Drake transformed a Toronto celebration into an unforgettable night, giving away more than $1 million in cash, luxury cars and designer gifts.
Drake turned generosity into the headline as the rapper reportedly gave away more than $1 million in cash, luxury vehicles and designer handbags during his annual Strong Women, Stronger Drinks event in Toronto.
The private gathering took place Tuesday (Aug. 4) at Toronto’s Casa Loma, where the superstar hosted the third edition of the celebration honoring women. According to multiple reports and videos shared online, attendees left with life changing prizes that ranged from cash awards to high end automobiles.
Ten women each received $50,000 while six others walked away with $100,000. Other guests were surprised with luxury gifts that reportedly included a 2026 Mercedes Maybach, a Range Rover and Birkin handbags.
Video clips from the event show Drake personally presenting many of the prizes and congratulating the winners as the crowd cheered.

“Congratulations! F**king use it for whatever you need, you know!” Drake told the 10 women who each received $50,000.
Apparently, the recipients were selected at random and included influencers as well as women working in media. While the event has become an annual tradition for Drake, this year’s giveaway appeared to be his biggest yet based on the reported value of the prizes.
The celebration comes during another dominant stretch in Drake’s career. Just days before the event, he posted a photo from inside a recording studio, hinting that new music could already be on the way despite releasing a trio of albums less than three months ago.
Those projects, Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour, debuted at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 on the Billboard 200, giving Drake one of the most remarkable chart performances in modern music history.
The feat made him the first artist to simultaneously occupy the top three positions on the Billboard 200 since the chart began publishing weekly.
It also pushed his career total to 15 No. 1 albums, moving him past JAY-Z’s previous mark of 14 and tying Taylor Swift for the most chart topping albums by a solo artist.
Only The Beatles remain ahead with 19 No. 1 albums.
