Victor Stone in a TV show that never came to fruition, while also sharing concept art of Drizzy in character.
“Cyborg concept for a series that didn’t happen,” he wrote in the caption. “They wanted to cast Drake at one point.”

As an actor, Drake is best known for his role as James “Jimmy” Brooks in Degrassi: The Next Generation, starring in 100 episodes between 2001 and 2008. During an appearance on the Cal Cast podcast in 2017, Drizzy discussed a potential return to acting.
“Acting is another thing that I just can’t wait to really dive into, I think after I release More Life, which is this playlist I’m working on and finish this tour,” he said at the time. “I think I’m going to really start to position myself in the acting world and, hopefully, take some great roles.”

“When I choose to decompress or relax — not in the back of my mind, in the front of my mind — my biggest fear is if somebody’s not relaxing right now and they’re going to stumble upon something.”
