I don’t know how long I necessarily want to make rap music for. While chatting with i-D Online (via Urban Daily) in May 2012, Drake again specifically mentioned the age 35: I mean I don’t even know if I’ll still be making rap music. I mean, he does say 'it's already funded.'Īnd this isn't the first time Drake's spoken about retirement. If he really thinks rappers can't find success after 35, then he truly may retire. This incident resulted in the Toronto Raptors being fined $25,000 for 'a violation of its anti-tampering rules,' per ESPN, because Drake was named the Raptors' global ambassador in 2013.īased on the above lyrics, it sure seems like Drake believes the most successful rappers are 35 and under, including himself. Drake and Durant are close, and in August 2014 Drake tried to recruit the professional basketball player to the Toronto Raptors. That's when I plan to retire, man it's already funded.įor those unaware, 'KD' is NBA star Kevin Durant, who plays for Oklahoma City Thunder. It's rainin' money, Oklahoma City Thunder. He raps, Shout out to KD we relate we get the same attention. Who hasn't done that before? Whatever the case, based on the following lyrics from 'Weston Road Flows,' retiring is most definitely something on Drake's mind. Seriously, what are the chances that he would retire at such a young age? One can't say for certain, because it just might be something he's only thought about, but would never follow through with it. That said, when you're a superstar with a lot of options, it's not that impractical. The rapper mentions in the track that he won't retire until he turns 35, which is still really young for anyone to think about retiring. I know, it kind of seems far-fetched that he would even be thinking about stepping away from the music business. For example, in 'Weston Road Flows,' Drake mentions retirement. As it usually goes with new albums, listeners can't help but analyze each song for the true meaning behind the lyrics. Friday, April 29 is a really great day for fans of the artist formerly known as Aubrey Graham, because Drake's new album Views officially dropped.
