Well, who doesn’t love Drake, right? Okay, maybe don’t answer that one. Still, he has a pretty huge fan base and is pretty much one of the biggest things in music right now. While his musical accomplishments are second to none, there is a lot of mystery that surrounds this talented artist. From hit songs to viral memes, he seems to have everything going for him. So who is this mysterious man after all? While there is no direct answer to that one, here are a few things that you probably didn’t know about him.
1. His Start
While he’s all the rage in music right now, he didn’t start off with just music. He actually first appeared in the hit Canadian TV show, Degrassi: The Next Generation, back in 2001. At the time, he was just 15 years old. So, it’s safe to assume that he isn’t just a good singer but, most likely a good actor too.
2. His Real Name
While a lot of people know this, it’s actually pretty surprising how many don’t. Well, Drake’s real name is actually Aubrey Graham. Drake is actually his middle name. When you think about it, it kinda makes sense that he is a complete softie.
3. He’s Obsessed With Harry Potter Series
At this point, does it really surprise us that he’s a die-hard Harry Potter fan? Probably not! The coolest part is that he doesn’t really try to hide it either. He completely embraces his nerdy side and maybe that’s what makes him so damn appealing.
4. He Really Wants To Know If Ki Ki Loves Him
In case you live under a rock and don’t know, Drake has been really curious about whether Ki Ki loves him or not. It even inspired a challenge! Yes, we know it’s a song and to be honest, we’ve had enough of it. Alright, maybe the joke was funnier in our heads.
5. He Has A Son
In recent news that shocked the world, we recently all found out that Drake actually has a 1-year old son named Adonis. While there were a lot of speculations about this going around after another rapper called him out, he only responded to the claims with a song from his new album. There is still some speculation surrounding the whole thing but yeah, that happened.
6. He’s Got A Bollywood Connection
Another thing that had the internet blow up was the fact that he knew Athiya Shetty. People were left speechless and confused when the rapper commented on one of her posts. While there are many versions of the story, the fact remains that he does know her and that they’ve met on two different occasions. To be honest, the rest really isn’t any of our business.
7. He Can’t Dance
Well, maybe you already knew this one. Still, if you thought that Hotline Bling was just him pretending, it wasn’t. Well, okay, saying he’s a bad dancer is kinda negative for us. So, let’s go with the fact that he has a rather ‘unique’ dance style and that’s what makes him special.
That being said, Drake seems like a pretty cool guy and the fact that he isn’t afraid to show his more vulnerable and emotional side is actually kinda bad-ass. So more power to him. BTW, what’s your favourite track from his new album? Let us know in the comments below.
