Who is Drake?
Before we unveil the truth behind the rumors, let us take a look at the basics. If you aren’t a big fan of Drake, not knowing who he is and what his background is common.
Born as Audrey Drake Graham, Drake is a famous rapper born on October 24, 1986. He has built a successful career as a rapper, singer, and songwriter. But, his growth as career didn’t grow in the field of music at the beginning.
Instead, Drake’s rise to fame came from the teen drama series, Degrassi: The Next Generation, which aired on CTV. Later, he ventured into releasing his music and started with releasing “Room for Improvement,” in 2006. Somehow, his debut mixtape was well-received by the audience.
Following that, Drake kept releasing similar music in the rapping, hip-hop, and pop genre. He has also released music in the R&B genre and gained immense popularity. Besides that, he later released hit albums titled “Nothing Was the Same,” and “Views.”
Besides that, Drake has also acquired a global fanbase and has ventured into different scenes of music and rapping, something that has set him apart from his peers.
How does Drake Define his Sexuality?
All the buzz surrounding Drake’s sexuality came to the surface when he released one of his new songs, “Girls Want Girls.” The lyrics of the song led to people questioning whether Drake is gay or someone from the LGBTQ+ community.

Despite the different rumors and speculations that have popped around the corner, you can’t deny the fact that Drake has only been publicly seen with women up until now in his public career. With the highly publicized relationships that Drake has been with women, including celebrities, it is not out of the box to believe that he is, in fact, heterosexual.
