Drake's good deeds continue!
The 31-year-old rapper surprised Miami maid Odelie Paret with a shopping spree at Saks Fifth Avenue last week, according to The Miami Herald. Drake was inspired to treat Paret after reading a story in the paper detailing her torturous daily commute of up to four hours a day by bus from her home in Opa-Locka apartment to the Fontainebleau resort.
Paret, who has worked at the resort for two decades after moving to Florida with her family from Haiti, ended her 14-room-a-day cleaning shift on Feb. 6 with a massage at the Fontainbealu's spa, before enjoying a lobster at StripSteak by Michael Mina. After dinner, a car was waiting to take Paret and a friend to Brickell City Centre, where she was surprised by Drake -- and a shopping spree at Saks.
"I always just saw him on the TV. So I said, ‘Drake!'" Paret told on Tuesday. “It made me happy. ... I thank him so much.”
Paret was given 45 minutes after the store closed for the night to pick out whatever she wanted, and walked away with about $10,000 in shoes, perfumes and a Valentino handbag.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who grew up in Miami, helped arrange the surprise and documented the event on social media.
