Sooo, Aubrey ?Drake?Graham is the man right now, like for real for real. He was born October 24, exactly one month after my birthday woot woot in Toronto Canada. Also known as ?the 6?, the reason he calls himself the 6 God however Kanye West refers to him as ?The Rap God?. I?d rather sip some champagne with him and just call him Papi? but whatev?s lol just kidding. He jumped on the scene in 2001 with his acting career on Degrassi. However Drake loves music so he had been releasing mixtapes but around 2009 he linked up with YMCMB records and ?Drizzy?s? music career took off. In fact his first EP had 4 songs to make it to the top 10 Billboard Hot 100. ?The 6 God? is a platinum selling, multitalented, multi-award winning entertainer. He?s won a Grammy, a Juno and 6 BET awards. And he?s nominated again for the BET 2016 award show. He acts, sings, writes , produces, and raps. All of his commercial albums and mixtapes are certified diamond in Canada. But that?s not all. Drizzy is definetly a mogul. He turned his company OVO from a blog to a BRAND. This includes his record label, clothing line, and yearly Ovo festival. We know how much he loves basketball and in 2013 he became the global brand ambassador for the Toronto Raptors. He signed a deal with Jordan, and the list goes on and on? and on. Member of the Forbes Five Drake is listed as one of the top 5 highest paid artist. Last year alone he made 39.5 million dollars. He even made more money than the Beat Master Dr. Dre. He?s getting that Jay-Z & Diddy type of money? straight boss moves. And he hasn?t even been in the game as long. In order to earn that type of dough you gotta have multiple streams of income. Don?t ask how he?s doing it just know he?s getting it done.
