Drake covers W Magazine's art magazine issue

He is one of the most sorted rapper in the world..

Drake may actually have a point after he revealed he lost his job as a Canadian teen soap star after he refused to give up music. But it seems he made the right choice, for while failed in his quest to climb to the pinnacle of his native land's light entertainment industry, he is now a world-renowned music star worth an estimated $75 million.

Drake won a role on the Canadian TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation at the age of 15. He played basketball star Jimmy Brooks, who ended up disabled after being shot by a classmate. 

In a powderkeg interview for W Magazine's art issue, he revealed he would spend his day on set before being up all night making music, sometimes until as late as 5 am.

The macho rapper said: 'I'd sleep in my dressing room and then be in front of the cameras again by 9 am.

'Eventually, they realised I was juggling two professions and told me I had to choose. I chose this life.'

He said: 'I can't wait to get back into acting. No one ever asks me to do movies. Although music is my focal point now, I'd love to do a film.

'That was the life that I lived before, and it would be interesting to live it again.'

But for those rivals hoping it would mean a withdrawal from the world of music, it seems they are in for a shock.

The Hotline Bling favourite said: 'I'm always thinking, How do I top what I've done? How do I make this thing stronger?

'I ask myself, "Why does Adele's album go diamond, and how do I do that? How do I create art that makes minds stretch further?"

'I want to give many, many people many, many moments before I'm gone. That's truly the art of what I do. It's the only goal.'
