35. Didn’t go to school with him but the YouTuber Vitaly went to my school and had my multimedia class. Our teacher showed us the videos he made there.
Also Bhad Bhabie showed us her new nipple piercings in 6th grade.
36. I was in Drake’s class for grades 1-4. We weren’t super tight, but we got along okay. His mother was always taking him out of school to go to auditions, and TBQH, it never really seemed he was feeling the whole stage kid thing back then. Not that he seemed to hate it, just that to him it seemed more like an errand his mother often took him on. (Though he later seemed to grow into it, so good on him.)
I haven’t seen him since then, so I don’t know what he’s like IRL these days, and I hope he’s happy with whatever he’s up to. But I will say that I am totally incapable of buying his stage persona. I remember little Aubrey Graham as, if anything, kind of a goody-two-shoes. Quick to remind other kids of rules nobody else saw them breaking, inclined to take the teacher’s side if he overheard other kids complaining about her, that kinda thing. Assuming he wasn’t faking an accent the entire time he went to elementary school (I gather that is not, in his case, a safe assumption.), I can also confirm that buddy’s natural accent and dialect is indistinguishable from any other middle-class white kid from Toronto.
