Drake makes surprise stop at Miami store to buy groceries for customers

Tags : 

Rapper and singer Drake is dropping a ton of money while in Miami, but he’s not spending it on material things. The 31-year-old Toronto native made a surprise visit to a Miami supermarket Tuesday.

The group of shoppers inside knew the star was there, but did not know what was coming next. Customers at Sabor Tropical say Drake got on a megaphone and announced that he was paying for everyone’s groceries.

He reportedly spent $50,000 and also stopped to take photos with shoppers and the owner of the store.

“A real king when [sic] out and paid for everyone’s groceries in the store, all the while encouraging people to buy more,” shopper Guille Deza captioned a photo he took with Drake which was posted on Instagram.

Deza said people in the store were under the impression that Drake was filming the good deed for an upcoming music video for his song “God’s Plan,” E! News reports.

Another excited customer took to social media to document the encounter:

This was not the only kind act the rapper did while in Miami this week. On Monday, he surprised a student at the University of Miami with a $50,000 scholarship to the school.

He delivered the good news by arriving on campus with a giant check paid to the order of University of Miami Scholarship. He also took photos with the excited scholarship recipient, Destiny James.

The university marked the occasion by posting a tweet Wednesday thanking Drake’s generosity and wishing James a bright future:

Drake’s philanthropy did not stop there. He also visited Miami Senior High School and brought with him a $25,000 donation. Drake’s apparel company, OVO (October’s Very Own), designed new uniforms for the school.

For the first time, boat enthusiasts can buy one ticket and attend both the Miami International Boat Show in Virginia Key and the Miami Yacht Show in Miami Beach.

In its first year under new producer Informa, the Miami Yacht Show announced a partnership with the National Marine Manufacturers Association’s Miami International Boat Show, which both take place during Presidents Day weekend.

Attendees can pay $50 a day to go to both shows and use a bus route between Collins Avenue and Virginia Key that will run daily Feb. 15-19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. as part of the partnership.

This is one of the most well-known boat show weekends in the world, with many things to see and do for yachting and boating enthusiasts,” said Mary Bender, vice president of marketing for Informa, the Miami Yacht Show’s producer and co-owner. “The joint ticket is one of this year’s many enhancements designed to deliver the ultimate in enjoyment and convenience for our guests.”

Informa last year acquired Show Management, the longtime producer of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Palm Beach International Boat Show and Miami Yacht Show, for $133 million. Informa has been investing millions of dollars to upgrade the shows, which bring an influx of dollars and tourists to South Florida.
