He may be one of the coolest men in hip-hop, but Drake had the foresight to have a quick name change before making his way to the top.
While we know it’s meant to be all about the talent, Simon Cowell has it drummed into us that it’s the overall package that really counts.
Sometimes in ways you couldn’t imagine.
So you might be surprised to know Drake decided to opt for something a little racier than his given birth name.
Drake decided to make it in the music business he was going to have to ditch his birth name… which just so happens to be Aubrey Graham.
As well as taking up a new residence from Toronto, Canada to the United States to pursue a rap career, Aubrey switched to using his middle name Drake.
We think it’s safe to say it was a smart move.
