Drake starred on the Canadian teen show Degrassi: The Next Generation and recently said that he was removed from the program because of over-work. The show’s co-creator, Linda Schuyler, disagrees.
Schuyler says that the show was well aware of Canadian rapper/actor’s two careers and attempted to help.
“I’m hoping there was just some miscommunication here, because if that’s the perception nothing could make me sadder,” she stated in an interview with Buzzfeed. “Not only did we know [about Drake’s workload], we helped him with it.”
Originally Drake told W Magazine his schedule had him too tired to perform well at each career, leading him to choose music.
“That was part of the reason I was kicked off the show,” he explained. “Back then, I’d spend a full day on set and then go to the studio to make music until 4 or 5 a.m. I’d sleep in my dressing room and then be in front of the cameras again by 9 a.m. Eventually, they realized I was juggling two professions and told me I had to choose. I chose this life.”

Drake did have it rough. He was being overworked on degrassi and got underpaid. They were struggling to make rent. His rap career bought more money even before cash money signed him.
Umm no Dan just no.
More like Drake had it easy. He wasn’t overworked and he wasn’t underpaid. He made enough for rent. He didn’t make a dime off rap until he signed to CM.

Everyone in Toronto knows that the most of the Degrassi cast that Drake was a part of got locked out of their change rooms and studios when the higher ups decided to go with a “new look”
