Alongside Lil Wayne, rapper Rick Ross was one of the earliest stars to give Drake a co-sign, reaching out to collaborate soon after the release of 's So Far Gone. In a interview with XXL , Drake talked about the value of Rick Ross's stamp of approval: "For anyone that doesn't believe in me, your favourite rappers do.
They call me for hooks, features and all that. That's all that matters. New York rapper Nicki Minaj signed to Young Money the same year as Drake, and their careers have been entwined ever since. Whether it's lending features on each other's records "Moment 4 Life," "Make Me Proud," "Only," "No Frauds" or taking sides on feuds Drake famously beefed with Meek Mill, who at the time was Minaj's boyfriend , Drake and Minaj have had a roller-coaster friendship over the years.
Chicago rapper Kanye West and Drake have had a tumultuous friendship, but they've produced equal amounts of beef and work over the years. Some of their other collaborations may not be as obvious — West is listed as a producer on 's Thank Me Later ; Drake is credited as a writer on 's The Life of Pablo — but the two always find a way to get into the studio together.
It's unclear if Drake is calling up West these days , but something tells us they're not done making music together just yet. Drake and Rihanna's relationship dates all the way back to when Drake was onset for Rihanna's "Pon De Replay" music video, which was shot in Toronto.

Once Drake earned his status as one of hip hop's top stars, he began using that power and influence to bring up newer artists. Some might also argue that it's more of a transference, where he uses artists to stay on top of musical trends. Through shouting out singers and rappers that he likes and hopping on early remixes of tracks, Drake has mastered the art of co-signing artists. Here are the artists he has lent a helping hand to.
Many thought Tesfaye would sign to the OVO label, but instead he created his own imprint called XO in , planting the seeds of what would become an ongoing rivalry between the two stars.

He's released three singles. She serves as Drake's image director and helped curate the wardrobe and album cover that went into Scorpion. Toronto producer Boi-1da says Drake, OB and Ryan are "straight comedy" when they get together, and we would believe it: he's the life of the party at Drake's music video bar mitzvah, and the guy cracking all the jokes in the "Started From The Bottom" video.
It seems that Niko's primary Drake duty to be a good friend. Niko recommended a good barber to Drake when he was still just Jimmy on Degrassi. And when he's not with Drake? He's the father to a very cute daughter and apparently a decent fly fisherman.
