Who is Drake?
To some he’s Jimmy on Degrassi: The Next Generation. To most, Aubrey Drake Graham is better known as Drake. The most devoted fans call him Champagne Papi. The Canadian rapper first hit the scene in 2006 with a series of mixtapes before being propelled to dizzying new heights thanks to his R&B crooning combined with his songwriting prowess.
A love/hate relationship with Kanye West, a growing fashion brand, a horde of viral moments – that hotline bling meme will never die – and (possibly) a 5 per cent boost on his hometown’s economy has cemented the Toronto native as a serious hip-hop icon with unparalleled pop appeal.
