Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Drake’s 39th birthday week has put him back at the center of music, sports, and culture headlines. On October 24, the Recording Industry Association of America announced that Drake now has the most diamond-certified songs in history, with 15 diamond singles and his iconic album Take Care also reaching diamond status. This is the first time Drake has scored a diamond-certified album, setting a new mark for any artist ever, as reported by HOT 97 and AllHipHop. The latest certifications include fresh diamonds for Passionfruit, The Motto with Lil Wayne, Nonstop, Headlines, and Nice For What, elevating his total to sixteen diamond plaques in all. Take Care’s RIAA milestone highlights how deeply that album shaped the genre, still streaming strong over a decade after its release. Supported by previous diamond tracks like Best I Ever Had, God’s Plan, and SICKO MODE, these milestones underscore his key place at the summit of modern music.
The celebration wasn’t just about business milestones. According to AllHipHop, Drake marked his birthday in the Bahamas with family and close friends, including a public shoutout from his father and hints from Johnny Manziel on social media about the highly awaited ICEMAN album still slated to drop before year’s end. Simultaneously, Drake’s OVO brand and business empire, particularly Virginia Black whiskey, continue to generate substantial revenue, keeping him near the top of celebrity net worth rankings, and his latest Amazon Music capsule—Drake's Warehouse Collection—dropped just ahead of Halloween.
Drake’s crowd-stirring presence wasn’t limited to the charts. On Friday night, according to The Source and Times of India, he electrified his hometown Toronto during Game One of the 2025 World Series at Rogers Centre. Hosting celebrities from a VIP suite and flashing a blue diamond Blue Jays chain on social media, his sudden appearance on the scoreboard became an instant viral moment, with his song Trophies blaring as he riled the crowd. While many fans cheered, social feeds lit up with superstition and age-old jokes about the infamous Drake curse, even as Toronto battled back from behind for a late lead. TMZ and Sports Illustrated both noted that his cameo reignited talk of his longstanding feud with Kendrick Lamar, with fans spinning the Blue Jays vs Dodgers matchup as a proxy battle in their trans-coastal rivalry. Both love and skepticism were on display, but no one could deny Drake’s ability to shape the narrative, both online and in person, remaining both a lightning rod and a kingmaker as he nears another career crescendo.
