Drake has taken a break from his acting career, which included a stint on Degrassi: The Next Generation, to pursue his musical dreams. During an interview with VH1 News, the Young Money rapper said that he would hit the big screen to play President Barack Obama in a biopic.
“I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him,” he said. “That’s the goal. I watch all the addresses. Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m pretty good at impressions.”
He said that he’s been reading scripts for some time and is actually working on penning a project with associates.
“I’ve been reading scripts for a while,” he said. “I want to do something great. I want to do something for my culture: the younger people who are still in tune with everything going on. I’m actually writing with my friends right now.”

I like Drake’s music but…this needs to stop right now, hahaha.

I seen him Degrassi once.
Once!…Fool cant act
That’s what I BEEN saying. There were SO many other actors on that show that were better than him.
drake’s voice is way too bitch made to play obama
“If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m good at impressions.”
I believe that. But just because you can impersonate someone doesn’t mean you can act. And just because you can impersonate a rapper doesn’t mean you can rap.
That was a good one!
LOL funny but tru!!
this Drake shit needs to stop. get his money thats cool but this guy straight doing to much. whats next? Drake is trying to become a astronaut? maybe his name gets so many clicks on websites anything the WWW sites see pertaining to Drake gets a headline. Softest dude in rapper EVER.
an obama biopic already? isn’t it kind of early? and the only good thing he did in his administration is kill osama. that’d be a pretty kick ass movie. make that movie instead.
FUCK DRAKE
Drake is a talented acta & rappa. it will be one of da best movies of all time. swag
Lil Wayne for president. Weezy will be a president once. swag
You really should consider suicide as an option.
what are you 10 or something
ur one-digit IQ having ass should not consider suicide jus commit patricide and put ur father out of his misery i’d commit suicide if u where my son
What an idiot, so now because his dumb ass friends think hes good at “impressions”, that qualifies him to play the part and act? What a joke this guy is, Actor aren’t doing impressions.
Not to mention he is way to young
“If you ask anyone who knows me, Im pretty good at impressions. So hes doing an impression of a rapper?
Nigga please, Your faggit ass should only play as Ty Latimore in Biopic. Fuck Drake
Word to all the niggas on here, this site is on the shady payroll. You can’t say anything that ain’t positive about Feminem or his crew without that shit being deleted by mods. This site has bowed down to the cracka and all his people. Fuck that shit, this site supposed to be for the niggas and mods deleting anything negative bout Shady. How much is Em payin yall niggas?
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are ignorant as shit. Sew your mouth shut. Take yo racist ass somewhere that cares. Your posts probably get deleted because your ignorance makes your race look bad as a whole as the mods are trying to do you a favor…
it’s 2012 u racist bitch i feel sorry for your mother
and yet your post exists
On the real though this is this dope and proof our society is changing. 30 years nobody would have told dumbass above anything. Today: lol three of us just publicly rebuked this kat for spewing that bullshit. Screw racism. Hip hop is EVERYBODY’S struggle and for everybody’s enjoyment. And that’s on the up and up…one love
so drake’s getting tired of playing a rapper?
now he wants to play the president.
canadian child actor with rich parents is getting tired of rapping like a tough guy in a southern accent, he needs a break.
fuck this faggot and anybody jocking him.
lmao @ the drake haters.. JEALOUSY IS LOVE AND HATE AT THE SAME TIME. greatest rapper out right now. show some gottam respect where its due bitch ass niggasss
you actually have to rap to be the greatest, and if you think that’s the greatest you might want to turn of your radio
shawn ur an ignorant cunt and u should stop listenin to hip hop because u know nothin about it
He’s a way better actor than common.
Honestly, drake is more well-known than obama these days. He should just star in his own biopic.
maybe u and drake should get a room
You’re right DG. I mean, how can Common’s roles in Smokin’ Aces and Terminator Salvation & American Gangster & Wanted & Street Kings & Hell On Wheels even hold a candle to…uh…oh, wait, that’s right, Drake only played a paraplegic wannabe rapper on a Canadian high school soap opera and made a brief cameo in Charlie Batlett. Jesus Christ…
Act like you know.
too bad all those movies sucked. tell me you wouldnt change the damn channel if one of those shit movies came on.
No, Date Night was bad, and that’s why I left that one out. But you’re honestly gonna tell me that American Gangster was bad? And Smokin’ Aces? C’mon, that’s blasphemy. And even if you honestly didn’t like those movies, you’re gonna tell me that if Degrassi was on you wouldn’t touch the remote, even if not to change the channel but to just throw it through the screen to ensure that MC Needs-A-Ramp never ever appeared in your living room ever again?
go Watch AMC’s Hell on Wheels and then defend your statement.
this dudes trippin. hanging out with wayne too much and those 14 year old girls screaming are getting to his head
wow drake fa real dnt look nuten like Obama i think we can all agree Denzel or Will should get tha role n i know skin anit supposed 2 matter but drake is a banana yellow on tha out side just as white in the inside.im not hating i listen 2 dude but in the words of the NFL ppl CMON MAN!
He’s only getting the part because me and Will Smith turned that shit down. We down support terrorists.
wtf does that have to do with terrorists
well niggas in hell want ac, focus makin real music and not this pms, 14 yr old teeny boppin faggotry u pushin, and get wayne n baby’s pussies out o mouth
obama would join osama if drake played him and it will never happen because denzel will shoot his ass if big willie didn’t
Shut the fuck up arab nigga or w/e. U done responded to errbdy post on here. Do u have a job at all? Eat a dick bitch
Totally agree. Fuck anyone whose name doesn’t sound white.
Dirty Smelly Arabs.
This nigga wanna play Obama. Hahahahahaha Lmao. What’s next nikki wants to play as Michelle.
a canadian better not play an american …lol
I’m more opposed to this herb acting in anything in general.
Drake is gonna cover Beyonce’s song:
If I Where A Boy feat.Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars
He raps for the ladies aint nothing wrong with that. But his male fans GOD DAMN they are gay
He has the time to think about playing Obama but doesn’t use that time to respond to Common or at least address the situation. I’m starting to think that he’s scared..
I SEE SOME OF YALL NIGGAS DONT KNOW SHIT. DRAKE DADDY IS A PROUD BLACK AMERICAN DRAKE HAS DUAL CITIZENSHIP. SO YEAH DRAKE IS AMERICAN
GO FUCK YOURSELF!!! AND DIE!!
Drake is the epitome of gladness
FUCK YALL NIGGAZ HATIN ON THE BOI! THIS NIGGA DRAKE IS SO VERSATILE HE CAN DO IT ALL!! RAPPING, ACTING, AND HE DOES IT BETTER THE OTHER WACK NIGGAS *COUGHCOMMONCOUGH*
DRAKE IS ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME. HIM AND WAYNE ARE THE BEST. FUCK EVERYONE WHO DOESNT AGREE. BOW DOWN TO GREATNESS..
5 LETTERS: YMCMB
DWAYNE “LIL WAYNE” CARTER FOR PRESIDENT.. HE’LL MAKE GREAT CHANGE 🙂
5 LETTERS: YMCMB
Common could play Michelle.
I guess I can see him playing the president. I mean, I’m sure Obama can’t rap either.
“I want to do something for my culture: the younger people who are still in tune with everything going on.”…HUH???….Honestly, what does that mean. I thought his “culture” was Canada and being Jewish??? If he wins the role, more power to him, but he just seems lame as fuck!!!!
Yes I agree. Jews are bad people.
1) there is no role
2) When they do make a film, I suspect only real actors would be able to apply.
3)…… I agree with the general anti-Semitic feeling. They are crazy occupying bastards.
Fuck the Jews.
And their lying, nuclear warhead harbouring, beards!
Shalom
Fuck all yall niggas. I just got circumcised and am in a pissed off mood. Don’t fuck wit me or my jewish people!
Shyne was just circumcised…..???
This article was Canada Dry
Make no mistake I’m talking to Drake.
That comment was American Made.
I think the Obama film should be like animal farm.
Obama could be a Monkey.
Michelle, a larger fatter assed monkey….
And the little coloured kids could be two fat wild boars.
Suggestions Welcome.
wow…weak trolling is straight up embarrasing
Why does every light skin nigga with a square head want to play Obama? Obama isn’t a caveman jew from Canada, and besides, Drake’s voice is way too weak. I think Alphacat would be a better Obama than Drake. Hell, Alphacat is a better Drake than Drake.
hahahahahha! What a fuckin joke! That would be horrendous…an absolute mockery at that…
what a fucking lame
Ya thats what I thought, you all are RACIST bastards, I come on here and argue wit you dumbasses and you all come on here wit your cooky liberal conspiracy theories about Illumanati controlling the world and your Occupy wall street Marxist communist psycho shit, and now you all have stooped to NAZISM, fantastic, thank you for exposing yourselves, Ha,
Cuz now YOU and HITLER have a couple of things in common 1) Socialist beliefs 2) Paranoid beliefs in conspiracies and now add 3) hatred against Jews
4) Taste in music
Fucking Americans.
They nothing about world politics. Hitler was Socialist now was he? LOL
Hitler was terrible man who did terrible things. Recognizing the Jews should be gassed wasn’t one of them!
Look what they have done since… How many Palestinians have died from the Jewish occupation??
You a dumb motherfucka.
6m jewish died.
answer: more than 6 million….
My nigga 2 Chainz should play Obama
hahaha
Drake should find a role as a penis loving pop rapper…that’s right up his alley…
DRAKE AND WAYNE THE GREATEST OF OUR GENERATION
Fuck off homo
Im pretty good at impressions.
Yeah, we know that. But even better at playing the bitch…I hope that tattoo artist catches you at a rave after nicki minaj puts a rufie in your drink and kicks your ass…
Movies about puppets ?? I’d rather watch The Muppets
Yeah, that’s right Obama is puppet.
Read lately??
Man if Barak says no, and calls Drake a bad rapper, he’ll be the coldest motherfucker alive. Like I didn’t give a shit about him two months ago, but Fam, you gotta listen. If he hate on Drake, hate on Drake, he’s the best in the world. Like my nigga, Common, I’ve been listening to him since his classic, Universal Mind Control, he’s a legend, the coldest dude in rap, I’m glad that I bought his second album, The Dreamer/The Believer.
Nice sarcasm.
More Ironic than Sarcastic…
Americans just don’t get Irony, do you?
YO DRAKE YOU WANNA DO SOMETHING GREAT ??
QUIT YOUR GAY ASS RAPPING 4 A START…
YOU ARE A TRUE EMBARRESMENT AND A FAKE 4 REAL MANE….
YOUNG MONEY HOMOS RUINING RAP MUSIC
F#CK YOU
hahahaha THANK U!!!
Worrrd up.
Funny thing is: Since he originally is an actor, you can think he hast to have some interesting Music videos and performances. But no, everytime I see him on TV performing he looks like he is only looking at one point and jumps around a little bit. And mostly his music videos aren’t something special either.
And I’m clearly NOT a Drake hater. I just wonder about the fact that this guy actually used to be an actor and therefore a performer. That’s why I don’t believe he would be a strong actor in a full-length film.
Actor is a bit strong. He was on sitcom playing a guy in a wheelchair.
It was essentially him, in a wheel chair saying stuff…
I think I’ve got a betta chance of playing Obama.
In no way was i saying i hate all Jews or Canadian ppl, U cant sterotype and group of ppl(black, white, Asian, Arab, etc.) as being all the same way. All i was implying is that Drakes real culture, is not “young ppl who know whats going on.” Let us into ur world, don’t steal ours. Let us know about Bar Mitzvah and Hanukkah. Eminem don’t come in trying to be a black dude, he is influnced by black “culture”, but he talks about white shit. I do strongly dislike Drake, and what he represents, but not all Jews or Canadians
I agree – I’ve always wondered what it’s like to be one of the chosen race.
Do they just open up a bank account when your 13, and give you a parcel of stolen land from west bank as a comming of age gift???
Step ur bars up Drake. Shalom!
SOON AS U SAID CHOSEN ACE U LOST. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEBREW AND YIDDISH U’LL FEEL BETTA ABOUT YO’SELF.
OK SO BACK TO THE ARTIST AND HIS ENDEAVORS GET OFF THE FACT HES JEWISH NOBODY REALLY GIVES A FUCK
The difference between a Hebrew & a Yid???
??????
Both believe they are chosen people.
Guess what. I don’t!
Actually, dumb ass. Hebrew & Yiddish are languages –
Yiddish is German, Hebrew comes from Sumeria… both dialects. (random)
Are you trying to deny Jews believe they are chosen people? Read little one.

What a fucking homosexual butthole pucker, I hate this fucking pussy’s guts, sweet bitch!
OBAMA IS 6’2 AND DRAKE IS 5’10 , SO HOW THE FUCK IS THIS GONNA HAPPEN ?
Get ur facts str8 fag, Drake is between 6’0 & 6’1
@anonymous
and you are 4’2 when on your knees waxing drakes poetic…
DON’T MISTAKE EVERY AMERICAN COMMENTING AS A YADIG. Y’ALL CUT THAT BS OUT, I SEE IT.
You wanna hear a joke?……Drake!
It is a fuckin shame how people biased people are to this nigga Aubrey for bein a canadian jew, which has nothing to do with his music, his career, or hip hop period. I thought hip hop was about equality. Somewhere down the line, hip hop became so prejudice. Honestly, i dont give a fuck if hes a canadian jew who grew up better off, that has absolutely nothing to do with his music. You cant say he hasnt been through what he says he has, because you dont know the nigga. i cant say most of you jaw jappin fuck niggas never been in the field cause i dont know you either. But then again when i look to the right, everybody that liked HHDX on FB look like some o to the left ass people who aint wit the shit to begin wit. I guess what im tryin to say is, there wasnt this much hate in 08. nobody was callin the nigga soft when comeback came out. so where is it comin from now? His success grew and the hate grew with it i mean that cant be a coincidence. But about the article, LMAO aubrey i dont think playing obama would work out. you dont even look like him. DEnzel Washington is a better candidate. And Spike Lee gotta direct it too.
it aint bias.
if a Canadian Jew starts putting out dope albums I will by all means rock with that shit. Hasn’t happened though.
i appreciate when someone writes a comment that shows thought and actually makes sense and i agree with you
as for the article i strongly believe that that obama shit would not work out
some people in this site honestly sound gayer than the niggas they’re claimin to be gay. they start dissin em on their fashion sense and what they wear in the picture of the week, as if they were dressin in Louis Vuittons all day long. when really they probly in their purple bathrobe bumpin their favorite rapper who was 5x less swag than the nigga theyre rippin on. hilarious, quite
He’s a shit rapper dude. Get off his dick.
what studio would put their money into a obama biopic with drake in the lead. makes me laugh.
Hey Guys! Man I sure Hate this Drake guy, he’s so soft, ole pussy ass nigga. Right guys? Yea, i just wanted to come here today befo fourth period and let my dx bronies know whats up. Well, gotta go, my mom wont stop texting.in the words of my homey jc word up!
P.S. I think Drake is gay to bra
makes sense… a non-american playin the part of our immigrant president
We have people this dumb on a hip hop site?
I mean I expect these comments when I troll Fox Nation but not here….
He’s not from my part of Canada.
Good at impressions? NO SHIT. You put on a fake accent to rap and when you’re around other rappers….Fucking fake canadian faggot
u i am not american or canadian but the comment below me is what makes me dislike americans. they only care about themselves.
WOW you just generalized a whole fucking country made up of mostly immigrants or decendants of immigrants from other countries. You sound like a one of those dick heads who think is trendy to dis the united states. Well guess what fucker? Important countries in Europe (i.e. italy, germany, greece, etc) are going down the shit hole with the US cus the blood money is all ready mixed. Yall aint no fucking different. Rogue nations got a target on yalls backs too
ROFL
Drake, no.
A Canadian Jew who’s acting is wacker than his music. Just no.
Considering the ears, there is something wrong if Will Smith doesn’t get that role.
NIGGA SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! IT’S NOT LIKE YOU GETTIN ANY PUSSSSAYY
leave your bigotry out of this, clown.
In response to “Ghos” of Nat Turner…
and fuck condescending Europeans.
I see some posting.
I been to Europe, yall are just as fucking stupid as most Americans. You like to act so travelled and crack jokes about Americans not knowing the world, when the fact is 3 of your countries can fit in New England. You been to Paris and Germany? Word? I been to Rhode Island and Connecticut. It takes a day. Go fuck ya selves.
DRAKE IS AMERICAN DUMB NIGGAS HE GOT DUAL CITIZENSHIP HIS POPS FROM MEMPHIS
Its perfect! Because Drake really is the Obama of Hip-Hop! haha most underwhelming let down of a muthafucker ever, yet millions love him out of pure ignorance. I smell an oscar!
Well said
I still can’t figure out why people are trying to hate on Drake, when hasn’t done anything wrong. People hate for no reason at all. Kinda reminds me of Middle School.
he frontin like he is a gangster
Will Smith
Why would you want to play Barak Obama? At least play someone who has done something positive for the community, not embarrassed it..

READ YOUNG ONE.
he watches and listens to every address and still has no clue whats going on. dumb fag
Wack rapper, dude needs to check himself.
Fuck all this wack ass rap, man its killing me. Fuck little wayne, fuck rick floss, fuck drake. And fuck you too
Can this Glitter Blood aka Drake say anything worst?! Boy this guy is just a corny guy. I cant wait for his career to be over with. He’s the new Ja Rule.
Im making a perdiction:
1. Because he lost to Common, got bitch slapped by Ludacris, and threatened by Beanie Sigel. I’m guessing his next album or mix tape will be all hiphop.
2. It wont work, the cats out of the bag and people know he’s fake. Just like Rick Ross he will have to get help from industry artist to make him relevant.
3. Album sales will be big again but that will be the last big album. From there he will lose his girl fan base.
4. Retire or go back to acting on a tv show.
Word up
U wishing another nigga a downfall, but why? This same daviddanielz is the jay nuthugger and now u want another man to fall off and go broke cause he doesn’t make the kind of music u like. U niggas have hate STUCK UP in ur friggin minds. I hope u have a business too and someone wish u bad. fohwtbs son
I got a prediction.
He’s gonna come out as a homo in the next few months and turn undercover fag hag.
