WATCH: Rapper Drake performs at girl’s batmitzvah
Drake wowed the crowds at a batmitzvah celebration in New York over the weekend.
The Hotline Bling star performed at The Rainbow Room in front of 400 guests, as part of lavish celebrations for 12-year-old Gigi Ashkenazy.
Canadian rapper Drake, whose mother is Jewish, also sang Summer Sixteen and a remix of Fetty Wap’s My Way.
According to TMZ, Drake charges upwards of $300,000 (£213,000) for private performances – a small drop in the ocean no doubt for Gig’s father, Ben, a billionaire real estate magnate.
