KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI -- Two Kansas Citians are saying âWeâll Be Fineâ after attending one of Drakeâs concerts at the T-Mobile Center. Bebe Gist and Jaime Jimenez say the rapper gave them a new meaning to life with a promise of US$20,000 Sunday.
âWe are still shocked. It does not feel real,â Gist said.
After learning Drake helped several fans during his âItâs All a Blur Tour- Big As the Whatâ, the couple decided to create a poster that said, âExpecting our 1st baby in August.â
In the âHeat of the Momentâ, with the help of surrounding fans, Drake noticed the couple.
âYouâre about to be a dad?â Drake asked Jimenez. âWell, I donât know what you need for your babyâprobably like a nice crib, stroller, probably take your girl on a nice vacation. Iâm going to give you US$20,000.â
The couple automatically felt âFireworks.â
âThe fact that we didnât even know that we could have a kid,â Jimenez said. âNow, not only is she a blessing but she also blessed us and helped us financially. She knew that her parents were stressed.â
Gist and Jimenez already have plans for the money.
âWe have some debt that we have accrued, and our goal was to have the debt paid off in time for the baby,â Jimenez explained. âSo, weâre going to take the money and literally put it all toward debt.â
To thank Drake, the future parents will name their baby June Aubrey Jimenez, a nod to the rapperâs birth name Aubrey.
âWe can just show her the videos and be like, âThatâs why we chose Aubrey,ââ Jimenez said. ââYouâre our little angel from above.ââ
âItâs just crazy how much heâs blessed us. Weâre so appreciative of it,â Gist said.
