Aubrey Drake Graham, known best by his stage name “Drake”, is a rapper, singer, actor, and producer.

After releasing his first mixtape titled, Room for Improvement, his music career was officially launched.

And 3 years after his initial release, he started promoting his third mixtape So Far Gone which saw him gain lots of commercial success.

A year later, Drake released his first album Thank Me Later, which went on to be nominated for a Grammy.

Alicia Keys and Kendrick Lamar helped Drake produce the album, which received mainly positive reviews. For a new rapper on the scene, he did well.

Over the next decade, Drake established his legacy in the music industry by releasing banger after banger and most of them ended up in the top 10 on every single chart.

You’ve heard ‘Just Hold On, We’re Going Home’, right? It’s one of those chill car songs for a summer evening.

But that’s not all!

A lot of people forget that Drake actually started out as an actor. He did several commercials before securing a permanent role.

In 2001, Drake landed a role in Degrassi: The Next Generation.

He was commended for playing a basketball star in a wheelchair after he was shot by a classmate.

After taking a little break from music to enjoy some free time, he made a sudden return to the scene with new tracks, including ‘When to Say When’.

But that release got a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons.

In the song, there is a lyric that reads: “Baby mama fluke, but I love her for who she is.” Many have said this line is “disrespectful” and “sleazy”, as he is implying that having a child with this woman was a mistake.

At least he says he loves her, right?

He explains how he loves them both unconditionally and has previously also mentioned how he wants to be part of his son’s life.

But fans have also targeted something else of his…

And it’s got to do with one of his Instagram posts.

In 2018, Drake’s dad, Dennis, got a tattoo of his famous son on his arm.

A Toronto-based artist, called Inal Bersekov, touched up the tattoo and even shared a before and after photo on Instagram.

But unfortunately, the original tattoo artist was less than impressed with the tattoo.

Money Mike, the tattoo artist behind Dennis’ original inking, revealed the real reason why the Drake tattoo wasn’t up to scratch…

He said Dennis was in so much pain at the 4-hour mark that he rushed Mike to wrap up the job as quickly as possible.

The tattooist recently confessed that Dennis initially loved the piece, until Drake saw it…

He said: “Once Drake saw the tat everything changed.”

His star son was quick to repost a photo of it onto social media recently, but it’s what he said along with the photo that’s got everyone thinking ‘what a son’…

On August 8, Drake posted a portrait of himself inked onto his dad’s arm on Instagram with an eye-opening caption of course…

“I was just sitting here thinking why you do me like this we family,” he wrote.

Obviously, Dennis responded to his son’s hilarious caption.

“Hahaha I had 16 people to try and straighten this out, they’re hurting me,” he said.

And added a cute “I love you and miss you” soon after.

And aside from that photo, another one of Drake’s posts caught the attention of the internet…

And it seriously made many question the star’s lavish lifestyle.

Re-posting Drake’s Instagram video, in which he showed off his new piece of wrist candy, a Twitter user commented on the appearance of his hands…

“Drake hands look like he’s never touched an inconvenience in his life,” she wrote.

This didn’t take long to go viral, with thousands of people retweeting the post, and many throwing their own jokes at the rapper…

“Those are the hands of a French diplomat,” one person wrote. While a second person added: “Man got the hands of an heiress.”

But this week, Drake received some rather less pleasant news.

The loss of $2 million!
