“So, this is what I’m going to do: I’m going to pick the winning ticket out of this drum right here,” the hitmaker said, as members of his crew brought a raffle drum up on stage. “I want everybody to be super quiet. I want to hear the winner scream.”
After Drizzy turned the drum, reached his hand inside and dug around while the crowd cheered on, he declared the winner as “17482.” Eventually, he spotted the fan who was taking home the new vehicle in one of the upper levels of Scotiabank Arena.
He playfully said, “They got ‘em? They up top? You better bring your ass down here. We’re going to send somebody up there to check that ticket.”
It’s unclear which model of the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon the “Rich Flex” artist was raffling off, butaccording to Mercedes-Benz’s website, the basic model retails at $139,900.

I got some other things I need to do for some other people that I made promises to, but I probably won’t make music for a little bit. I’m gonna be real with you. I need to focus on my health first and foremost and I’ll talk about that soon enough.”
“Nothing crazy but just I want people to be healthy in life and I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach,” he added. “So I need to focus on my health and get right, and I’m going to do that.”
