Drake rented a Rolls-Royce in 2007 to convince people he was "destined to make it"

Alongside a 14-year-old video of himself in a Rolls-Royce, Drake wrote on Instagram: "Back in 2007 we used to finesse this Rolls Royce Phantom rental to convince people in the city we were destined to make it. I used to scrape together 5k a month somehow to keep up appearances (sic)"

Drake used renting the vehicle as a means of motivating himself to reach the top of the music industry.

The 'Hotline Bling' hitmaker - who is now one of the world's best-selling artists - said: "Even though I don’t recommend putting yourself in financial trouble for material things I realize now that this was just my way of extreme manifesting. I needed to see it and feel it and have it to believe that I could see and feel and have anything I wanted. Today in 2021 my brother @futuretheprince tracked down the exact car I use to stress over and gifted it to me…it’s mine now.

Manifestation complete. (sic)"

Drake subsequently thanked his followers for their birthday messages.

He wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "Thank you for all the love and appreciation and gifts and texts and dm’s…more than just loved I feel truly appreciated and that is the only gift I ever needed. (sic)"

Drake previously revealed that he feels proud of how he's dealt with fame and success.

He reflected: "I think one of my biggest accomplishments is the fact that I didn’t let this massive, massive change in my life destroy me.

"That’s my biggest accomplishment. I made a lot of money. I been a lot of places. I had a lot of opportunities to f*** this up. And didn’t."
