He Hosted SNL
Drake has a background in comedic acting and made his Saturday Night Live hosting debut back in 2014. He also performed as the musical guest. The episode was absolutely hilarious and Drake received a ton of critical acclaim for his acting ability and comedic timing.
He’s Close With Kanye
While at times Drake and Kanye have publicly feuded, overall they are friends and have actually worked together! Did you know Kanye West directed Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” music video? The video was shot in Brooklyn at Bishop Ford Central High School. Drake stated, “At first for this video, I was taking myself way too serious and trying to do some, like, epic sort-of-intimate video… that would have been cool, but the song is too fun for that. So when we were in the studio one night – me, Kanye and Big Sean – we were actually recording a song. And ‘Ye… it oozes out of him, creativity… he was just being creative Kanye, like, spewing out ideas, and the day after I texted my manager – we have the same manager – and was like, ‘Yo, Kanye’s idea was actually the best out of all of them, see if he’ll do the video.’ I don’t know if at that point he knew he was gonna be directing the video. It was more an idea like, ‘It’ll be funny if we do this.’ Then it turned into ‘Let’s do this.'”
