Change the line "In his youth, he attended a Jewish day school and became a bar mitzvah." to "In his youth, he attended a Jewish day school and had a bar mitzvah." since a bar mitzvah is an event, not something that one becomes. JoeTheOtherSnake ( talk) 00:38, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
"becoming a bar mitzah" is grammatically correct. "Having a bar mitzvah" is a misnomer.
Hi, I'd argue Drake isn't commonly described as an actor and hasn't been nominated for any important acting award. Thedarkknightli ( talk) 00:10, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

In the controversies section the sentence 'In 2019 Drake payed a $350,000 settlement to a woman accusing him of sexual assault.' should be changed, swapping payed for the correct spelling paid. Rentre ( talk) 19:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Drake is said to have more than 1 kid. While there is only 1 confirmed one, there have been many women who claim that the father of their child is Drake, and a good amount of these women have good evidence. In Kendrick Lamar's diss-track against Drake, called 'meet the grahams', he says that he is hiding a daughter. Here are the verses that claim this. "Dear baby girl, I'm sorry that your father not active inside your world. He don't commit to much but his music, yeah, that's for sure. He a narcissist, misogynist, livin' inside his songs, try destroy families rather than takin' care of his own. Should be teachin' you time tables or watchin' Frozen with you, Or at your eleventh birthday singin' poems with you." Because of this and many more reasons, I believe that we should change the amount of children Drake has from 1, to at least 2. Carterzoro ( talk) 23:45, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Allegations of Drake engaging in pedophilic behavior have been discussed before by public figures (consider non hip-hop related comedian Shane Gillis stating that Drake "likes them young" in this podcast at mark 1:49:00), and within publications like Business Insider, with discussion of a video of Drake fondling a 17 year old girl on stage at a concert early in his career.
However, these allegations had not received mainstream notoriety before the Drake–Kendrick Lamar feud, certainly not to the degree they are currently receiving with public + musical accusations from Drake's musical contemporaries. I think now, with Drake responding directly to these allegations in his response to Kendrick, "The Heart Part 6" released on May 5th, a section in his article detailing the several allegations is justified. This would include his personal relationship to an underage Millie Bobby Brown and to model Bella Harris before and after she turned 18 (both mentioned in the Business Insider article above).

The article lists Drake as having "at least 1" children. Either he has more than one children, or only has one. Wikipedia shouldn't add qualifiers like this that imply what is essentially gossip is a fact—see WP:GRAPEVINE. The accusation of more than one child is already made in the "Family and relationships" section. I propose changing it back to "1". AbsoluteWissen ( talk) 08:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Drake's security guard was injured outside of his home. I heard about this as it happened yesterday and it's reported by The Guardian and The New York Times. There was info about it on the article for the Drake-Lamar feud, especially since some suspect the shooting to have a connection with Lamar's " Not Like Us", but it's currently unconfirmed. The info on that article has since been removed but there's no mention on this one. I'm planning to add info about it here if there are no objections. Carlinal ( talk) 16:43, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

change drakes children number to 2 and more, cuz he got more that 2 77.219.3.111 ( talk) 18:31, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
"In 2022, [Drake] obtained partial ownership of Italian football club A.C. Milan". This sentence is very misleading. RedBird Capital Partners owns an absolutely vast proportion of the club - 99.93% - with just 0.07% being private shareholders, Drake among them. I suggest changing this sentence to something like "In 2022, he obtained a minority share of / became a private shareholder within Italian football club A.C. Milan" Dhantegge ( talk) 12:17, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

On the Kendrick Lamar Wiki Page, it states something about a publicized feud with Drake. However, on the Drake Page, it doesn’t say anything about a feud with Kendrick. I feel like there should be an edit where under
“… yielded the number-one singles " Jimmy Cooks" (featuring 21 Savage), " Slime You Out" (featuring SZA), and " First Person Shooter" (featuring J. Cole).”
there should be something along the lines of
“… and " First Person Shooter" (featuring J. Cole), which has garnered a highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar.” Yosh56 ( talk) 18:12, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Drake is described as a Canadian rapper, he’s not though. He’s a Canadian pop star 2001:56A:F9CC:7800:29A6:D048:7FCB:873D ( talk) 04:05, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
[...] to be a pop rap artist. While Drake's earlier music primarily spanned hip hop and R&B, his music has delved into pop and trap since the albums Nothing Was the Same (2013) and Views (2016).with a source supporting the genres. Also, please show reliable sources if you want it changed. Babysharkboss2 was here!! Dr. Wu is NOT a Doctor! 13:09, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

This article states that Drake's "The Heart Part 6" is a reference to Kendrick Lamar's single "The Heart Part 5" from 2022 towards the end of the "Career" section in the "2022-present" sub-section. This does not illustrate the full picture which is that Kendrick has a full series of singles and freestyles called The Heart Part 1 through 5 which he has been making since 2010.

Drake is widely regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time considering his commercial and billboard success… 70.29.16.111 ( talk) 03:11, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Should it be added at the top of the article that he is "known mononymously Drake"? Cause it seems like if you say the name "Drake" out of context, it would likely be referring to him. NintendoTTTEfan2005 ( talk) 06:57, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request edits to other names Drake goes by, as nobody calls him "6 God", instead they call him "BBL Drizzy" now, based of a recent Metro Booming song. So please replace "6 God" with "BBL Drizzy". Thanks. 192.24.234.238 ( talk) 03:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Drake was raised in two neighbourhoods. He lived on Weston Road in Toronto's working-class west end until grade six and attended Weston Memorial Junior Public School until grade four, playing minor hockey with the Weston Red Wings. Drake was a promising right winger, reaching the Upper Canada College hockey camp, but left at the behest of his mother following a vicious cross-check to his neck during a game by an opposing player.
1) neighborhoods misspelled
2) He played hockey for the Weston Red Wings but the following sentence says "Drake was a promising right winger" Central16 ( talk) 20:25, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
