Drake made his debut in 2009, but before that time, according to Vogue, there had not been a non-U.S. rapper to break into the American hip-hop market so successfully. His lyrics were effortless, and the music industry took notice. Along with success came a few feuds that are just par for the course when it comes to the rap game. However, he never really let any of it phase him, even if the battles included names like Chris Brown, Jay-Z, and Kanye West.
As Drake rocked the broody suit look, he was also starting to get attention from other women in the industry, specifically Rihanna. Sadly, the romance didn't work out, which Drake believes was because he was just a pawn in her break-up with Brown. He told The New York Times, "You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I've done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, 'Wow, this feels terrible.'"
