In this episode of pplpod, we dive into the unstoppable rise of Aubrey Drake Graham. We trace his evolution from a teenage actor on the Canadian drama Degrassi: The Next Generation to becoming the "Artist of the Decade" and one of the best-selling music artists in history. Join us as we explore how the Toronto native popularized the blend of singing and rapping to reshape modern hip-hop, earning him a record-breaking 13 Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles along the way.
We break down the key chapters of Drake’s life and career:
• The Come Up: How a mixtapes run led to a bidding war and a deal with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment.
• The Mogul: Inside his business empire, from founding OVO Sound and partnering with Nike on the Nocta label to serving as the "global ambassador" for the Toronto Raptors.
• The Beefs: A look at his most explosive public disputes, including the ghostwriting allegations from Meek Mill, the clash with Pusha T that revealed his secret son, and the massive 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar that dominated the charts.
• The Lifestyle: From his custom Boeing 767 "Air Drake" to his 50,000-square-foot Toronto manor known as "The Embassy".
Plus, we cover his recent return to the spotlight with 2025’s Some Sexy Songs 4 U and the upcoming album Iceman. Tune in to understand the man behind the memes, the records, and the "Drake Curse".
