It was a huge surprise, Drake told me that he had read great things about me and that he was very impressed by what I had endured, so he decided to give me $ 50,000 to pay my bills. studies, “she explained on Instagram, sharing a photo of her with the rapper.
Drake was in Florida to shoot the clip of his piece “God’s Plan” in a school. After giving the check to Destiny, he invited the girl on the set.
“My new Drake favorite is God’s Plan. I always thought God had a project. It’s amazing that I’ve always loved this piece without knowing that I was going to end up in the clip!
