He’s never hidden the fact that he was M.O.T. … so a generation of Jewish parents could tell their kids “if Drake took the time to study for HIS Bar Mitzvah, you can too.” Ladies and gentlemen…challah at your boy….DRAKE!” the duo said of the song. If you ever wanted to see Grohl sing Drake lyrics and dad dance with a menorah, you’re in luck and you can see it happen below.

On Brand: Drake Is Really Selling Drake-Scented Candles
Source: PYMCA / Getty Is there any artist more self-aware than Drake? The 6 God is now selling “Drake-scented” candles, and it couldn’t be more on brand. The Toronto rapper has never been one to try to pose too tough beyond his bars, and the constant singing and melancholy tunes has shown he has no problem embracing his emo-side. That’s a side stereotypically attuned to images of bubble baths and candles, so it only makes sense that the “Marvin’s Room” rapper is now officially in the candle game. As first reported by InStyle, a brand called Better World Fragrance House has not so quietly revealed it is launching five “ultra lux candles.” You may remember that Drake gifted the then-new NBA champion Toronto Raptors’ players with candles that had personal messages on them, which in hindsight ...
The Most Influential Artists: #32 Drake
As part of our 35th-anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #32. From Toronto, Ontario, Canada, here’s Drake. CREDIT: Paras Griffin/Getty Images You can easily compare Aubrey Graham to one of those automatic baseball-pitching machines. Every throw somehow lands exactly where he wants it. Drawing from Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak playbook, Drake’s first move was his 2009 breakout So Far Gone, a mixtape that truly “sounded like an album,” as opposed to, well, a mixtape. And while his signature sing-rapping smashes haven’t since found their way onto equally great albums — with Take Care a major exception — Drizzy could be modern music’s most consistent hit-maker. Attempting to even list his top five is impossible — there really is...

Drake Shares A Picture of Adonis Going To His First Day of School
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Feels like just yesterday Pusha T shocked the Hip-Hop world when he revealed that Drake was hiding a child from the world and the world from his child. Since then Drizzy has owned up to being that baby’s father and while we’re not entirely sure just how involved he is in baby Adonis’ life, he’s recently shared a new pic of his first child going to his first day of school.
