In a recent fan-captured TikTok video that quickly went viral, Canadian rapper Drake surprised his Los Angeles concert audience by walking on stage holding a pink Hermès Birkin bag.
The Grammy-winning artist appeared to be in the mood for giving as he playfully scanned the crowd, jokingly declaring, “Drake ain’t cheap!” before choosing a lucky person to receive the designer purse.
Amid the excited cheers of the crowd, Drake pointed to a particular individual in the audience, announcing, “This girl right here, yeah.”
The bag’s status is so esteemed that it boasts its own waitlist, making it an aspirational accessory for fashion enthusiasts and collectors.
The Hermès Birkin bag, which was created in honor of British actress Jane Birkin, is regarded as one of the most opulent and pricey purses in the industry.
Similar models can be purchased for between $10,000 and $30,000, with some variants going for over $400,000.

Drake’s affection for the Birkin bag is not new information; in a 2017 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the rapper confessed that he has a collection of the bags with the intention of gifting them all to “the woman I end up with.” This personal connection to the bags adds an extra layer of sentiment to his spontaneous act of generosity.
