Drake, The Weeknd & J. Cole FaceTimed An 11-Year-Old Cancer Patient Before He Died

An 11-year-old cancer patient named Elijah was virtually visited by his three favorite artists — Drake, J. Cole and The Weeknd — a week before he passed away. His cousin Michael Watson II confirmed the sad news on Instagram and shared clips Elijah’s FaceTime conversations with the three stars on Sunday (March 29).

“Over the past 3 years, my 11 y.o. cousin, Elijah, has battled cancer with the utmost resilience,” Watson 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. Last weekend, Elijah got to ‘meet’ 3 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.”

Over the past 3 years, my 11 y.o. cousin, Elijah, has battled cancer with the utmost resilience. 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. Last weekend, Elijah got to "meet" 3 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. Please lift Kiara, Elijah's mom, and the rest the fam up in your thoughts & prayers. In a time where there seems like so much is out our control, one thing that we all have the power to give + show others is LOVE. 2 Corinthians 5:8
