He is the type of guy you can’t forget. Drake – full name Aubrey Drake Graham – is one of the most famous and successful artists in the music industry. It's not just his songs that captivate fans, his charisma and personality have also caused many viral moments in the media. For example, do you know “Drakeposting”?
Excerpts from the video “Hotline Bling” are among the most iconic images.
How old is Drake? 37 (October 24, 1986) How tall is Drake? 5’ 11.5” (182cm) Drake Net Worth? US$250 million (estimated) |
The Canadian native was born in Toronto on October 24, 1986 – his first steps in the public eye began as an actor in the Canadian television series Degrassi: The Next Generation. However, the multi-talented man's versatile and, above all, musical abilities quickly became apparent, and Drake concentrated on his rap career. His breakthrough came with his third mixtape, So Far Gone from 2009. His hip-hop and R&B colleagues also appreciate him as a singer and songwriter: for example, he collaborated with Chris Brown on the remix song “Deuces” featuring Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Tyga and Gucci Mane.

Drake's Rich Flex
As Drake’s Rich Flex lyrics mention, “Yellow diamonds in the watch, this sh- cost a lot,” but in relation to Drake’s net worth of US$250 million, it’s probably just chop change for the meme king. Drake acts as an ambassador for Cargojet and therefore owns an aircraft that he received as a gift from the Canadian Airline. It was designed in his signature color “baby blue”.
You may be surprised at the number of businesses Drake is involved in. He owns, among other things, a liquor brand (Virginia Black Whiskey) a candle company (Better World Fragrance House). He also owns his own record label, OVO sound (October’s Very Own), founded in 2012 alongside producer 40 and manager Oliver El-Khatib.
Drake Hoodie
While on tour with 21 Savage and J.Cole, the meme king had a range of merch that was exclusively available on the road. One of which a blue hoodie named “For All The Dogs” hoodie that costs $220, but the price definitely did not stop fans from purchasing it.
If you weren’t a fan, you probably would be questioning the design. Who would want “hotmoms.com” splayed across your back am I right? Well Drake fans are all for it.

Drake Candle
Don't have time to attend one of his concerts? Then bring Drake home, literally.
Having established Better World Fragrance House in 2021, the brand currently has 5 scents curated based on Drake’s own memories. The candles are priced at $48.00, with the only exception being Drake’s personal scent, “Carby Musk” – also known as “the Drake scent”.
Drake Albums and Songs
Drake's song “One Dance” achieved the most streams and was number one on many charts worldwide. On Spotify, for example, the hit was played over 2 billion times. The singer is the current icon for contemporary hip-hop and R&B. He released several successful albums such as Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, Views and Scorpion.
Drake's ability to combine rap and singing, his catchy melodies, and his talent as a songwriter helped him gain a wide fan base. His versatility and influence in pop culture have made him one of the music industry's most well-known and successful artists. Which Drake song are you?
Drake Album Cover
Drake’s album covers have always been personal, here are some stories behind some of his iconic album covers.
For All The Dogs
Ever wonder who designed his album cover? Well, it’s none other than his 5-year-old son, Adonis. We don’t know about you but we think that’s kinda cute.
Her Loss
Who is the mysteriously lady on the cover? The origin is probably more random than you think. It is said that Drake most likely just came across the photo of Houston-based nail stylist and professional adult dancer, Quiana Yasuka (known as Sukii Baby) and decided that that was his vibe.
Certified Lover Boy
Pregnant lady emojis? Trust Drake to make that an album cover. The internet seems to think this is a flop despite it being the work of renowned contemporary artist Damien Hirst. What do you think?
Meme King - Best Drake Memes
1. Hotline Bling
Who could forget the iconic Hotline Bling meme. The meme certainly stood the test of time and is still hot as ever despite having first surfaced in 2015.
2. The Type of Guy
The meme started with fans poking fun at his sensitive and occasionally effeminate persona (as we see in his alter ego, Anita Max Wynn), which goes against a stereotypical rapper personality.
@tiuqo Drake said my spotify playlist “Rapify” is better than his whole career #drake #zesty #drakememe #aubreygraham #drizzydrake ♬ starboy by chase fayez - Tiuqo
3. Zesty Drake
As if the internet couldn’t get any weirder, yes, there is a meme dedicated to the speculation of drake being gay. It all started with his song “Rich Flex” with 21 Savage where fans stated that their verses sounded like flirty banter. Honestly, slay.
Bonus: Helicopter
If you weren’t aware of the latest Drake leak, that’s on you. The leaked NSFW video featuring Drake and Mia Khalifa spurred a bunch of memes about the Canadian rapper’s “size” (IYKYK).
