Drake left some McDonald’s employees with a nice tip, but it may not be as much as previously reported.
Some media outlets reported on Wednesday that the 32-year-old rapper had given out $20,000 in tips to two McDonald’s employees in Los Angeles, but according to CNN reporter Chloe Melas, McDonald’s representatives said Drake actually gave $100 each to the two employees .
The initial report stemmed from tweets shared by Twitter user @imajnoel .
He tweeted on Saturday that he saw Drake in a McDonald’sand witnessed him giving $10,000 in cash each to two female employees.
He also shared a photo of Drake in a McDonald’s.
Drake also shared a photo of himself at a McDonald’s that appears to be from the same time.
Despite the CNN reporter’s tweet, the witness is still sticking to his story.
“Since y’all want to believe a certain individual (who wasn’t there) who apparently contacted a McDonald’s ‘PR team’ (who also wasn’t there) this didnt happen inside,” he tweeted. “[Drake] came through the drive-thru first and only came inside (with his security guards) to use the bathroom.”
He added: “One of the employees (who I know since I visit that particular location often) turned to me as he and his security guards walked in (after going through the drive-thru) and whispered what just happened as the other female employee started crying hysterically in the back.”
Representatives for McDonald’s and Drake didn’t immediately respond to INSIDER’s request for comment.
The rapper has been generous with his money before. He gave away the entire $996,631.90 budget of his new ” God’s Plan” music video to Miami citizens.
The video shows Drake passing out oversized checks and groceries to a number of people. The Miami Herald reportedthat Drake donated $25,000 to a Miami high school and $50,000 to a University of Miami student .
Drake isn’t the only celebrity know to have left a large tip. Chrissy Teigen once left a $1,000 tip on a $193.81 meal at Outback Steakhouse, Jay-Z spent $250,000 on champagne for the “Watch the Throne” release party and added a $50,000 tip back in 2011, and in 2018, ” Game of Thrones ” actorKit Harington returned to a bar he was kicked out of for drunken behavior and left a 100% tip.
