Drake Surprises Expectant Fan With Gender Reveal and $50K Gift at Melbourne Show: ‘I Will Never Recover From This’

Drake Grants Fan’s Gender Reveal Wish—Plus a $50K Surprise—During Melbourne Concert

Canadian superstar Drake, 38, made an Australian fan’s dream come true by hosting her baby’s gender reveal onstage at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena this week. Sally Soumaya, a pregnant concertgoer, captured the viral moment on TikTok, showing Drake reading a note to announce she’s expecting a boy—and gifting her $50,000 AUD.

A Night to Remember
Sally and a friend arrived at the concert holding a sign: “Do my gender reveal.” Drake spotted the request mid-show, calling Sally out and declaring, “This is life-changing!” After reading the note confirming a “mini Drake” was on the way, he stunned the crowd by adding, “Sally’s getting $50,000 AUD from me.” The ecstatic mom-to-be later posted the clip with the caption, “I will never recover from this!”

Fans flooded the comments, urging her to name the baby after Drake (real name: Aubrey Drake Graham). “His middle name gotta be Drake,” one wrote. Another joked, “Generational fumble if you don’t name him Aubrey.”

Drake’s Lucky Streak Down Under
The rapper’s Aussie tour has been marked by high stakes and generosity. Earlier, DJ Gordo—part of Drake’s entourage—shared a clip of the star celebrating a rumored $700,000 win at Melbourne’s Crown Casino. In the video, Drake dances in an elevator, clutching stacks of casino chips. He later deleted a cheeky post showing his lap covered in $25,000 tokens, captioned, “Melbourne giving me the welcome back pack.”

Feasting in Style
Drake hasn’t shied away from splurging on tour. After his Melbourne show, he treated his crew to a lavish $2,651 Nando’s feast, including 60 chicken pitas, 15 “extra hot” whole chickens, and 30 salads. The receipt, obtained by Daily Mail Australia, also listed ribs, spicy rice, and Portuguese tarts.

The rapper has also dined at luxury spots like Nobu and Maison Bâtard, cementing his rep as a high-roller both on and offstage.

Fan Reactions
Social media erupted over Sally’s gender reveal. “Can’t wait to meet baby Drake! Most insane experience,” a fan commented. Others praised Drake’s generosity, calling it a “core memory” moment.
