DETROIT (WWJ) - Rapper, singer, and songwriter Drake was determined to finish his set during his "It's All A Blur" Tour in Detroit on Saturday -- and he reportedly coughed up a hefty fine to do it.
As reported by Vibe, the 36-year-old superstar addressed the crowd at Little Caesars Arena, telling fans he would willingly shell out the $10,000-a-minute penalty to stay in the building past curfew.
“I don’t give a f--k. We’re doing this whole song, let’s go," he stated.
Drake then went on to play for 23 minutes, amassing a reported fine of $230,000.
The rapper also announced at his Detroit show that he is releasing a new album "For All The Dogs" that will include a track featuring Nicki Minaj. It will be the duo's first collaboration in years, Vibe reported.
“I’m gonna give away one thing for you tonight, because I got a lot of love for Detroit,” he began. “So I’m gonna have to tell you that me and Nicki Minaj did our first song together in, like, a really long time. I got a lot of love for her."
Drake is eight days into the massive 56-date "It's All a Blur" tour that is co-headlined by Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage in support of their 2022 collaborative album "Her Loss."
According to the tour's website, the tour began in Chicago on July 5 and will run across the U.S. and Canada before concluding on Oct. 9 in Columbus, Ohio.
