis for President,’ was called out by the hit maker for “showing a lot of a love” to his son.

“On behalf of me and Adonis … we’re going to give you 25-grand,” he said in a video uploaded to social media.

Another $20,000 was handed out to a woman who requested a birthday kiss that night, while $40,000 had been given to two couples during shows in Perth on February 4 and 5.

The rapper’s generous acts in Australia have played out against an escalation in his lengthy battle with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar in recent days.

Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, is bringing legal action against the Pulitzer Prize-winning artist.

The lawsuit accuses Universal Music Group and Spotify of an alleged scheme to “artificially inflate” the plays of Lamar’s five-time Grammy-winning diss track, ‘Not Like Us.’
