 +
 +===== Kanye West =====
 +
 +A journey to Wyoming to work with Kanye on his record appeared to have strained Drake and Kanye's friendship. Despite Kanye's claim that Drake may utilize his new "Lift Yourself" track, Kanye proceeded to release a single with the rhythm after Drake had departed Wyoming.[([[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/kanye-west-apologizes-to-drake-over-lift-yourself-beat-pusha-t-diss-tracks-719204/|Rolling Stone]])]
 +
 +===== Debut =====

 +Drake rose fast to stardom after releasing his debut studio album, Thank Me Later, not even two years after being found. This album topped the charts in both Canada and the United States.[([[https://time.com/3741853/how-drake-became-raps-unlikely-titan/|Time]])]
 +
 +===== Rihanna =====
 +
 +For a few years, Rihanna and Drake dated, even releasing a couple of songs together (Take Care and "What's My Name"). The couple subsequently split up and went their own ways, with Rihanna seeing Chris Brown.[([[https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/drake-rihanna-relationship-timeline-8454000/|Billboard]])]
 +
 +===== Marvin's Room =====
 +
 +Drake has gotten himself into a lot of difficulty due of his song "Marvin's Room". The song was apparently written by Drake's ex-girlfriend Erika Lee, although she was never given credit.[([[https://pitchfork.com/news/45324-drake-sued-by-woman-featured-on-marvins-room/|Pitchfork]])]
 +
 +===== Grammy Beef =====
 +
 +Drake won two prizes in 2017 for his smash single "Hotline Bling." However, the singer went on to argue that the Grammys had humiliated him, accusing them of "shoehorning" him into a certain category. He thought he was only included in the rap category because of his color, despite the fact that "Hotline Bling" isn't even a rap song.[([[https://ew.com/grammys/2017/02/19/drake-grammys-hotline-bling-not-rap-song/|EW]])]
