Drake Postponed Tour Date To Visit 11-Year-Old Awaiting Heart Transplant

A suburban Chicago girl awaiting a heart transplant has danced her way into a meeting with Drake.

The Canadian rapper visited 11-year-old Sofia Sanchez on Monday at the Lurie Children’s Hospital during his tour’s stop in Chicago. He shared photos on Instagram, saying they had talked about Justin Bieber and basketball.

Drake visited Sanchez after seeing the Downers Grove girl’s video version of his song, “In My Feelings,” which inspired a viral dance craze.

In her video, Sanchez dances in a hospital hallway while tethered to her IV pump, and she says she loves Drake’s music and asks if he can come cheer her up for her birthday. She turned 11 on Saturday.

When he pulled back the curtain dividing Sanchez’s hospital room, she was speechless. “Right when he came in I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ And I never pictured him that tall,” Sanchez said in a video produced by the hospital. “I didn’t talk for a minute. I was like, ‘Is this real or fake?'”

The video shows a stunned Sanchez, who eventually screams “Oh my God!” when she realizes it is, indeed, Drake. She then jumps out of her hospital bed and wraps him in a hug.
