Drake gives $1 million music video budget away

Canadian musician Drake spent a near $1 million budget for his God’s Plan music video to individuals and organisations across Miami.

A women’s shelter, firefighters and shoppers in a supermarket are among those who received cash from the RnB star who reveals his plan in the opening titles of the six-minute video released on Friday.

‘The budget for this video was 996,631.90 dollars. We gave it all away. Don’t tell the label,’ it reads before footage of the singer visiting organisations across the US state.

It comes less than a fortnight after students at the University of Miami and the High School shared dozens of clips of the Toronto-born musician donating funds during filming for the video.

Shown sporting a Martin Luther King t-shirt in photos and video clips, he also announced he would be designing a new uniform for the high school.
