Canadian rapper Drake was credited by his real name Aubrey Graham when he was on Degrassi: The Next Generation. Drake was only 15 years old when he was cast in the role of a teen basketball star who becomes disabled from the waist down, making him wheelchair-bound for a majority of the series. After leaving the show in 2007, Drake was already at the helm of his burgeoning rap career. Fast forward about ten years later and Drake is now one of the most popular rappers in the business with three Grammy’s and four triple-platinum records.
