Drake has made headlines recently for renting out a club to relax all by himself. Not only that, he also had Sabrina Carpenter‘s music playing in the background. This is the latest development in the 38-year-old artist’s extravagant lifestyle. The “Hotline Bling” rapper abruptly postponed the remaining dates of his 2025 Anita Max Win Tour recently, sparking fan curiosity about his latest outings.
Drake rents out a club and plays Sabrina Carpenter’s songs
Drake rented out a club on Tuesday. As seen in online footage, he was sitting on a sofa and gambling on the website Stake, while also drinking a beverage. Moreover, while he was gambling, he had Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Espresso” playing in the background via loudspeakers.
Making Drake’s quality time all the more interesting was the fact that he used the nightclub’s three big screens to show off the gambling website. While gambling, Drake was shown winning several bets.
Social media was rife with mixed fan reactions. Many of them expressed sympathy for what they viewed as odd behavior on Drake’s part. Some even speculated if Drake’s behavior was all part of an act. Meanwhile, several commenters also criticized the rapper for using his wealth in what seemed to be a wasteful manner.
“I kind of feel sorry for him, this is not a flex, it’s a cry for help,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
“Is Drake having a mid-life crisis?” another fan wrote.
Some fans even brought up the influence Stake had on Drake.
However, some fans seemed supportive or understanding of Drake’s odd way of winding down and relaxing, even finding fun in it. “Idk what y’all say this looks fun as f—,” one fan posted.
Though some commenters have pointed to the behavior as odd, there is a precedent for wealthy people hiring out nightclubs for alone time like this.
In February 2025, internet personality Bobby Saptura rented out a nightclub supposedly to cope with the sadness he experienced after a breakup. While there, he also ate several of his brand’s burgers while passing the time.
