Drake Faces Off With Katie Couric

Drake Faces Off With Katie CouricRapper Drake sat down with Katie Couric to discuss an array of topics ranging from his fake marriage to Nicki Minaj, to his love for Aaliyah and continued admiration for Lil Wayne. When asked about Wayne ranking among the greats, Drake was effusive in his praise.

“I think Wayne is the closest thing we have to an iconic figure in my generation,” Drake shared with Couric. “To me, he is the rock star, he is the icon, he is the messiah that people look up to and say, ‘This guy really controls the market.’ It’s not just his music. It’s his life. It’s rare you get people like that.”


Here are a few video excerpts from the interview where Drake also describes his upbringing as a biracial Jewish kid. –djr
