But it seems he has been rather less successful in his personal life.

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.

And it 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.

How? 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.

Did you know this little-known fact?

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.

As they appreciate his ability to discuss raw and sensitive topics, from the child he tried to keep a secret all the way to his faith in God.

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?

  via Shutterstock  

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

In fact, Drak’es entire relationship with his son is a little bit problematic.

But fans have also targeted something else of his…

  via Getty Images  

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.

  via Getty Images  

Which caused major drama.

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

  via Getty Images  

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…

  via Getty Images  

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…

  via Getty Images  

“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.

  via Getty Images  

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…

  via Getty Images  

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

Reposting 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…

  via Getty Images  

“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…

  via Getty Images  

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

But then, Drake hit headlines for another reason.

  via Getty Images  

He showed the internet his new necklace — with a rather significant meaning.

The necklace is called “Previous Engagements.”

  via Getty Images  

And it consists of forty-two diamonds which is reportedly representative of the forty-two times Drake has considered proposing to a girlfriend.

It was created by celebrity jeweler Alex Moss.

  via Getty Images  

And the forty-two stones count for 351.38 carats in diamonds.

The diamonds are also set in 18K white gold.

Drake debuted it at Lil Baby’s birthday concert in Atlanta last Saturday at State Farm Arena.

Drake’s son Adonis was born back in 2017.

But since then, the pair’s relationship has been very strained.

After the child’s birth, Drake initially refused to acknowledge his child.

  via Getty Images  

He even questioned the paternal claims of his son’s mother, former adult star, Sophie Brussaux.

Brussaux even blasted the rapper as a lousy dad.

  via Getty Images  

But since a paternity test proved he was the dad, Drake has really stepped up.

“I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world/I was hiding the world from my kid,” he rapped in Emotionless.

  via Getty Images  

“Breakin’ news in my life I don’t run to the blogs/ The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call.”

“Single father, I hate when I hear it / I used to challenge my parents on every album / Now I’m embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a coparent,” he continues.

  via Shutterstock  

“Always promised the family unit / I wanted it to be different because I’ve been through it / But this is the harsh truth now.”

Drake and Sophie are not romantically involved, but have made the decision to co-parent their kid.

  via Shutterstock  

And Adonis even makes regular appearances on Drake’s social media.

Drake’s father Dennis previously spoke to Us Weekly about the pair’s relationship.

  via Shutterstock  

“I’ve seen them interact together, and it’s beautiful.”

Although Drake does make a conscious effort to keep his son out of the public eye, he has made a recent appearance on the rapper’s Instagram.

  via Getty Images  

And fans can’t believe what he looks like now!

But this week, a rather embarrassing moment of Drake’s has gone viral.

  via Getty Images  

During a recent Kick stream, he attempted to gift a fan $500.

But, humiliatingly, his card was declined!

  via Shutterstock  

“Bro! Embarrassing,” Drizzy said to fellow rapper Lil Yachty.

Take a look at the hilarious moment here.
