Drake dropped $1m at strip club the night after Astroworld festival tragedy
Deleted social media videos reveal what rapper Drake did in a strip club the night after the Astroworld Festival tragedy.
One day after rapper Drake performed at the tragic Astroworld festival in Houston – during which nine people were trampled to death – he has been seen at a strip club, according to social media.
He was apparently drowning his sorrows by showering strippers with money, Page Six reports.
The Canadian rapper left about $US1 million ($A1.37 million) on the floor of the Area 29 strip club in Houston, according to Toronto’s BlogTo.
Ecstatic women are seen scooping up the cash in a November 9 social media video posted by the rapper’s friend, DJ Akademiks. When a man prompted them to say, “Thanks, Drake,” all said in unison: “Thanks Drake!”
A since-deleted post from the club obtained by The Sun also noted Drake’s presence, citing his Instagram handle @champagnepapi.
“Thank u @champagnepapi @roddyricch @dontoliver @ubk.ent @lira_galore @realberniceburgos @realamarie @kayykilo @turkeyleghut @bookedbymolo last night vibes was on point GRAND FINALE TONIGHT SUNDAY FUNDAY,” the club wrote.
It took Drake three days to issue his first public remarks on the “devastating tragedy” at Scott’s Astroworld Festival.
“I’ve spent the past few days trying to wrap my mind around this devastating tragedy,” he wrote on Instagram alongside an image of himself on his knees praying.
Travis Scott, who also performed at the Scott’s Astroworld Festival, was said to have been in tears and laying low with Kylie Jenner, who is expecting her second child with Scott.
Drake is a regular at the club and is believed to have also visited in the days before the tragedy.
More than 100 lawsuits have already been filed against Scott, Drake and concert promoter LiveNation.
Drake’s representative did not respond to The Sun for comment.
