Drake is 31 today
While he originally came to public attention as an actor in Canadian teen soap Degrassi: The Next Generation, Aubrey ‘Drake’ Graham is now one of the hottest singers in contemporary R&B.
The Toronto rapper celebrated his birthday in comparatively restrained style this year, enjoying a quiet party at home before watching a basketball game as his beloved Toronto Raptors beat the Philadelphia 76ers 128 to 94.
Drake holds several Billboard chart records, including the most simultaneously charted Hot 100 songs in a single week. In March this year all twenty-two cuts from his new album More Life entered the singles chart, along with a couple of extra songs to bring the total to an unprecedented 24.
