I added a bunch of pictures from last night’s Much Music Video Awards to the gallery. Most of them are of Shenae, Nina, and Drake. There is also an adorable picture of Shenae and Stefan backstage. Click here to check them out.
A new article in The National Post describes how the current Degrassi cast members are reacting to Drake’s success and album release. Here is a little excerpt:
“If you saw him on the street, what would you call him, Aubrey or Drake?” asks Degrassi cast member Melinda Shankar, who plays Alli Bhandari on the show, at a listening session of Thank Me Later in a classroom on the set of the long-running show.
“Aubrey, because that’s what I knew him as first,” responds Paula Brancati (Jane Vaughn on the show), who says she enjoyed performing with Graham, even if he spent much of the time glued to his BlackBerry.

After months/years of waiting, Drake’s debut album Thank Me Later will be released tomorrow! It’s hard to imagine that not long ago he was still our Jimmy Brooks. Now he’s about to have the #1 album on the Billboard charts! Don’t forget to pick up your copy tomorrow or download it on iTunes. We feel a little like proud parents right now I think.
As many of you already know, we are exactly 1 week away from Drake’s highly anticipated album release. Thank Me Later comes out next Tuesday June 15th! It’s hard to imagine that not long ago he was our very own Jimmy Brooks. Over the past year he has become a household name, getting recognition from the press as well as other celebs.
TVSquad.com recently took a look back at some of his best Degrassi moments. Click here to read it for some lols.
Thanks to Andie for sending this in!
No surprise here. Drake is continuing to take the music world by storm. The former Degrassi star has received 4 Juno nominations, trailing only Michael Buble for the top spot. His song “Best I Ever Had” has been nominated for “Single of the Year.” He is also nominated for “New Artist of the Year,” and a double nomination in the category of “Rap Recording of the Year” for his debut EP So Far Gone and the collaborative track “Still Fly.” We’re confident that Drake might be taking home a few trophies. The Juno Awards take place on Sunday, April 18th in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Check out the official website for a complete list of nominees.
Drake continues to take the music world by storm, picking up a Grammy Award Nomination this year. His song “The Best I Ever Had” has been nominated for “Best Rap Solo Performance.” Drake is up against Eminem, Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, and Mos Def in that category. Drake is also nominated for “Best Rap Song (Songwriters Award)”
Congrats to Drake for being the first Degrassi cast member to get nominated for a Grammy! lol
In a new interview, Drake AKA our very own Aubrey Graham discussed how he got his role on Degrassi. It was not the most conventional method! lol. Drake talks about his upbringing and life as both Jewish and black. In grade 9, he met with an agent who set him up for a Degrassi audition. He says:
I’ve never told this story before but I had actually smoked Marijuana for the first time before I went to the audition, [laughs] so, it was going to be fun. I was in the bathroom splashing water on my face and all this stuff. But that actually led to me actually leading a very clean cut life!
LOL! I guess he must be a really good actor. Click here to read the full interview.
