As the Toronto rapper continues to break records and dominate the music industry, it’s clear that his roots in the city remain strong. Born Aubrey Drake Graham, the 38-year-old artist has consistently referenced his hometown in his music, from “Tuscan Leather” to “Marvin’s Room.” His love for Toronto is evident in the way he often name-drops local landmarks, such as the CN Tower and the 6 God himself.
Drake’s impact on the city goes beyond his music. He has invested heavily in various Toronto-based businesses, including the popular restaurant, Fring’s, and the sports apparel brand, October’s Very Own (OVO). His influence has also led to increased tourism in the city, with fans flocking to the 6 to experience the sights and sounds that have inspired his music.
Despite his international success, Drake remains committed to giving back to his community. In 2020, he launched the October’s Very Own Foundation, which aims to support local youth and provide resources for education and job training. With his dedication to Toronto and its residents, it’s clear that Drake’s roots in the city will remain strong for years to come.
