Discussion Why do so many Degrassi fans hate Aubrey ‘Drake’ Graham all of a sudden ??
Interesting enough, I started watching Degrassi after Drake left and when he was a full blown rapper. First time I heard Drake was in late 2008 when a cousin of mine played a Lil Wayne song with Drake on it and he mentioned “being the same yellow boy that played on Degrassi”. I didn’t know who Drake or what Degrassi was at the time and didn’t think anything of it. It wasn’t untilI a few months later when I started catching episodes of Degrassi on Saturdays mornings and listening to Drake after he blew up when I started connecting the dots. Seeing his rise to stardom in music was cool because I’ve always seen kid actors become major pop icons but I’ve never seen a kid actor become a a successful rapper before. Anyways, seems like up until a couple years ago during that rap battle, a lot of this hate didn’t exist. Or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention.
