He Really Did Start From The Bottom

While this is a huge debate in pop culture, Drake did start from the bottom. He experienced a ton of hardships during his youth. His father was arrested and put in jail, his parents got divorced, his mother was sick and struggled to support the family, and he faced bullying for being “the only Black Jew” at his school. There was a time his Degrassi earnings was the sole source of income for him and his mother. He stated in an interview, “My mother was very sick. We were very poor like broke. The only money I had coming in was off of Canadian TV.” His song “Started From The Bottom” was released in 2013 and is a reflection of his personal struggle for fame and success. He stated, “I just wanted to make it known that I did work really hard to get here and it wasn’t just a fluke and it wasn’t easy by any means.”
