You asked. Drake, who is currently working on his full-length debut album, answered.
Is there a lady in your life? (from stephanie_15)
No time right now. Working on my album!
How is being an actor different then being a rapper? (from Alejandra.)
I enjoy doing both. But as a musician, you're able to delve totally into your creative side whereas as an actor, you're expressing and reacting to someone else's words.
Will we see anymore acting from you In the future? (from ->MANNY<-)
At some point, I'm sure you will.
Do you still keep in touch with the "Degrassi" cast? (from Alejandra.)
Yes.
How has Weezy impacted your life? (from ->MANNY<-)
It's been amazing watching and working with Wayne. He has such energy and crazy work ethic. So I see firsthand what it takes to succeed.
Do you ever see yourself collaborating with a Latino artist? If so, who? (from Alejandra.)
I'm open to working with anyone interested in creating a vibe that folks can enjoy.
Drake, what's on your iPod? (from Alejandra.)
I enjoy all genres of music: hip hop, R&B, rock, jazz.
If u could go to any country in Latin America where would you go and why? (from stephanie_15)
There are parts of México and South America I wouldn't mind visiting for the culture... and for the ladies, Brazil during Carnivale or Cabo.
If you could learn another language what would it be? (from stephanie_15)
Any new language would be cool if I had the time to really learn it.
What's the thing you always wanted to do but never got the chance to do it? (from "RiCkY")
I'm doing what I've always wanted to right now!

Keep hatin'. It motivates me each day.
