The son of African-American artist Dennis Graham (born in Memphis, Tennessee) and Canadian Jewish educator Sandi (Sher) Graham, Aubrey Drake Graham was born in Toronto, Ontario. Drake made multiple appearances in advertisements as a young man, including ones for GMC and Sears. Drake first gained notoriety in 2001 when he portrayed “Jimmy Brooks” on Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001), a wheelchair-bound basketball player who was shot by a classmate. Drake’s musical career began in 2006 when he dropped his debut mix tape, “Room for Improvement”. After gaining both critical and financial success with his third mix tape, “So Far Gone,” three years later, he released his formal debut album, “Thank Me Later,” to largely positive reviews the following year. Since he has shown himself to be a gifted young Canadian, the entertainment business has high hopes for Aubrey Drake Graham.<\/p>

Personal life of Drake<\/strong><\/h2>

From 2009 to 2016, Drake and Rihanna were in a relationship, but it was rocky and filled with arguments, making it difficult for the two of them to stay together. Drake acknowledges that his desire to have a family with her made him feel really depressed. Adonis, his son, was born in 2017 as a consequence of his union with Sophie Brussaux, a French adult film actress. Numerous rumors were raised by the pregnancy, however Drake later acknowledged his paternity on his album Scorpion in 2018. This well-known performer has a history of contentious performances; he has feuded with Pusha T and Common.<\/p>

Additionally, he allegedly threw glass bottles at Chris Brown after a physical argument at the WIP nightclub in Manhattan, New York’s SoHo neighborhood.<\/p>

Chris Brown and Drake demonstrated that their disagreement was over on July 16, 2014. Later on, he got into a fight with rapper Meek Mill after Mill criticized him harshly on Twitter for employing ghostwriters. Drake’s song “Charged Up” was an oblique response. Meek Mill then gave a “Wanna Know” in response.<\/p>

Drake Family<\/strong><\/h2>

Rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, producer, and native of Canada, Drake has had enormous success in the music business. He is the son of percussionist Dennis Graham and educator Sandi Graham.
