Producer and rapper Drake entered the world of Hollywood through a Canadian teen drama when he was fifteen years old. Struggling to put money on the table, he got inspired by rap icons like Jay-Z to pursue music. After releasing mixtapes that were a moderate success, Lil Wayne signed him onto his record label, and his debut album was released in 2010, which took very little time to climb the top spot. All of Drake’s albums have been four times platinum, and he has become one of the most potent forces in hip-hop. His music, ventures, and endorsements have earned him a $250 million fortune. As a high profile, there is deep scrutiny regarding his personal life. However, Drake tries to remain as low-key as possible.
From dating models to the biggest musicians in the industry, Drake has had an exciting love life that fans often get to hear about from his music and performances. From former flames during the early years of his career to superstars he dated during his peak, let’s take a look at the girlfriends Drake has dated and their massive net worths.
