Rapper Drake has been charged with USD 13,000 for crossing the time limit of the concert at his show in Texas.
The 29-year-old took the stage long after his scheduled start time at Dallas and hence ended the show later than the usual timimgs, leaving around 12:35 am according to the local time, reported Contactmusic.
The venue head imposed a strict cut-off time of midnight for all concerts, therefore the "One Dance" star has to pay thousands of dollars for crossing the limit.
The venue officials fined him with USD 6,500 for every 15 minutes he played after 12 am but Drake apparently didn't care much as he told the croud that he was going over the time on order to give fans a full set, and had no worries about paying the fine.
