Drake talks about succumbing to peer pressure and getting high at 13 or 14
In a video shared on Instagram ahead of the start of his ‘It’s All a Blur’ tour, Drake opened up about his biggest fear and shared a story about getting high before an early TV audition when he was “13 or 14.”
The ‘God’s Plan’ hitmaker said that he fears the idea that life ends one day noting “it just all goes black.”
“Someone asked me the other night what my biggest fear is,” Drake started off the video, which is soundtracked by a piano composition. “And I’ve never really had a good answer for it, but my answer was that all this is for nothing. Kind of the idea that like, one day life ends and it just all goes black.”
“And I guess that question like, sent me, you know, obviously deep into a spiral of thought. And it makes me think about my life and how surreal it feels at times. I go back to this day when I was like, 13 or 14.”
He went on to share how he got high with some kids right before an audition, which was assumedly for Jimmy on Degrassi: The Next Generation, his breakthrough role.
“I had an audition for a TV show that ultimately shaped my life and before my audition, I went to this kid’s house and I out of, I guess, a desire to be accepted,” he continued.
“I would succumb to peer pressure, and I got high with these kids right before my audition, and I kind of wonder, like, if something bad happened that day or, you know, maybe I’m still high, maybe I’m in some coma. And this is just like me playing out my ideal life. And yeah, that concept has stuck with me for a lot of years. I mean, it feels like reality, it feels tangible. But I definitely wonder sometimes.”
