Drake Scores Huge Payout, Sends Kanye West Packing W/ $1 Mil Asking Show Fee

Young Money's Drake managed to earn a huge payout over the weekend by performing at a former television network executive's party as the replacement for Kanye West.

According to reports, Drizzy's New York City one-night weekend performance landed him a solid $250,000.

    Former NBC honcho Jeff Zucker threw a lavish bar mitzvah at the Four Seasons last night (May 7) for his son Andrew, with no expense spared -- except Kanye West's staggering $1 million demand to perform. The bash, costing well over an estimated $250,000, included a performance by rapper Drake, "tremendous" food and fine wines -- and customized Converse sneakers handed out as gifts to guests. "They went all out for this bash," a source told Page Six of the splashy shindig at the restaurant, which is a haunt of the city's power crowd. (New York Post)

Details on what the party's activities included have also been revealed.

    It also featured a photo booth, bracelet-making lounge and station to make customized phone covers. Customized Converse sneakers were handed out to guests as gifts. Among those in attendance were Katie Couric, who previously worked with Zucker on NBC's Today and is now developing a syndicated talk show with him. (Billboard)
