Drake released his music video for "God's Plan" Friday afternoon, and it features Steelers receiver Antonio Brown in various parts.

The music video as a whole has a great message attached to it. In the openening scenes it starts off by saying, "The budget for this video was $996,631.90. We gave it all away. Don't tell the label." And throughout the video, Drake is seen giving away money to people in need.

The part featuring Brown was no exception to the generous nature of the film. As the Miami Herald documented, Drake found out about a maid named Odalie Paret. She's a mother of five who wakes up at 4:30 a.m. to begin her daily commute to work, which can take up to four hours because of the poor transportation system in Miami-Dade County.

Via the Miami Herald:

After dinner, a car was waiting to take Paret and a friend to Brickell City Centre, where they waited until the shopping center closed. It was there, standing before Saks Fifth Avenue, that a hand touched her shoulder. It belonged to Drake. ...

Paret said Drake and Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who grew up in Miami and attended Miami Norland High School, arranged for a shopping spree for her and two other local women.

Brown and Drake's crew documented some of the behind-the-scenes moments of the charitable event.
