Rapper and actor Aubrey Drake Graham reportedly opened up to his fans about his career and personhood during his Amsterdam concert on July 30. The moment made waves on the internet and seemingly appeared to be a token of appreciation towards his fans. He paused for a moment and noted that he doesn't want to be "preachy." He said,

“Never give up, keep going. I didn't get here by being a piece of shit, I didn't get here by being a snake…I got here by being good to people, being nice to people, and my karma is straight. That's why I'm still on stage in 2025."

The singer is scheduled to perform for two more nights at Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on July 31 and August 2.
