Drake, The Weeknd, & J. Cole FaceTimed a Young Fan Before He Died Of Cancer

Drake, The Weeknd, and J. Cole all FaceTimed with an 11-year-old fan, Elijah, before he sadly passed away due to cancer.

Elijah‘s older cousin posted videos on Instagram of the trio all chatting with Elijah on individual FaceTime calls.

“I’m so honored to be one of your favorite artists, buddy,” The Weeknd said during his call. “Thank you.”

“Over the past 3 years, my 11 y.o. cousin, Elijah, has battled cancer with the utmost resilience,” Elijah‘s cousin wrote. “Elijah‘s physical fight is now complete, as he transitioned to heaven on Friday. He didn’t leave this world without knowing how much he was loved though.”

He continued, “Last weekend, Elijah got to ‘meet’ 3 of his favorite artists — The Weeknd, J. Cole, & Drake. Incredibly grateful for these 3 super-humans being so caring for my family during this time. We’ll hold onto these moments forever.”

“A special thank you to the angels, Kathryn & Krystal for helping make this happen in such a short time,” he added. “Please lift Kiara, Elijah‘s mom, and the rest of the fam up in your thoughts & prayers. In a time where there seems like so much is out of our control, one thing that we all have the power to give + show others is LOVE. 2 Corinthians 5:8.”

Elijah‘s mom also wrote, “I just want to say a huge Thank you to @realcoleworld @theweeknd @champagnepapi & @joeylogano for showing my baby some love these last difficult days of his life. I truly appreciate you all. #elijahstrong #f–kchildhoodcancer🎗.”

Elijah received a video message from professional race car driver Joey Logano as well.
