Tonight, his money is literally on Gervonta Davis, as he has a bout with Ryan Garcia tonight.
Drake took a unique journey to the top of the rap game. As a Toronto native, Drake was discovered by Jas Prince, hence his Houston connection. With Jas being on tour, at the time, this led to Drake being involved on the tour. As a result, he formed a relationship with Lil Wayne. First, this situation led to Drake’s signing to Young Money. After that, Drake took Wayne’s position as the number one rapper in the game. Fourteen years later, he still holds that title.
