Drake donated a heap of money—well, $25,000 to be exact, to help fund the “Drake and Mavado Peace Center” in Cassava Piece, Jamaica. Drizzy shot his video, “Find Your Love” on the island last April, but was panned by the tourism board for its imagery. He told local newspaper, The Jamaica Star:
“I had a great time when I was in Jamaica and the people of Cassava Piece showed me a lot of love. I just wanted to show back some love by helping out with Mavado’s project on the Gullyside. It’s a very positive move and something I am very happy to be a part of. Education is the key to life so to be able to assist in that process is very fulfilling.”
Big up! Mavdao, a Cassava Piece native said he was thankful for the donation.
“We’re grateful for his contribution, it’s a great gesture, he is not even a Jamaican, so for him to do dis and help build a foundation of knowledge and learning in our community is, yuh nuh, appreciated. Odda successful Jamaicans should tek a leaf out of Drake’s book and gi back to di communities from weh dem born and grow.
