Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Drake closed out his monumental Some Special Shows 4 U European tour with PartyNextDoor in Hamburg, Germany on September 23, 2025, turning Barclays Arena into hip-hop history as fans packed in for the last two nights of a run that spanned 33 shows across 13 cities and nine countries. His Instagram, always a magnet for fanfare and drama, lit up again just before the Hamburg finale with a post that blended party scenes and tour highlights under the cryptic caption Oh nice…more unsolicited advice from rappers we loved in 2005, which triggered a storm of speculation online. Some claimed it was aimed at past rivals like Kendrick Lamar—especially with recent social media quips like Nobody loved Kendrick in 05—but the real target of his shade remains unconfirmed. Comments piled on, debating whether he was sneak dissing others or just stirring the pot as only Drake can.
Drake spent the final days of the tour enjoying Germany, including a highly publicized Oktoberfest stop in Munich where his Instagram was full of party shots and signature luxury drip, fueling headlines and keeping fans glued to his movements. The tour was not without hiccups—a Manchester show faced last-minute rescheduling due to travel mishaps—but fans were rewarded with an August 5 show that many described as unforgettable. Attendance was way up as his star continues to ascend. At the grand Hamburg sendoff, crowd energy was through the roof with Drake debuting new tracks from his highly anticipated album ICEMAN, including What Did I Miss? and collaborations with Central Cee, Yeat, and Julia Wolf. The spectacle marked another world record as Drake became the first artist to surpass 120 billion Spotify streams, a streaming milestone that cements his global legacy.
On the business side, Drake remains a mogul in motion. Impact Wealth Magazine estimates his 2025 net worth at $250-300 million, with fortunes built on opulent real estate in Toronto and Beverly Hills, ventures like Virginia Black whiskey, OVO Sound, the NOCTA Nike line, and a lucrative ongoing ambassadorship with Stake.com. Forbes and multiple outlets report rumors swirling about either a Las Vegas residency at a record-setting price or a Netflix docuseries, with whispers of his next move expanding Virginia Black or buying property in Dubai and Miami. Headlines this week also turned to a developing lawsuit as A$AP Rocky weighed in on Drake’s legal battle with Universal Music Group over defamation claims related to Kendrick’s Not Like Us diss, pushing the Drake-Kendrick narrative further.
Hype for ICEMAN is at a fever pitch, with social media sleuths interpreting every Instagram like and DM for clues. Drake recently liked a fan comment teasing the album’s imminent drop, suggesting news could arrive now that the tour is finished. Industry insiders such as Johnny Manziel hint the album may arrive by November, but nothing is verified. In short, Drake is everywhere right now—on the charts, on Instagram, in German beer halls, and at the center of every table-turning headline.
