It turns out it doesn't cost an exorbitant amount of money to get a shoutout from your favorite artist.
When it comes to supporting a good cause or expressing appreciation for influencers or high-profile individuals who produce good work, no donation is too great or too small.
At least that is often a tagline kicked around to encourage people to give, regardless of the amount.
Rapper Drake was certainly appreciative of one fan who gave him a 20-cent tip during a livestream.
The Canadian rapper, who is among one of the world's best-selling music artists and certainly doesn't need extra cash, was hosting a kick.com livestream on December 17 when he noticed an alert indicating he received a tip.
Without hesitation, Drake expressed gratitude, saying:
"Thank you for the 20-cent tip, [donator’s username], appreciate that."
He added:
"That’ll go to a good cause.”
Fans were amused by the tip's random amount.
Drake gained prominence as an actor, starring in "Degrassi: The Next Generation" before successfully crossing over into music in 2006 with his mixtape Room for Improvement.
His albums have topped the US Billboard 200 and Canadian Albums Charts, and he is the recipient of five Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, a record 34 Billboard Music Awards, two Brit Awards, and three Juno Awards.
In addition to his music career, the "Rich Baby Daddy" rapper's other ventures include founding the OVO Sound record label, becoming the "global ambassador" of the Canadian pro basketball team, Toronto Raptors, and collaborating with Brent Hocking on the bourbon whiskey Virginia Black.
Drake's estimated net worth is $270 million, and his annual salary is reportedly $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
