Drake came to party in Miami with two giant lunch boxes full of cash

While much of the country is hurting for money as the pandemic drags on, Drake for one, is rolling in it.

The rapper, who’s been in town for business and pleasure, posted a picture of two cases stuffed with $100 bills, looking like a scene out of “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

The caption: “There’s a point in the ‘fake it til you make it’ theory where you actually gotta make it…”

On the side of the black, insulated cases reads “MacroPlate,” a high-end meal plan.

OK, we get the point, Champagne Papi: You’re rich, cash rich.

Why the Canadian singer, who is worth about $150 million, needed to show off his wads remains unclear, but we already know he’s a flashy sort.

Often when he flies in to Miami, we see his sky blue private plane with “AIR DRAKE” emblazoned across the engine and then rents out entire venues like Dave & Buster’s for parties.

Some commenters joked about the ridiculous amount of money: “Lemme borrow one of em bags in the 2nd slide. I’ll bring it back…”

Others seemed to get inspiration from the awe inspiring sight of that many Benjamins:

“Strong statement. Only the goats understand this.”

“Everybody else who personally saw how hard you worked from then until now look at this and literally laugh out loud with joy; we get it. You did that s--t. Transitioned seamlessly! So happy for you.”

Another person simply wrote: “Manifesting,” aka visualizing something so that it becomes reality.

Maybe he’ll give it away? Back in 2018, the hitmaker handed out almost $1 million to various locals while making his video for “God’s Plan” in Miami.
