In a heartfelt video shared on Instagram prior to the commencement of his ‘It’s All a Blur’ tour, renowned rapper Drake bared his soul and revealed his biggest fear. The multi-talented artist, known for his chart-topping hits such as “God’s Plan,” contemplated the concept of mortality, expressing his apprehension about life ultimately fading into darkness. Moreover, Drake shared a personal anecdote about an early TV audition that played a pivotal role in shaping his career and caused him to ponder the nature of reality.
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, began the video by discussing his elusive fear, a question he had previously struggled to answer convincingly. He admitted that he had always been haunted by the idea that life could someday come to an end, leaving behind nothing but an abyss of darkness. He pondered the concept that everything he has achieved and experienced may ultimately be rendered insignificant.
Delving deeper into his thoughts, Drake shared a poignant recollection from his early teenage years. At the age of 13 or 14, he faced a significant audition for a television show, which eventually propelled him into the limelight. The role, presumed to be his breakthrough character, Jimmy on the hit series “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” was pivotal in shaping his future.
However, the young Drake revealed that before this life-altering audition, he succumbed to peer pressure and decided to experiment with drugs. Seeking acceptance from his peers, he joined some friends and got high just before his audition. Drake’s reminiscence of this moment led him to contemplate whether the events of that day may have taken a negative turn or if he had potentially slipped into a coma. He even questioned if his current reality was a construct, a manifestation of an ideal life that exists only within his mind.
