He’s also been busy helping out some young fans along the way…

Drizzy Drake has put pedal to the metal as he attempts to come out on the winning end of his album showdown with Kanye West, the Toronto Don unveiling the slightly confusing album art for Certified Lover Boy, designed by the one and only Damien Hirst.

For those not familiar with old mate, he’s worth an estimated $400 million – $700 million and is something of a megastar in the art world. Renowned for his exploration of the relationships between art, religion, science (basically every topic that you’d find in an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience), he’s crafted works that have been elevated to that of icon status in the art sphere.

Anyway, Drizzy got that very artist to jump on board for Certified Lover Boy, and well, it’s unique to say the least. The cover features 12 “Pregnant Woman” emojis in various skin tones and shirt colours, an illustration that’s being compared to Hirst’s famous spot paintings along with his sculpture The Virgin Mother.

Aside from the Certified Lover Boy rollout however, Drake’s been on his ‘God’s Plan’ wavelength, using his many millions to help out some of his fans as of late. The latest recipient of his charity includes an Instagram user by the name of @rocketrob_90 and his sister Dora, with the ‘Emotionless’ rapper donating them a brand-new wheelchair-accessible van.

Posting online, Rocketrob (do I refer to him as Rocket or Rob?) wrote “God is good. This has been a wild year, to say the least. My sister, Dora, was gifted a 2021 Dodge Pro Master wheelchair conversion van by @champagnepapi!
Those that know me, know he’s my favorite rapper/artist of all time. He has been a HUGE blessing for me and my family. Glad to call him brother and friend.

“I don’t have to use the pickup truck to take her to her appointments anymore. We can all ride comfortably, especially Dora, to her doctor appts with little effort. This has changed our lives for the better.”

And crazily enough, Drizzy replied, commenting “Love my g love to the family!!! Big wheels keep rolling!!!”

Big ups to Drizzy. It seems in terms of morals and just being an overall decent human being, he’s well ahead of Kanye at the moment. Whether Certified Lover Boy will follow suit remains to be seen, but we’re sure to have all of the answers come September 3 when the album is released. Check out his latest good deed below.
