Drake is the most successful rapper of our time. Charismatic and talented, Drake won a significant number of Grammy awards for his contribution to the development of modern hip-hop.
Childhood
In an African American family, the future hip-hop star was born on October 24, 1986, in Toronto. The boy’s father was a famous drummer. Drake had musical roots, so it is not surprising that he was interested in creativity, almost from the cradle.
Aubrey Drake Graham is the real name of the famous rapper. It is known that the boy’s father made a lot of effort so that his son had the opportunity to study music.
When Aubrey was very young, his parents decided to divorce. It is known that a few years after the divorce, Drake’s father went to prison.
Gambling Problems
Drake is one of the few celebrities who is actively involved in gambling. During his career, he had a lot of problems with that and a lot of casinos denied him entry. In addition, he also placed bets on the 20bet.com/ca/prematch/eSports platforms as well as in land-based establishments. Once he wagered $1 billion dollars in just a month!
Musical Career
The creative path did not begin with music. The fact is that Drake was friends with a guy whose father was involved in cinema. Aubrey’s school friend’s dad arranged a test for a black guy. After the audition, Aubrey landed his first role. Drake was supposed to play a failed basketball star based on the film.
As Drake himself admitted, he was not enthusiastic about filming the movie. His ambition and musical talent haunted him. He wanted to perform written songs. But there was no other choice at that time. Drake’s mother was very ill, and the young son was the only source of income.
Jay Z and hip-hop duo Clipse motivated Drake to leave his acting career and devote himself to rap. After the release of the record, Drake did not enjoy popularity, which, of course, upset him. But the rapper did not stop there. He continued to go with the flow, and soon another record came out.
