Drake and Jeff Bezos probably don’t have too much in common, but the 6 God and Amazon founder both began their journeys from humble beginnings and went on to reach the pinnacle while dominating their respective industries.
Drizzy took to Instagram on Wednesday (July 6) to reflect on how far he’s come with a photo of his first apartment in Toronto and a second slide featuring Bezos and his early office days starting Amazon.
“Gotta start somewhere,” Drake captioned the post.
The photos eventually landed on Bezos’ radar and the former Amazon CEO hopped into the comments section to return the favor by citing lyrics from Drake’s 2013 “Started From the Bottom” anthem.
“Started from the bottom now we’re here,” Bezos wrote.
Drizzy couldn’t believe the business mogul replied and the rare interaction made a hyped Drake fan out with his response.
“Holyyy Jeff knows about the man dem nobody can chat to me today!!! Big Bezos in the comments,” he wrote back.
Drake and Bezos are actually business partners after investing in the sports company Overtime earlier this year, which has raised $80 million and gives aspiring NBA players another avenue to get to the league outside of the NCAA system.

The pair also mingled when they brought in the New Year together at the same lavish party in St. Barts.

Rappers love when they’re recognized by rich, wealthy white men.
I concur they both have become successful men congrats, yet I wouldn’t quite say they started from the bottom. Drake was on a tv show as a kid, he and his mom were in the burbs, his uncle Larry Graham was an internationally known singer, his dad was not absent. Having said that LeBron James started from the bottom with a single teen mom in the projects, Allen Iverson started from the bottom single teen mom, Dominique Wilkins and his brother Gerald started from the bottom, etc. Not Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, Grant Hill, etc. Drake has come a very long way and I’m happy for him, but he didn’t come from the bottom.
who cares people want jeff bezos money people want drakes money they started from the bottom to just eventually fuck people over about money.
