Drake Reveals How Much Ice Cube Paid Him For One Of His First Shows

by HHL JT

In the summer of 2006, Drake opened for Ice Cube at the Toronto club Kool Haus.

While Drake was somewhat famous for his television work, he was just getting started as a rapper, having dropped his debut mixtape Room For Improvement.

It was one of The Boy's first shows and he was paid the princely sum of 100 bucks [Canadian].

Drake still has the receipt and he showed it off on IG.

Would have been interesting to see what Cube made.  But it's safe to say Drake has come a long way.

Speaking of Drake and Cube, in 2018, Cube predicted that Drake's run at the top was about to be over.

"He had a good run," Cube said on the Sana G morning show. "You've only got a three year run in the rap game. You've only got three years at the tip top of the rap game before you have to find your place in this thing. That's just a pattern. Everybody. Wayne when he was hot, three years on top. T-Pain. Three years on top, looking for someone else."

Do you think Drake has exceeded Cube's three years rule?
