Drake is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, and entrepreneur. Drake initially gained recognition as an actor on the teen drama television series.
We wouldn’t consider ourselves a superstitious bunch.
In the wise words of Michael Scott, though, we are definitely a little stitious.
Which is why, as much as we love Drake, and as much as we shrugged it off most of the times that sports teams were faced with crushing losses all the times the Toronto-based rapper supported them, this time, we’re getting a little suspicious.
Ahead of the highly-anticipated matchup between Alabama and Clemson for this year’s National title, Drake showed his support for Bama, who were the favourite to win the Championship over the Tigers, but ended up getting thumped 44-16.
Alabama fans, who are scrounging for a scapegoat following their team’s crushing loss to freshman Trevor Lawrence and his squad, have decided to blame Drake.
While we know there probably isn’t basis for this, and that the ‘One Dance’ singer probably isn’t cursed, fans have gathered some fairly convincing evidence that honestly has us considering the possibility.
McGregor, Serena, and Kentucky Basketball losing following Drake’s support could just be a sad coincidence, but Clemson was quick to troll Alabama about their newest fan when they held a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter.
We’re not sure this curse is for real, but we’re positive that it would have been super awkward if Bama had come back after that Tweet.

Legit.ng News ☆ Read some of the ✍ best Drake's quotes about love ✍ He is not only a gifted rapper but an excellent writer of quotes. Here are.
Drake is up there as one of my favorite music artists;
But the thing that sways me more in Drake’s favor is the reason why he’s so successful, and that’s because of the motivation and passion he has for what he does.
I recently watched a video on YouTube that was basically a documentary on Drake before he’d reached the level of success he has now. It was at the point where he was starting to gain a little notice from some of his mix-tapes and acting that he was doing.

Drake is so sad – but he's incredibly cool too.
This paradoxical aura, this uncanny ability to be both sad and cool, hovers ghost-like around Mr Aubrey Graham. But it's precisely this manufacturing of persona that defines Drake in the pop-star hustle, putting him in a class removed from your identikit rappers with stable, marketable personas.
Which is where we get to his lyrics. Drake's not the best lyricist, nor is he technically the best rapper out there. But his delivery these days is so incredibly unmatched and his new aesthetic so undeniably consistent that it's no wonder why he's actually being put in GOAT conversations lately. He demands we take him seriously.
But can we take seriously a rapper who's more interested in missed phone calls than social injustices? A rapper who continually gripes about the very technology that has produced his fame? A rapper who halfheartedly tries to rap about important stuff, but usually ends up whining or bragging or trying to sound tough?
Of course we can! There's always wisdom on the surface, and Drake's all 'bout surface. Look too closely and of course you'll find contradictions, but keep it light and you'll find grand life lessons in his superficial musings – even if you can imagine most of it springing from a text or some late-night voicemail.
VIEWS, the new Drake album formerly known as Views From the 6, has droppped. To celebrate, we've gathered 20 Drake lyrics that you can incorporate into your own life and perhaps impose on others, if you feel like it.
1. "We don't like to do too much explaining/Story stayed the same, I never changed it…"
Song: Started From The Bottom
Lesson: History is a retrospective battle over truth, but if you always tell the truth, you can let history speak for itself and talk about girls and phones instead.
2. "As I’m back in the city they throw a parade/I might get a key to the city and give it to Wayne/Or give it to one of the young boys to carry the wave…"
Song: Summer Sixteen
Lesson: Always pay respect to the elders who paved the way and to the youngsters who will take it all for granted.
3. "Me and my friends we got money to spend…"
Song: Change Locations
Lesson: Help the economy by spending your disposable income.
4. "Cops are killing people with they arms up/And your main focus is tryna harm us?/And you think you 'bout to starve us?"
Song: Charged Up
Lesson: Beefs are most oftentimes petty when put in the context of the larger injustices in the world. But you should still release a bunch of diss tracks anyway.
5. "When I hear 'em talking, I just don't know what to make of it/Hate is so familiar to me, I'm slowly embracing it/Doesn't come natural, bear with me, it could take a bit…"
Song: Fireworks
Lesson: Criticism can be tough, but if you don't embrace it, then you'll never grow. That's why old people start getting shorter at the exact moment they've become set in their ways.
6. "Shout goes out to NIKE, checks all over me/I need a FuelBand just to see how long the run has been…"
Song: 10 Bands
Lesson: Get a company to sponsor you, make an awesome pun about the brand and then brag about your longevity through clever product integration.
7. "When I see that thing move, I just wish we would fight less and we would talk more/And they say communication save relations, I can tell/But I can never right my wrongs unless I write 'em down for real, P.S."
Song: Poetic Justice [Kendrick Lamar]
Lesson: The mind is what will reward you with the body ("that thing"), but sometimes your worst behavior will go down better when sung in an artful croon.
There is true wisdom in the lyrics of Drake, arguably hip-hop's most quotable artist.
This year marks the 28th birthday of one of our favorite quotable artists, Drake. Whether you were a fan of his from the Degrassi days, or have found yourself dancing hypnotically to the lyrics of one of his 10+ number 1 singles, there’s no denying the guy has serious talent.
Since breaking out in 2006 with his mixtape, Room For Improvement , we’ve watched him grow to dominate radio and collect accolades and awards along the way.
In addition to being a talented actor and musician, our favorite thing about Drake is his ability to craft poignant, memorable lyrics that become some of our favorite quotes. He even lets a few go on his Twitter page @Drake before each single or album drops just to whet the appetite.
And while there’s literally 100’s to choose from, we’ve narrowed this list down to 28 of the best quotes, lines & lyrics on life, love, and success.
1) On Life Lessons: “Live without pretending, Love without depending, Listen without defending, Speak without offending.” – Twitter @Drizzy

27) On Picking The Wrong Person. They keep telling me, ‘Don’t Save You’, If I ignore all that advice, and something isn’t right, then who will I complain to?”– Drake The Real Her
Our Thought: This situation is so tough to be in; knowing your friends disagree with your choices and question how stupid it will make you look should this relationship go wrong. So incredibly relatable.
28) On It Being Over Too Soon: “All in all I learned a lesson from it though, you never see it coming you just get to see it go.” Drake – Fireworks
Our thought: We saved one of the best for last right here. You have to admit he really nails this one. Life has a funny way of doing that doesn’t it, you may make plans, and you may think you’re life has become incredibly predictable, but life will always find a way to surprise you. Good or bad, enjoy the ride. Alright, alright, alright.

Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake is probably one of the best artists in the music world today. What a lot of people don't know about.
