Last night (July 20), Drake took to Instagram to pay his respects to a fan who recently passed away.

17-year-old Jamal Otton from the U.K. sadly passed away while on a rugby tour in Vancouver, Canada last week, according to The Independent.

Knowing how much of a huge Drake fan Jamal was, family, friends and fans used the hashtag #DrakeNoticeJamal to get the rapper’s attention.

After catching wind of the trend on social media, Drake posted a portrait of Jamal with the caption: “Heard this young man was a big fan. Rest In Peace Jamal. Watch over me from way up above!”
