Rapper Drake went to a strip club a day after nine people were fatally-injured at Travis Scott's Astroworld concert in Houston.
In posts from last Saturday, which have been deleted by the club but continue to circulate online, dancers can be seen surrounded by cash at the Area 29 strip club in Houston.
The club's posts said the snaps had been taken on Saturday, with Instagram star DJ Akademics claiming Drake has blown $1m on exotic performers while there.
Instagram pictures also clearly show the floor of the club entirely covered in dollar bills.
The since deleted post by the club thanked @champagnepapi which is Drakes Instagram account. The posting read: 'Thank u @champagnepapi @roddyricch @dontoliver @ubk.ent @lira_galore @realberniceburgos @realamarie @kayykilo @turkeyleghut @bookedbymolo last night vibes was on point GRAND FINALE TONIGHT SUNDAY FUNDAY.'

The club wrote '2 floors covered with money and EVERY DANCER who worked last night went home happy thank y'all for the love and support WE RUNNING IT BACK 2 NIGHT ! @area29htx SUNDAY FUNDAY.'
In one now deleted clip seen earlier in the week, DJ Akademiks posted video of about nine dancers reveling as they count up their cash.
A man shouts: 'Say thanks Drake!'. 'Thanks Drake!' the women reply.
Drake is known to be a regular at the club and had visited the week before the tragedy, according to The Sun.
Drake and Scott are named in lawsuits surrounding the concerts which saw a ninth woman lose her life on Thursday.
Travis Scott faces new fury as it emerged that he went to an after-party with Drake after the deadly festival
'I've spent the past few days trying to wrap my mind around this devastating tragedy,' Drake posted on Instagram:
'My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering. I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in any way I can. May God be with you all.'
It's not believed Travis had been with Drake when he visited the club although the pair are believed to have visited a Dave & Buster's after party following the Astroworld concert.
The duo are said to have left upon hearing the seriousness of the situation at the concert.
'Over the last week, Travis Scott and his team have been actively exploring routes of connection with each and every family affected by the tragedy through the appropriate liaisons,' read a statement by Scott's team
'He is distraught by the situation and desperately wishes to share his condolences and provide aid to them as soon as possible, but wants to remain respectful of each family's wishes on how they'd best like to be connected.'
Bharti Shahani, a senior at Texas A&M, died on Thursday from injuries sustained at Astroworld
Bharti Shahani, a 22-year-old college student from Texas, became the ninth victim of the tragedy on Thursday.
She succumbed to her injuries sustained at last week's festival after being declared brain dead on Tuesday.
Distressing footage shot at the deadly event showed Shahani falling from a gurney while unconscious as Houston Police officers tried frantically to rescue her.
Eight other victims between the ages of 14 and 27 died. A nine-year-old boy still remains in hospital fighting for his life.
Travis Scott is being sued by at least 150 victims for 'inciting mayhem' and stands to lose 'billions' after more than 300 people were treated at an emergency field hospital in the aftermath, 11 others went into cardiac arrest and dozens more were knocked unconscious.
The rapper, who said he was 'devastated' about the deaths and couldn't 'imagine anything like this happening,' has been convicted twice for encouraging fans to jump security barriers and rush the stage at previous concerts.
Drake, 35, called it a 'devastating tragedy' in an Instagram post Sunday night, saying: 'My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering.
'I will continue to pray for all of them and will be of service in any way I can. May God be with you all.'
