Rapper Drake was born and raised in which Canadian city?

Rapper Drake was born and raised in Toronto, Canada.

Aubrey Drake Graham was born in Toronto, Ontario, on October 24, 1986. After his parents separated when he was five, he was raised primarily by his mother, Sandi Graham, in Toronto. His childhood included time in the city's Forest Hill neighbourhood, while he also spent summers with his father in Memphis.

Toronto remained central to Drake's identity as he began acting on Degrassi: The Next Generation and later built his music career. His mixtapes and albums frequently reference the city, its neighbourhoods, and its local culture. He is often associated with Toronto's “6” nickname, popularized through his music and linked to the city's former telephone area codes.

Vancouver, Montreal, and Ottawa are all Canadian cities, which makes them plausible distractors, but none is Drake's birthplace or primary childhood home. Drake's mixed Canadian and American family background can also cause confusion: his father is an African American musician from Memphis, while his mother is Canadian.
