Chicago Firefighter Awarded Car and $25,000 as Part of Drake’s ‘Drizzmas Giveaway’
A Heartwarming Moment of Kindness
On Thursday, rapper Drake returned to his acting roots for perhaps his most meaningful role yet: Santa Claus. Hosting the online “Drizzmas Giveaway” with Kick streamer Adin Ross, the star doled out hundreds of thousands of dollars, concert tickets, vacations, and other gifts to several lucky fans, including a Chicago firefighter.
A Special Surprise for a Hero
Broadcasting live from his Kick account, the Canadian emcee first surprised the firefighter, identified as “Ryan,” with a video call. Then, he delivered even more good news: He was giving him a car and $25,000.
A Emotional Reaction
“Don’t tell me that, Drake,” said the firefighter and father of three, who was visibly emotional. “Thank you so much, man.” Drake, aka “Drizzy,” called the firefighter a hero.
A Heartfelt Message
“What you’re doing for your family is amazing,” the rapper said. The Chicago Fire Department did not immediately respond to a Sun-Times request to confirm the firefighter’s identity.
A Story of Struggle and Gratitude
The firefighter wrote a heartfelt message explaining why he deserved to win. He said he was struggling financially and falling behind on car payments. “As much as I would love a vacation for two or your concert for two, my children come first,” he wrote. “I hope my submission is considered, but as a Drake fan, I think it’s great that you do this, and your fans like my wife and myself respect you for doing so.”
