Drake Says He Was "Kicked Off" Degrassi, Wants to Resume Acting
Great day for all-star writers talking to all-star musicians. First we had Chuck Klosterman with Taylor Swift (sooo many revelations...), now we've got Lynn Hirschberg with Drake in W magazine.
First bomb dropped in this one, right at the top: Drake says he was "kicked off" Degrassi: The Next Generation—the show he joined at age 14—partially due to his burgeoning music career:
“Back then, I’d spend a full day on set and then go to the studio to make music until 4 or 5 a.m. I’d sleep in my dressing room and then be in front of the cameras again by 9 a.m. Eventually, they realized I was juggling two professions and told me I had to choose. I chose this life.”
