Despite recent years (and several controversies, including a beef with Kendrick Lamar), Drake remains one of music’s biggest stars. He helped launch Young Money into the stratosphere in the late 00s, making them one of hip-hop’s most powerful labels. That said, before he was the “hitmaker we depend on,” as he raps on his diss track toward Lamar, “Push Ups,” there was a time when the Toronto native was allegedly too “dorky” to even hang out on Lil Wayne’s tour bus.
Adam Bhala Lough, the director of Wayne’s The Carter documentary, recently sat down with music journalist Andre Geefor an interview, where they discussed the film and its sequel, which was recently leaked online by hackers. During the discussion, he shared an interesting story about how Drake was perceived in his early years at Young Money. According to Lough, Drake was seen as the “dorkier” one of the crew.
