Drake’s father was an African-American drummer from Memphis, Tennessee, while his mother was a white Jewish-Canadian English teacher. He attended a Jewish high school and had a Bar-Mitzvah ceremony. Despite leaving the Vaughan Road Academy to pursue acting in “Degrassi: The Next Generation”, Drake later returned to graduate from the academy in 2012.

Drake’s music career took off in 2007 with the release of his first mixtape, “Room for Improvement”. The success of his early mixtapes caught the attention of rapper Lil Wayne which led to collaborations with several well-known artists. His debut extended play “So Far Gone”, released in 2009, achieved commercial and critical success. Subsequently, his first studio album, “Thank Me Later” released in 2010, exceeded a million copies sold worldwide. This success continued with his subsequent albums, such as “Nothing Was the Same” in 2013, which has sold close to two million copies in the US alone.

Drake’s personal life has been a subject of public interest, with rumors of a relationship with singer Rihanna circulating for some time, although nothing has been confirmed.
