Although he’s currently overseas, Drake recently expressed his concern over the deadly flooding in Houston, Texas.
Earlier Monday (August 28), Drake shared a lengthy post on Instagram about the devastation taking place in his second home. He also revealed his plans to take action by working with relief groups to provide aid for those in need.
Drake added that DJ/producer/OVO member Future The Prince will also be lending a helping hand.
“We are currently overseas in London and all I can think about is how devastated I am as I look at images of the damage Hurricane Harvey has caused,” Drake wrote in the caption to a photo of the Lone Star State. “I am praying for the safety of all those affected. Houston has truly been a home to me over the last 8 years.
“Myself and @futuretheprince are working with local relief groups to aid and assist the people of Texas in anyway we can and in the most immediate way possible,” he added. “I also want to thank all the men and women of service and volunteers for their courageous efforts to help people in need. I encourage everyone to do what they can to assist the people of Texas knowing whatever effort you can make to help will go a long way.”
The rapper also shared emergency information for anyone in need of immediate assistance:
After Harvey made landfall on Friday (August 25), some areas in Houston reported as much as 20 inches of rain.
As of Monday (August 28), six people have died due to flooding in the city, with that number expected to rise. Additionally, thousands of residents have been displaced from their homes.
Weather reports for Houston are calling for more rain throughout the week and warning of flash floods.
