Drake stepped in to help a female fan at his concert in LA on Saturday after a fight broke out over a sweaty towel he threw into the audience.
The 36-year-old rapper walked backstage at the Kia Forum after his performance and wiped his face with a towel.
He greeted his fans and threw the towel at a woman in the crowd, who successfully caught it.
A man next to her then tried to forcefully wrestle it away from her, which was spotted by Drake.

Furious, he yells at the man, “Are you stupid?” before saying to the woman, “I’m sending someone there.”
It comes after Drake revealed that the show was almost canceled after production issues.
When he took the stage, he explained to the audience that there were problems setting up his elaborate stage and his crew recommended that the concert be cancelled.
However, the One Dance singer insisted they sort it out so he wouldn’t have to cancel due to the packed audience.
And it’s a good thing the show happened when Drake’s five-year-old son Adonis was at the stadium to see his dad perform for the first time.
Drake warned the audience not to throw their bras on stage as he revealed that Adonis was watching.
He said: ‘I can’t talk about t***ies tonight in LA because my son is on the show for the very first time.’
He added, “So we need to keep this real PG tonight. You keep your bras on.’

He added that the City of Angels has a special place in his heart and he didn’t want to let his LA fans down.
