Drake’s Diet
Summary
Drake cut 30 lbs. because he wanted to look thin in suits, but more recently he changed his mind and wanted to look bigger. He isn’t especially forthcoming about his diet except to say he passes on the carbs and loads up on the lean animal protein. Pasta used to be a staple, but he mostly takes a pass now so he can look ripped. He has also cut back on the booze (ironic considering he has a line of whiskey). Drake also drinks plenty of water each day to stay hydrated.

Drake’s Lifestyle
Seriously Sweet Dreams
Drake has a mattress that cost $400K. Handmade in Sweden, it takes about 600 hours to put together. Only about a dozen were made in the first run and they now have a waiting list.

Drake’s dad was a drummer for the iconic Jerry Lee Lewis, his uncle Larry Graham was a bassist for Sly and the Family Stone and his other uncle Teenie Hodges was a lead guitarist and songwriter for Al Green.
Mind-Boggling Bling
Drake’s fancy mattress isn’t even close to the most expensive item he owns. Besides the one-of-kind concert grand piano, state-of-the-art recording studio and regulation-size basketball court, his 50,000-square-foot house also contains a 3,200-sq. ft. master bedroom, a 2-story closet, a 4,000-lb. black marble bathtub, and a chandelier made with 20,000 pieces of Swarovski crystal. His garage is yet another story. It holds a $3.4M Bugatti Veyron.
