Drake’s Early Life

Drake was schooled at a Jewish day school. However, his parents got divorced when the rapper was only five.
His father was later in prison for many years after getting involved in drug charges. So, Drake grew up in Toronto with his mother but did occasionally pay a visit to his father who lived in Memphis. Though living in a two-story townhome in Forest Hill, Drake’s family did struggle with money issues.
After enrolling at Forest Hill Collegiate Institute, Drake soon discovered his knack for singing and acting. He then went to Vaughan Road Academy but due to excessive bullying, he chose to quit. Later he completed his education in 2012.
