Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake, is a Canadian musician and actor.
At age 15, Drake starred in the Canadian comedy series Degrassi: The Next Generation as Jimmy Brooks, a former basketball star confined to a wheelchair after being shot by a classmate. Ironically, Brooks rapped in freestyle at the beginning of the TV show, followed by several more TV appearances.
Started from the bottom
Drake got his first big break when he got the role of Jimmy Brooks in the Canadian TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation. Although it didn’t pay a lot of money, it was enough to help him and his mother fight the fact that she was sick without money coming in. He could also get small roles in movies and other TV shows that helped push his name out into the open.
Drake created a mixtape, which he released in 2006. He managed to promote this single on TeenNick, which eventually led to him, creating a music video that is played on BET. Two years later, Drake began to gain more recognition for his music and was even invited to tour with Lil Wayne. Despite his growing success and popularity, he has not yet signed and continues to work with artists, including Rihanna, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Mary J. Blige, and many others.
He finally signed a record deal with Young Money Entertainment on June 29, 2009, after succeeding with two top ten songs that same week. After signing with this record, Drake went on tour with Lil Wayne, where he fell on stage and injured his knee. After undergoing rehabilitation, Drake was able to continue playing music while collaborating with new artists.
Albums and music career
“Thank me later” was Drake’s first official album, which came out in June 2010. Nearly 450,000 albums were sold in the first week of its release, making it one of the most successful rap albums of all time. Take Care was Drake’s next album, released in October 2011. With the success of this album, Drake was able to continue working with recent and upcoming rappers, as well as those who were already megastars.
At the end of 2012, Drake had his own label, in October, as well as his third album “Nothing Was the Same”. He also won an album for best rap at the 55 Grammy Awards and his label made a deal with Warner Bros. Records, taking his career to the next level.
Drake’s net worth and amazing home
Drake’s net worth is currently $ 30 million, but that number will increase in the future as he releases more singles and continues to collaborate with new artists. In 2012, he raised just over $ 42 million from the Club Paradise Tour, which may take place again in the future. Drake is also expected to continue making money through his songwriting skills, prompting him to write songs for singers, including Alicia Keys’ Jamie Foxx.
Drake currently owns a Bentley Continental GT, with which he travels around Los Angeles frequently.
Drake owns a number of properties, including two that are currently for sale in Miami. He recently moved to a $ 9 million mansion in Hollywood that is equipped with everything from a cave with a pool to a wine cellar in the basement. This mansion also has six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a theater with 24 seats, and an ATM!
Relationships
Drake keeps his romantic relationships close at hand and often says he doesn’t have time for a serious relationship. Some women he has been associated with in the past include Nikki Minai, Serena Williams, Rihanna, Keisha Chante, and Andrea Lewis. He did not acknowledge some of these relations, but he did not deny them.
