Drake Receives Rolls Royce He Used to Rent to ‘Keep Up Appearances’ As Birthday Gift, Yeah We’re Not Buying That He’s Only 35

Back in 2007, Aubrey Drake Graham used to roll around Toronto in British luxury’s finest living room on wheels. The silver Rolls Royce Phantom added bling to an otherwise dreary drive, letting folks in the neighborhood know the former Degrassi graduate was on to bigger and better things. The only crack in Drizzy’s ice-cool facade was the fact that the car was secretly a rental, bleeding $5,000 a month from a dwindling 20-something’s bank account.

Cut to 14 years, 42 top ten singles, a $50 million Canadian palace, and one trillion streams later and Aubrey now owns that long-lost Rolls Royce. And according to him, the throwback whip which was a birthday gift from his co-manager Adel Nur is a sign of coming full circle. Manifestation complete.

Detractors may say Drake is a wasteman, a term used to describe someone who spends all their energy amounting to nothing of substance. But he laughed that mantel off in the music video for ‘Life Is Good’ which showed the rapper riding a garbage truck on his way to the top. And now he’s laughing it off in the British road yacht that once dangled like Damocles sword over his entire future – acting as the risky investment ride which symbolized the kingdom to come.

So how often does modern manifest destiny actually work? And how many times can you rewrite your identity and hope the predicted outcome follows? Only the universe knows the answer to these questions, as well as the true age of the man known as Drake.
