Drake turned Casa Loma in Toronto into a prize-giving ceremony on Tuesday, 4 August, as his third annual Strong Women, Stronger Drinks event saw over $1 million worth of gifts handed out to women in attendance.
Ten women each received $50,000 in cash, while six others took home $100,000 apiece. Beyond the cash, guests left with luxury items including a 2026 Mercedes-Maybach and a Range Rover.

According to DJ Akademiks, the recipients were selected at random and included a mix of media personalities and influencers.
The Canadian rapper personally handed out the gifts on the night, delivering a characteristically unfiltered message to the women receiving the $50,000 bundles.
"Congratulations! F**king use it for whatever you need, you know!" Drake said as he distributed the cash.
Drake's Record-Breaking Year
The event arrives at a career high point for the Toronto artist. Just days before the Casa Loma gathering, Drake was photographed back in the recording studio, prompting speculation about upcoming music despite having only released a three-album bundle, Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour, less than three months ago.
The three projects debuted at numbers one, two and three on the Billboard 200 chart simultaneously, making Drake the first artist to accomplish that feat since the chart began publishing weekly in March 1956.
The achievement also pushed his total count of number one albums to 15, overtaking Jay-Z's record of 14 and drawing level with Taylor Swift for the most number ones among solo artists. Only The Beatles, with 19 chart-topping albums, stand ahead of him.
