Sally posted the video on TikTok in which Drizzy was seen revealing the gender. The first shot of the video featured Sally and her friend holding a placard in front of the venue that stated:

This week, Canadian artist Drake gave concertgoer Sally Soumaya extra attention on stage on Wednesday night at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena. Drizzy partook in her gender reveal announcement as Sally passed a piece of paper with the baby's gender on it. He opened the paper and announced that the expectant mother will be giving birth to a boy.

The musician also disclosed that he would be providing the new mother with a significant financial advantage. Uploading the same TikTok video and captioning it, Sally revealed that the experience would live long in her memory. She wrote:

“I will never recover from this! Drake does my baby's gender reveal.”

Meanwhile, Drake further made headlines on February 9. When playing in Melbourne, he subtly altered the lyrics of his Certified Lover Boy song Knife Talk, implying that he was still alive and well, and his beef with Kendrick Lamar was still on. During the Knife Talk performance, he sang:

“Beef is live, spoiler alert, I never died."

The song's original lyrics state:

"Beef is live, spoiler alert, this ni*ga dies."

This happened after Kendrick Lamar performed his song Not Like Us during the February 9 Super Bowl Halftime Show. For the unversed, Lamar's song Not Like Us was the reason behind Drizzy's defamation lawsuit against UMG, where the latter claimed that UMG promoted Lamar's diss song against him as part of a plot to harm his reputation.
